I’ve been up to something really exciting in recent months—launching a worker-run local news outlet in DC!! News cooperatives are a bright spot in a bleak media (and everything?) landscape & we need them more than ever. Read about our crowdfunding launch in The Washington Post t.co/R1s2UOmJfO

Former DCist staff launch the 51st, new local news site for Washingtont.co The 51st is a worker-run newsroom that will attempt to fill a niche its founders say opened when WAMU closed DCist.

Yes but what if my TV sound bar breaks, and I buy a new one, and the new one requires RCA cables but doesn't come with any in the box? Then I'll be a hero in my household

lol so i talked to sam altman and arianna huffington about their proposed ai health coach venture (vaporware) and they couldn’t even tell me if it would be an app or not. so i ended up writing about how ai is a faith-based technology www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

AI Has Become a Technology of Faithwww.theatlantic.com Sam Altman and Arianna Huffington told me that they believe generative AI can help millions of suffering people. I’m not so sure.

I'm back to announce that I have finally seen a cybertruck in the wild. It was matte black (to protect it from rusting?). It was gigantic and hideous and I was embarrassed to be in its presence

As a WIP, this is what I needed to hear. Thank you

The writer describes fans of the Spice Girls as "intellectually challenged" and fans of Swift as having the "intellect of a worm." The writer's argument is indistinguishable from any other old person lamenting that "they don't make [thing] like they used to." Good music doesn't need to be "smart"

"Admittedly the intellectually challenged of my generation also embraced Take That and the Spice Girls..." What was so bad about the Spice Girls? Pop music doesn't need to be deep or complex for it to be fun and entertaining. It doesn't have to be "challenging" to be good.

Who do you think AI models steal all their photos from?

I think people have different perspectives on the purpose of reading literature. Children read abridged classics to spark a love of reading. Other readers read the original text to engage with the work of art. Even in English class, the focus is not on the plot but on the writing style itself

tweeted this four years ago and it pretty much sums up my feelings on this shit

It would be irresponsible for them to give you a "score" without any kind of follow up discussion. You deserve to understand what they mean, what specific examples they can give, and what they want you to do differently

I saw the AI images with the messed up hands and decided not to click on the link.

Start every lecture with, "Here's something not taught in the bible!"

Why is he describing the ten commandments as separate from the bible? I guess Christian nationalism doesn't require knowledge of Christianity any more, never mind the Constitution

Thank you for your service. The only archive I ever built was of bachelor frog memes

AIPAC spent $15 million on this because Democratic voters don’t agree with them on Israel. If the voters were with them, they wouldn’t have to spend millions imposing their views on the party. AIPAC opposes democracy in the US, in Israel, and in Palestine.

Over in New York, George Latimer leads progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman 54–46% with 29% of the estimated vote counted in the #NY16 Democratic primary. This was the most expensive congressional primary in history with $20M+ spent.
