One of the first albums I bought with my own money (when it first came out!!!) and I don't think I've stopped hearing it in my head since then.

I can’t decide if people who assert that contemporary AIs can think or are conscious do so out of fear or out of envy. But I can say that any such people do so either out of emotion or perhaps driven by some pecuniary interest in it being true, not from any fully informed or defensible position.

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

It’s important to remember that Hasan Piker isn’t in the business of getting people elected, or in the business of politics in general, he’s in the Hasan Piker business and that stock goes up whenever he does something that makes people talk about Hasan Piker

After spending the entire breaking out in laughter every time I thought about the Kash Patel Senate hearing on the FBI hiring policy concerning bestiality, I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe he doesn’t know what the term means.

On Sept 11th, I think about Cindy Cohn's description of what it was like to come into work at EFF on September 12th, knowing that everything positive she had hoped to achieve was now on hold and we were in for several desperate years of playing defense.

I feel better about NYC right now than I have in the past 60 or so years I've lived here. This piece by @masnick.com gets to the heart of it along with acknowledging a lot of the bad going on everywhere. (quotes a lot of the piece from @radleybalko.bsky.social that I shared yesterday from the NYT)

Since 9/11, Fear Has Driven Our Politics. Don’t Let It Drive The Next 25 Years.
Twenty-five years ago today I was woken up by a phone call from a close friend, who, like me, grew up in New York and, like me, was now living in California. She told me that something horrible had happened in New York and to turn on the TV. She said something about a plane...

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT. Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them. We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person. Well here we are.

The idea that classrooms are chiefly spaces for product testing, and that it is irresponsible pedagogy not to enforce this, is both cynical and vile, and “fuck off” is a cogent response from any professional educator to any non-teaching salescreep or tech-but-not-subject-matter expert who voices it.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

The huge publicity in NYC from media-amplified whining wealthy homeowners with second homes saying they are middle class victims of the pied a terre tax makes 3/4ths of this city eye roll and identify with the Mayor and his agenda. He looks hard core, standing up to powers that be.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.
