the Internet exposes you to all kinds of people

“damn these emotionally stunted, psychologically broken guys are REALLY cool”

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

2) is...is it happening?

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

I need to write about this, but I've been telling people that one reason I still feel somewhat optimistic about the future is that, as a high school teacher, I get a good ground-floor view of just how cooked these monsters are. In terms of preventing cultural changes, they've already lost. 1/

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

And notably, in the case of GPT-J, we DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS DOING THIS until 3.5 years after the model was released!

We did not tell LLMs, “implement addition using this algorithm.” It learned the algorithm upstream of next-token prediction

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

AOC of course got started with this approach years ago, using her Instagram lives as a classroom on the broader political process and specific issues of the day

Mamdani takes deep into the campaign, making voters more effective advocates for the policies and values that make life better

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 1d

A striking theme of Mamdani’s candidacy is his abiding respect for the intelligence of voters

His willingness to teach, explain, and expand the context of the political conversation is something I’ve been desperate to see from politicians

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In 2020 I got a split keyboard, the Moonlander by ZSA

It took about two weeks to learn touch typing, doing thirty minute sessions after work

Zero wrist pain since.

I just found an old wrist brace and realized I hadn’t touched it in five years. Throwing it out

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 1d

Get a good keyboard.

I started working full-time at a desk with daily typing in 2005, after a childhood with loads of computer use

By 2013 I started having occasional flares of wrist pain that I could only heal my immobilizing my wrist. That continued episodically for that whole decade.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025

There’s definitely the limits of the period technology at play

but if you get past that, like with the CG, you see so much love and care put into it. A completely unique, distinctive personality

and the hugely consequential beats in the multi-season arc are always really well cared for
