Every December, millions of families worldwide follow along as the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks Santa's journey across the globe. It is a tradition full of wonder, and this year we are excited to add a few new touches to help parents make the season feel even
more magical.
As part of the annual NORAD Tracks Santa program, OpenAl worked with NORAD to create three simple holiday tools within ChatGPT that parents and Christmas enthusiasts can use to bring extra joy into their homes. These are intuitive, fun, and easy ways to add something special to the celebrations.
These tools are included in NORAD's holiday activities on the www.NORADSanta.org website.

Book 8 - a fun and festive Christmas romance from @zoeyorkwrites.bsky.social

The book cover for The Ex-mas Breakup by author Zoe York. It shows a handsome white man looking straight ahead. His head is tilted slightly to his left and he’s giving a small smile. His hair is light brown, his eyes blue, and he has a beard. He’s wearing a green shirt and is showing off his forearms as he grabs the neckline of his shirt with both hands. The title is in white in the middle of the cover while the author’s name is at the bottom.

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer: A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea. That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity. Restrain it at your own peril.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

THIS IS BIG For non-academics who might not understand why: 1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house 2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

So let me get this right. Oracle says openai committed 300b for cloud storage. Oracle stock jumps 36% Oracle runs on Nvidia gpus. Has to buy billions in chips from Nvidia.
