This part. For all its flaws, social media is a priceless resource for escaping from the grassroots, homegrown, domestically-sourced stupid that many people live with day to day.

ok gonna get Sincere(TM) here for a second There's a lot of doomerism about how "We're all cooked" because "The GOP is trying to steal our votes." So here's the true story of how the GOP tried to steal our votes here in NC and FAILED. TWICE. Ballot fraud isn't final. It gets stopped all the time.

We can't "own" the billionaires by withholding the "farmer" title from them. For one thing, the "farmer" title isn't... like.... bestowed by a mandate of the people anyway. People who own farms will continue to do so, & dictate how agriculture works, whether we call them "farmers" or not.

Brief rundown on the real breakdown in law & food policy. What let this Cyclospora outbreak get as big & un-trackable as it is? It's not DOGE! Decades of lobbying by the food industry has gutted ALL KINDS of regulations, for years. slate.com/news-and-pol...

An excellent use case for why people really need to be able to define “AI” and recognize it’s an umbrella term, not a synonym for heavyweight commercial LLMs/frontier models.

Heat bad. Cool good. Whatever makes you cool is good and we should help everyone get and stay cool. Using this as an excuse for insults and counter-insults and racism and condescension...if I wanted that, I'd still be on Twitter. Do better.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

I’m mulling over, as I often do when bracing to go into Specialist Nerd Spaces, the difference between the Person of Vast Experience who is then jaded/cynical/snobbish, vs one with the same experience who can remain enthusiastic, recall the beginner’s heart & curiosity, & truly welcome the newbie.

Over a month later, it occurs to me that the correct conclusion to this train of thought is to simply call it "fake intelligence."

For anyone mailing their #taxes today - take them to the post office, hand them to an employee, and ask for a manual postmark. Otherwise the USPS can't guarantee they'll be postmarked today. about.usps.com/newsroom/sta...

Again, if a customer wants to ensure that their mailpiece receives a postmark, and that the date on the postmark aligns with the date of mailing, the customer may take the mailpiece to a Postal Service retail location and request a manual (local) postmark at the retail counter when tendering their mailpiece. The manual postmark will be applied free of charge.

I keep seeing people saying "We shouldn't be calling it artificial intelligence, because it isn't!" The phrase isn't going anywhere. We just need to remind people what "artificial" (colloquially) means.

When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down. Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

Rest is *good*, unscheduled time is *good.* You are not always either producing or decaying. Creativity flows from shutting things up enough to hear yourself, to be able to synthesize everything you’ve taken in lately.
