Taking a break from the office building where everyone is currently absent, sniffling, coughing, or hoarse 😩 #MaskUp I unmask in my car to eat and drink to avoid catching viruses. I am lucky I get to do this and grateful to have avoided infections as a chronically ill person.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I hope all the people thrusting mamdani onto a pedestal can begin to understand why people in other nations love and admire Mao, Fidel, Lenin, etc. ... actual revolutionary leaders who are still denounced as "dictators" "cults of personality" etc

There is a weird disconnect in people's brain when they call Trump a fascist like Hitler in one moment and then praise a person who shook his hand and laughed with him in the next.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

Mainstream journalists are mostly class traitors
i find it so off-putting when you watch journalists interviewing politicians and you can tell they’re friendly, all in a big club that doesn’t serve the public’s interests. access journalism is the opposite of accountability journalism.
