The Appellate Division ruled today that “the amendments that passed on August 25, 2026, are invalid” — the Brooklyn Democratic Party can’t change its rules to reverse an election result. This is a victory for democracy and for common sense. www.nycourts.gov/courts/ad2/H... 1/🧵

it's kinda funny the way this article describes how a model being unsafe -- ignoring guardrails, pretending to have done things it didn't, not following user instructions -- also makes a model a shitty consumer product

Let us be clear: Brooklyn needs a fair vote by the elected District Leaders. The Chair attempting to pick her own successor after she lost an election isn’t democracy, it's cronyism, and the illegal rules changes she has fought to enact would permanently end democratic oversight of our party.

I know this isn't really the point, but the triple lock really is one of the dumbest policies anyone has ever come up with turning "our government's current revenue definitionally cannot track its future commitments" into policy is just incredible work

the clearest takeaway from this piece by Brett McGurk, which none of the characters involved can see, is that the US' deep entanglement in Middle Eastern politics constantly creates lose-lose situations for the US while empowering the worst regional actors www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

what's particularly funny about this is the implication that Hamas leadership was paying attention to the dynamics of American politics and modulating its position in relation to those dynamics but nothing of the sort was happening within the Israeli government

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

the bizarre thing about this person is that water use is not, in general, a problem. what is a problem is using more water than you have. cutting all water used on datacenters doesn't solve the problem even if you cut it to zero, and stopping insane ag usage does even if you cut it 10%.

Some rules I've tried to teach my kids about social media and media in general. Before reacting, ask: 1. Why do I know this? 2. Is it important? 3. What is the post/story *not* showing me? 4. Does anyone actually need my opinion on this? I don't always live up to these myself, but they're helpful!

what i am trying to get at here is that rationalism was an attempt to outline what turned out to be the extraordinary power of statistical systems at tasks for which they naively seem unsuited. viewed from 2011 they seem to have been prophetic, but were wrong on most details and insane about others

it's precisely true that LLMs raise the issues—already known as deep problems in philosophy of mind—of what "thinking" and "understanding" are it's like the opposite of a problem that should be solved in a stylebook
