I am heartbroken to hear of the death of Catherine O'Hara. What an extraordinary talent. Offering condolences to her friends, family and in particular her sister Mary Margaret.
She is with the angels.

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science.

Separatism doesn’t lower the cost of living. It won’t help us build hospital beds or hire teachers.

Separatism only weakens us.


We cannot let it define our future.

Grok and other generative AI tools are exacerbating an issue that's occurred for several years on the web: Deepfake nudes of people created and shared with the express purpose of humiliating their subjects.
Grok’s leering AI images are the newest version of an old problem
Image-based abuse predates Elon Musk's latest sleazy bot, but AI is making it worse.
