This funny thing happens to me after a few days in france. The monologue in my brain is still in English, but it has a French accent. Do other non-native french speakers have this experience? I'm so curious about why it happens!

Is there a word to describe the very specific feeling of realizing that I didn’t *actually* cancel my Audible subscription 18 months ago when I thought I did?

Has watching the #australianopen on @espn.com been awful for anyone else? It keeps changing midpoint to a screen that says “your match will start soon” while mid match 🤪

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products.

Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

As I reflect more on my partner's recent swearing-in at the Supreme Court, I'm reminded of the importance of visibility in the workplace. When I first started at @hf.co almost three years ago, I was the only nonbinary person and the only person to use they/them pronouns.

Over Thanksgiving, my dad, who admittedly, has come a long way from his socially conservative upbringing, was complaining about how he “no longer sees himself represented” in baseball “these days because there are no longer and white players.” Just looked it up. ~60% of MLB players are white.

I only made sides this year. And just for me and my partner. Sourdough bread, cranberry sauce, sour cream and onion mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts and apple salad, creamed kale, and mushroom gravy. I’m still exhausted 🥱

The best path forward in AI requires technologists to be reflective/self-critical about how their work impacts society. Transparency helps this.

I've removed the Bluesky data from the repo. While I wanted to support tool development for the platform, I recognize this approach violated principles of transparency and consent in data collection. I apologize for this mistake.

Good move by @danielvanstrien.bsky.social to apologize & remove the dataset IMO. Let's find ways to fight concentration of power in the hands of proprietary/commercial actors (who are certainly using all the public data they can find w/o telling you) while also fostering consent & attribution.

I somehow thought it would be a good idea to go to Costco on the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. I panicked and only came home with this:

A giant bag of baby spinach and kale, on the counter with two containers of Nutella, and two giant containers of peanut butter.
