Here's something I wrote about "unconventional" carbon credits, making the world's first (??) income-based carbon footprint calculator, and trying to determine the avoided emissions benefit of Brian Thompson's homicide.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month:

“.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”
Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.
Cornell Reaches Deal with Trump Administration to Restore Research Funds
The Ivy League university had warned of layoffs after the Trump administration stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher education.

Welp, I finally made it. My new video on The Museum of Anything Goes is out. I talk about this pretty obscure piece of 90s multimedia that was among the first to blur that thin line between art, games, VR museum and uh... Twin Peaks?

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

We do not leave anyone behind, & certainly not those of us most under attack. We do not get where we want to go by letting anyone drown, not for a moment. You do not offer up targeted groups for "rights but later" unless you think they are not The People.

If your willingness to bargain with others’ rights for your own comfort makes you feeling unwelcome in your party, that’s because you’re a fascist :) :) :)
2. After race after race was called, Dems won by wide margins in contests where anti-trans rhetoric dominated. For all the centrist consultants urging Democrats to “moderate” or sacrifice trans people, the results suggest the opposite: conviction, is what wins.
