Kid Mayor has become Dad Mayor, polling rumored to come in at 103%

Close crop of Mayor Mamdani in his chair, sitting in a manner that pulls his clothes taut against his body, which gives the appearance of a gut that goes well with the handlebar mustache caused by his goofy smile

On WSJ's The Journal podcast, they profiled this vigilante guy who has identified and reported 60,000 scammers on LinkedIn, which is more interesting when viewed as an exercise in Microsoft receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars of free labor to fix their shitty platform

It totally tracks that two rich old white dudes got together and decided that "political disagreements don't need to harm your relationships" was a crucial new message that had to be shared

My opinion matters rather little. Nevertheless, I will share that if you are a professional communicator I expect you to be able to answer questions without saying "absolutely!" first

This was a emotionally challenging piece for me to write--angering, saddening, and tbh frightening--but I also think it's important There were so many opportunities to save Tierra Walker's life and it's so obvious why her pregnancy ended in death anyway ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Tierra Walker’s Death Was Preventable. The Conservative Legal Movement Made It Predictable

Republican politicians have made Texas doctors increasingly afraid to provide lifesaving abortion care.

They're actually arguing that it is cinema, but because it's corporate cinema made by hundreds of people's combined work, it falls under the Pope's definition of AI — disproving his point. Which is stupid, but,

I do genuinely think this has served me well in many cases (most people are genuine people and hate "networking" too) but I am sure that I've missed out on some opportunities that could be "extractive" but mutually beneficial

000

trello @nicky.wiki · 9h

I think that I've always treated networking as an exercise in making potential friendships as a sort of coping mechanism for my discomfort with the inherent potential extractive nature of the interaction.

The straightforward explanation is that nobody can kick you out of an autonomous taxi, but something about the perverse incentives of our virtual worlds feels more interesting and punchy

Someone more eloquent than me can probably make an interesting point about how these people seek total physical privacy so that they can eschew any virtual privacy whatsoever

It may shock some (tech writers) to know this, but people have been networking (making friends) without getting their phones out (opening and closing their mouths to make words) for millennia

I have a real issue with the "slightly flattened, jelly-donut like shape" description here. Either these scientists have never eaten a donut or are looking at the wrong Earth

I believe it's (somewhat) as straightforward as it sounds: they sell the GPUs, which replaces GPUs on their balance sheet with a ton of cash. Then they lease the GPUs back for a comparatively paltry sum. Long-term it's silly, but it does buy them better near-term optics and ostensible flexibility

Fellow white people: prior to making fun of Pete Hegseth's "no beardos" thing, you should be made aware prior to doing so that it's steeped in racism and so pointing out white guy beards isn't really a dunk

I'm surprised that BlueSky leaves so much of this work to you without a Head of Communications to triage and manage responses/messaging. It just seems like you're being asked to do too much. Design, implement, communicate, and defend the T&S policies? A more or less impossible task

I once led a big queer employee group at a big company and we would often be asked for help drafting or facilitating these communications to HR or managers or teams And we were of course very very honored to do it. Even if you don't come out, maybe your work has a similar network of future friends?

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

TRUMP: Did you see the story about my uncle? TIME: The one who taught at MIT? TRUMP: I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest.

Do you trust Sam Altman?

I like him. Do I trust him? Who do I trust? I like Sam Altman. Smart. Dario's smart. They're all smart. We're dealing with a very high level of IQ. Very very high level. That's a good thing. I like that. I like it. Did you see the story about my uncle?

The one who taught at MIT?

I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I'm fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I'm a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand. I understand it much more than I think any president would, because I do have an ability on this. I have an ability on those things that were the new frontiers.

Just another day at the office where you pay the billionaire $125/week to park at their separately owned hotel, so you can't even pretend to get it back via profit sharing

Or guys at the urinals splashing everywhere hold their small dick with one hand and scrolling on their phone with the other

I also don’t understand how there’s always a puddle of pee water under the urinals

Fidelity Investments (privately owned by billionaire nepo baby) recently reneged on their longstanding hybrid work promise, bringing employees back for a required 5 days/week. My buddy has sent at least five of these texts about the Boston HQ since this policy commenced lol

It's so straightforward to understand that the only form of perceived agency left to a victim is to decide that they weren't a victim at all. To ignore this is to not have spent one second empathizing with any one of the thousands of women who have bravely shared their perspectives. Which, yeah
