I'm also surprised (in a good way!) he dropped this at this point in the campaign. He probably could have just kept his head down and coasted to an easy victory over Cuomo.

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.

The Federalist Papers don't have a single colorful chart or picture of Trump. Sad!

Trump Shows Off His Own Circle of Hell

I’m the first guy to get a whole circle, it’s terrific. They evicted the Kennedys to put it in. Nobody, and I mean nobody else, has this much abyss...

Every time I hear about LLMs becoming sentient, I consider founding an "AI startup" that's just running ELIZA behind the scenes.

LLMs are capable of certain forms of introspection and have really good theory of mind. They have increasing levels of situational awareness (which is making it difficult to test them because they know they’re being tested!) I personally don’t think they’re conscious but it’s not a settled question.

the CEO of this site is trolling us because we asked for a transphobe -- someone who has done real harm to us -- to be removed from her platform.

this sends a message to bad actors: not only will bluesky shield you, leadership will laugh about it.

@jay.bsky.team needs to go. this is unsafe shit.

The lyrics to this song are SUPER problematic and rapey. It's a damn shame it's just a catchy tune.
