I was skeptical at first but I think AI might have more of an impact on society than the Segway

"I'm a corporation here to privatize a public service." is a much scarier phrase than "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

One way to have LLMs more closely mimic intelligence is to have agents fire up a background process that, at 3AM, wakes itself up to flagellate itself over it's most stupid answer from the previous day

"Seattle is so liberal and they car about the environment!!!1!"

OK. @jamellebouie.net has a great takedown of our pundit class. Exhibit 1 is David Brooks. Guess what? Yale just hired him to teach undergrads. 1/ youtu.be/46tpqFxfomI?...

A friend of mine went to a hospital in France and didn't support a single private equity firm #socialism

Who would be the most pissed off with a Newsom / Ocasio-Cortez ticket?

The next four months until the election: Yes, Trump and his cronies are literally doing fascist stuff right now as we speak, but what if, in a hypothetical future, Mandami does something that seems socialist?

I realize responding to the LLM with a "no shit, Sherlock" is probably not a productive use of my time

This one is particularly good. Definitely worth a read even if you already knew most of this intellectually

Honestly that sofa fetish is the least wrong thing about J.D. Vance

The American city traffic engineers whose salaries you pay with your tax dollars will watch this video and tell you, to your face, that this is wrong because the car was damaged -- and the "correct" outcome is, the couple and their dog should be killed so the driver can get home for dinner on time.

i run every day for 20 mins. if i miss a day i add 20 mins on the next day. been an absolute game changer for me. tomorrow i'm supposed to run for 4 months.

Another asshole carbrain (BMW crossover driver, I think) attacked a friend of mine tonight. I wish I knew how to effectively respond in the future

537 butterfly ballots flapped their wings in Florida and I still think about that other timeline

Anyone posted that "Hillary the Hawk, Donald the Dove" headline from the @nytimes.com recently?

Reckless drivers are killing people without consequence across Baltimore. “I REALIZED THERE WAS A PAIR OF LEGS STICKING OUT OF HIS WINDSHIELD.” 500 dead in a decade. Excellent (heartbreaking) reporting from @baltimoremagazine.com www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/hist...

I'm only happy when it rains

Hey Baltimore friends: the forecast is for a bunch of freezing rain this afternoon. You are probably tempted to shovel some snow this morning, but it’s much easier to clean up snow with ice on top than ice on pavement. Just wait. Take care of the snow afterwards – it’s not going anywhere this week.

If Democrats ever take power again I guarantee @washingtonpost.com will treat the next "tan suit" controversy with more seriousness than they've treated the invasion of Venezuela and the ICE murders

My Bluesky feed is suddenly full of "this is all Kamala's fault" posts. Bots preparing to divide Democrats before the midterms?

You should be able to ask someone if their truck is for work or cosplay without them getting offended, right?

There's no passive aggressive "fuck you" quite like the the "you've been unsubscribed from this email" final email

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Is it true he used Markdown for this last one ? 😜

"Why do Fox/Sinclair watchers believe so many untrue things?" - the headline that will literally never appear on WaPo or NYT

ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

A vampire that's not Dracula

The Epstein Ballroom is going to be filled with Russian and Chinese bugs, right?

How safe do you feel on Baltimore’s streets? 🚶🚴🚗 We want to hear from you! The Baltimore Traffic Safety Survey is your chance to share your experiences and ideas for how we can make our roads safer for everyone.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Here is the really screwed up part that pisses me off as a Democrat. NOBODY is going to vote to say thank you, NOBODY. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Democrats will fight for this and get NOTHING OUT OF IT. In America today Democrats would electorally be better off letting Republicans do this.

Just a box containing some numbers that should make every single one of us re-evaluate what we choose to do for the rest of our lives.

Stop giving your time and attention to outlets owned by Sinclair. In Baltimore that means WBUF (Fox), WNUV (CW) and WUTB (Roar).

Perhaps the coolest thing I've learned from the rapidly-growing YIMBY tent -- the most carbon-efficient electric vehicle is one we've all used our whole lives: The elevator. Elevators not only move people under 100% electric power, they dramatically reduce pollution across the entire economy.

Someday there is going to be a journalist that manages to expose why all the other journalists decided that Murdoch and his business interests weren't news

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

Did Charles sacrifice himself in an attempt to distract from the Epstein files?

As a Democrat, is Newsom's week of positive press long enough for me to start attacking him?

Someone in comments (and now I can't find the actual comment, sorry) said the best Star Wars trilogy is now Andor, Rogue One and Star Wars Ep 4, and you know what, I'm here for that argument, call it the "Death Star Trilogy"

PBS: after 40 years of sane-washing Republicans we really, truly, desperately need donations from the audience we've been gaslighting that entire time

Man Relaxing His Overwhelming Anxiety For Just A Moment Finally Gives Pack Of Coyotes The Opening They Need theonion.com/man-rel...

My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social

The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too
