Persuasion was one of many lib pubs come latelies in 2020 or so, three years after @liberalcurrents.com launched. They launched with a big splash at the time, plus Mounk himself had a long stint writing at The Atlantic. We can do better than this, help us do so www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Contemplating writing a standalone, open source tool for managing verifications to make the role of being a trusted verifier account simpler.

Weird looking through a list of examples of a particular type of chart and one of them is a graphic that you yourself worked on

Binged all of Heated Rivalry in one sitting, it's absolutely excellent.

Fascinating:
The report notes that attributing staff reductions to AI adoption “conveys a more positive message to investors” than admitting to traditional business failures, such as weak consumer demand or “excessive hiring in the past.”

I’m counting a solid 70+ UK MPs who got blue check verified in the last 4 hours.
Are talks of an X ban in the UK getting serious? Prep in progress?

I've had an awful cold the last two days and didn't get out of bed until like 4 pm today, which is really not helping my day-to-day insomnia. It's 5 am and I desperately want to go to sleep but my internal clock is just totally broken rn.

Sorry for the earnestposting; this week has been rough. That Charlie Chaplin monologue posted earlier today hit me really hard and made me realise I needed to get some feelings off my chest. 💚
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Been thinking a lot about something one of my exes told me, after we broke up. She was my last "straight" relationship; we got along well enough but I just couldn't pretend I was a cishet man anymore. She was one of the first people I came out to; we stayed in contact for years after.

Two episodes into "Landman", I can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that my next career will not be in oil & gas.

I've released a new AT Protocol service called “KAKU TOKIMEKI (カクトキメキ)”!
It's a service that lets you communicate through illustrations using its built-in drawing tools.
It features drawing chat functions like “PictoChat,” request and collection features, and more!!

it's kind of like if they did interviews with a ouija board and used that as a representative of hasbro
It’s legitimately amazing how using a chatbot UI for your LLM has successfully gaslit whole swathes of the media into treating it as a verified source for news about itself.
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼
