![GQ: Congratulations on your big follow by Elon Musk, Caity. Were you aware of Elon Musk before he followed you?
Caity: I was aware of him in the sense that I am generally aware of all God's creatures, though whether I can identify their specific jobs is another story. Is he dating Miranda Kerr?
I think that's the Snapchat guy...
[10 minutes pass.]
Is that the end of the interview?
So Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, found himself in the crosshairs of Twitter today for not following any women. A few minutes after the news broke, he followed you. How does it feel to be the only woman he follows?
I've always considered myself one of the top women in the world,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4t2ziwnnescprzorvmrfduey/bafkreigfhaqgo7ugshfbgmdop4tshqqbu3xtj54olkxxvngy3wsgnor7he@jpeg)

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I thought this might happen, but dared not utter it.
1/ Eleven Dutch parties across the political spectrum from socialist to conservative have issued a joint appeal to a provincial government to build a memorial to Black American soldiers who died in World War II, to replace one removed from the Netherlands American Cemetery. ⬇️

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

In light of the Mamdani win, and the various racist smears, I'd been mulling over how bigotry is so easily disguised under the rubric of "propriety."
I might be convinced that these appeals are sometimes sincere, but even *in* sincerity they can be simple reification.

Kudos to the @seattletimes.com for spelling with diacritical marks used in the Hawaiian language, the ʻokina and the kahakō.
A few years ago, when I asked the NY Times to spell my affiliation as University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, they refused because it went against their style guide.

Why we're using this spelling of Hawaiʻi
You may notice a change in how we spell Hawaiʻi and other Native Hawaiian words at The Seattle Times. Here's why.

This type of number is just (to my mind) divorced from reality.

Thinking about how using consumer facing AI tools break longstanding computing aphorisms like DRY, or the robustness principle.
Working with AI tools is an endless process of restate, rephrase, refactor.
They're certainly liberal in what they accept, but they're mindless when it comes to output.

This is why law is bad, this is why law is good.
Judge will tell the jury, “The phrase ‘bodily harm’ as used in this sentence…carries the same meaning as injury in the next sentence.” The sentence at issue is the one defining “assault.”

In November 2024, Ansari was elected the Democratic freshman class president.
(361 Ansari chose to boycott Donald Trump's inauguration, choosing instead to attend a Martin Luther King Jr. Day March in Phoenix, in her district. 37) In April 2025, she joined a group of Democratic colleagues in the House in traveling to El Salvador to investigate the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

![Israel and Palestine [edit ]
Ansari had been endorsed by the political arm of the pro-Israel advocacy group Democratic Majority for Israel. [451 Ansari has endorsed continued U.S. military aid to Israel "without additional conditions",
", and has advocated for the expansion of
the Abraham Accords. 46) Ansari criticized a proposal by Senator Bernie Sanders that would block $20 billion in arm sales to Israel amid the Gaza war, arguing that
"this resolution will attempt to deprive Israel of the materials needed for deterrence and defense while also accomplishing nothing to improve the situation in Gaza."[47]
In January 2025, Ansari was among a minority of House Democrats to back legislation rebuking and sanctioning the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its officials over arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders. Ansari argued that the ICC's actions were inappropriate, stating that "As a liberal democracy with an independent judiciary, Israel has the responsibility of investigating allegations of wrongdoing".
