Why don’t companies use AI in ways that are organic extensions of their product? Spotify has my listen history—and all the lyrics & album covers & metadata—in context by default. Why can’t I pop open a chat and say, “the kid wants to hear ‘the one where the guy goes crazy at the end’ again??”

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Stay alert for HR 7661! This horrible book banning bill has been brewing in the House. Please call your reps to make sure they know about it, and to make sure it doesn't get snuck into any wild-ass omnibus bills. And thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for the graphic encapsulating the bill

I’m a lifelong early adopter and I LOVE Kickstarter, but I always miss early bird rewards bc I’m distracted. (parent brain?) So I built this tool for myself and it worked! I got the reward I wanted and saved like 700 bucks, so… I am launching it as a real thing. Try it free! slackerbacker.com

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

This is a fascist, eliminationist project to eradicate trans people from public life. Full stop. Any Dem - like Newsom - who doesn’t fully unequivocally support trans people at this moment, who doesn’t fight this tooth and fucking nail, needs to be pushed out of power asap. Reddest of lines.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Airport security gave my 2yo this coloring book today. Neat way for him to learn that guns exist!
A blue coloring book with a red title: Don’t Play With Guns. It features a beige cartoon dog aghast that his peer, an orange cat, is holding a gun.

A million valid criticisms, and I keep coming back to their north star metric: efficiency. Not efficacy, impact, or quality. They chose arguably the worst metric for complex systems.

This piece of mine, my only meaningful work of erasure really, has had a long life. People write to me about it all the time. It's an erasure of a page of the application to become a naturalized US citizen; I made it in 2017 and it's feeling relevant again
