"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I spoke with a former Xbox employee who described their current communications strategy as “personal brand development for ASHA,” and now that I’ve heard it, I can’t unsee it. There’s a push to just get her in front of microphones. And the result is a lot of vapid meaningless quotes.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

The right’s reaction to HW Bush-nominated Justice David Souter ruling according to the law was committing to only pre-screened ideologues who’d ignore law to get preconceived outcomes, and manipulate the political system to get them on the bench. Expect that with ending birthright citizenship now.

If you don’t like comic book/superhero movies, fine, they’re not to your taste, no worries. But if you proudly present your disdain as a sign of virtue, an indication of what refined cinematic taste you have, well, then you annoy the fuck out of me.

In all seriousness: religious freedom only works when it is a common project of defending everyone's freedom of worship and belief. It doesn't work as an individual project of asserting your own freedom to be religious how you like. Senator Lee is learning a hard lesson here. Hope he remembers it.

My hot sports take is that Knicks fans are, if anything, underestimating how badly Trump’s attendance can mess up the good vibes. The Colorado Avalanche looked like world-beaters all season, then didn’t win a single game after Jared Polis announced the commutation of Tina Peters. #ETTD

One of the major reasons I was never in on Bernie is that his personnel choices are ass, and have always been ass. And that extends to so many of his endorsements! The exceptions are almost entirely political talents who would have succeeded without his attention (AOC, Mamdani).

If you believe that not voting sends a message, you’re wrong. It just shows you’re out of touch. If you want change, you must go to the voting booth. Voting is your constitutional right to make changes to your government. Register to vote, help a neighbor, help someone get ID and register to vote

The difference? Human connection. Early internet/web made connecting to all sorts of people, communities, events possible. Queer kids immediately began to treat the web like "their favorite aunt." AI, on the other hand, is a project about destroying human presence and connection.
