@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social Can you please (when convenient, of course) post an explainer thread on why the courts can't force the staff at Delany Hall to provide minimally acceptable conditions? It seems like a federal prison would be reined in if they were treating prisoners this way...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Watching you on with Nicole right now. It seems to me that with half the people in America living paycheck to paycheck, for whom an unexpected $400 bill is an existential threat, the discussion of spiritual healing is going to sound out of touch. 1/2

@timmiller.bsky.social Hi Tim. I'd REALLY love to read the Bulwark these days - I see lots of articles I'm interested in. But I'm retired on social security and can't afford to take on subscriptions. Some outfits (TPM, etc) have comped me since I retired. Would you guys consider doing the same?

@volts.wtf Tom Steyer is running ads in CA saying he'll bring down energy costs by breaking up the monopolies. I assume he means PG&E and SoCalEd. Does that make sense? Can a Governor do that? Would it bring down rates? It sounds pretty sketchy to me...

@robynbennis.bsky.social Curious what you think about this. I think it's overwrought in many ways - stuff happened before the world recognized those marginalized and in the shadows, and not ALL of it was bad. But I think it's worth thinking about. (And yeah, Silverberg LeGuin and Ellison)...

?I'd just like SOMEONE to answer this one simple question. Why is it so desperately important to you to try to convince me not to use an LLM? If you don't want to use GenAI, that's fine. Frankly, nobody cares. But why do so many people scream at me all day about how evil I am for using it?

I don't understand people on here who are skeptical that AI will take jobs. If even 1 in 20 jobs are eliminated it will have real consequences. How many line welders are there now? Prepress/Pastup jobs? We're on the cusp of eliminating long-haul truck drivers. This is already happening...
