A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I continue to believe that the biggest problem with the United States is that our reaction to injustice is to ask "how is this allowed?" instead of "why are we allowing this?"
The first is waiting for a superhero to come and save us. The second is us resolving to join together and save ourselves.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The main things LLMs are "good" for (spam, plagiarism, propaganda, catfishing, disinformation, impersonation, epistemic rupture) are bullshit things that should not be done at all, much less automated to be done at scale.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.
I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
