If you don't kick Nazis out of your bar, it turns into a Nazi bar. That's a good form of gatekeeping. Kick bigots out

This is both marketing hype and cutting off one strategy to break AI guardrails.

With AI, the need for humans to write and edit copy is a thig of the past.

Congratulations to Francis Halzen on winning the Nobel Prize in physics. In addition to his research, Dr. Halzen is also a committed animal advocate, bringing one of the sled dogs with him all the way from his antarctic research station to accept the prize.

Just a reminder that the Nobel Prize for economics isn't an actual Nobel Prize, it's the the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Economists got sad they weren't deemed worthy of recognition so they made up their own.

Once again, the Nobel prizes have been given to a bunch of nerds while all the recent advances that jocks have made in football go unrecognised 😞

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

Arienne Childrey resigns as Vice Chair of the Ohio Democratic Pride Caucus. The state party has censored all attempts to criticize Amy Acton and Marcy Kaptur for their anti-trans votes and/or statements.

The thing is, if everyone was kung fu fighting instead, shit wouldn’t be so bad

gawd i wish we would stop listening to and giving respectability to charlatans and dipshits

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

It is free and easy to show up for trans kids. Not just here, but in real life.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

I’m starting to confuse GLP and GPT

This book will fuck you up. 5 stars

Has anyone checked to see if Michael Schur is writing George Santos's life?

It is definitely time for a generational change, but I'm glad Markey beat the bigot. Hopefully next term he will be succeeded by someone who isn't almost as old as air travel

Everyone thinks of Bill Maher as an old, snide, unfunny hack, which is true, but everyone forgets that at the start of his career he was something quite different: a young, snide, unfunny hack.

If you're not using asbestos yet, you are being left behind. Everyone is using asbestos, there's no point in trying to fight it. Asbestos is the future.

one piece of advice i can share as a parent: certain phases can be really tough, but they do pass. around 18 months my son kept demanding that i condemn hasan piker. all day and night too, i was at the end of my rope. now he’s really into fire trucks. it’s always something new

Mysteries for Modern Times

I am physically sick struggling to explain this Natalie business to my son’s Bayler & Kryss. They saw Bret Ratner’s superb “Melania” doc opening night with friends & have been inspired for years by the First Couple’s enduring love. Is it all a lie??? What do I do?? @support

The usual excuse behind the rush to build these data centers is "we can't let China get ahead of us". But we seem to have no problem letting China lap us when it comes to renewable energy. Odd, ain't it?

I don't believe in intellectual property, but I recognize that under capitalism it's necessary for artists to be paid for their labor. I'm fine with anyone pulling from the well of culture. I hate AI because it pollutes the well with an endless stream of garbage that ruins cultural spaces.
