“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.”

I already took Netflix's documentaries with a grain of salt, but just got jumpscared by them GenAi-ing two of the interviewees in what they called "digitally anonymizing" them.
the feedback systems sent me in circles and eventually connected with a person who sounded more Ai than usual, so, FUN

the thing is that there are lots of modest, tedious, repetitive tasks in many of our jobs and lives where we might be happy to pay a fee for an ethically developed standalone tool to do only that task. but we can’t have that because it won’t make people rich enough
Every time I try to question my kneejerk skepticism on LLMs because they seem like they might have some potentially interesting use cases, some company shoves them into a product I use all the time, and it absolutely sucks shit.

So, I do a thing at work where I’m an interviewer from outside the immediate teams that the job opening is on, to counteract the potential bias in favor of hiring because they need a warm body in that spot, and the one quality I’ve come to the conclusion can’t be coached into existence is curiosity.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts
ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her
ChatGPT sent screenwriter Micky Small down a fantastical rabbit hole. Now, she's finding her way out.

I will just say that we are currently collecting our quiet whistles & misprints & disasters to send to my mother, a Minneapolis artist who does assemblage sculptures, because it does feel like this would be a really fun way to recycle the misprints & memorialize this moment. 💓
Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles
We have favorite whistles now. I never could have imagined.

thinking about how some criticisms stated the "nice guy" portrayals were over the top & I'm reminded of how at a party a few years back a dude I didn't know put his arm around me, was shocked when I removed it, & spent the rest of the night trying to convince me he "wasn't a creep or anything"

Folks who travel:
Looking for recs on a sturdy, reliable, personal item bag for flying.
14"x18"x8"
I rarely ever get carry-on and looking to travel very light for my next few trips.
Tired of a bully backpack. Maybe a duffel? Leather?
What do you recommend?

I grew up in New England, my grandparents lived in Maine, I was a camp counselor in Maine… Maine, we gotta have words over Susan Collins, I’m sorry
A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.
Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

Your bosses can say you’re getting a raise and the raise is ten cents.
People who disregard the Gini Index of the last four decades, and ignore the cost of living, are ignoring that poor people know that they are poor because they’re suffering,
and will look to who to blame cuz they want change.

Stagnation doesn’t just include the last five years.
Like think of this as people and their income over a lifetime.
The last four decades are lives lived.
When I talk to leftist and swing voters, I tell them under Biden our economy was healing, but the poor were still ridiculously poor.

But we didn't have economic stagnation for the working class. We had a period of unusually *high* wage growth for low income workers.

Not the flex you think it is.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

It’s not just Schumer of course, I mean any Democrat who is still trying to negotiate away what their voters - and most people in this country - want, in favor of what they, their donors, and Republicans want. It’s a shit relationship, and it needs to die.

One of, if not the most, important thing you can do in electoral politics is get involved in the primaries against these fools
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

So Favorite Person and I are making jokes about swaps folks make in DA fanfic (French braid/Orlesian braid), and somehow decided that the Chasind would have The Most Aussie accent...which has resulted in 'Steve Irwin if he was a Grey Warden talking about darkspawn'.
We are *crying* with laughter.

Because most of the gasping responses to the Epstein revelations just seem to say
“I’m okay with supporting racism and misogyny ( if it exempted me)
As long as it was “organic””
