Recently, Meta announced that it would be turning to AI to assess risks of new products and features. This is a move by Meta to offload its responsibility to its users by using “AI” as cover.

Meta plans to replace humans with AI to assess privacy and societal risks
Current and former Meta employees fear the new automation push comes at the cost of allowing AI to make tricky determinations about how Meta's apps could lead to real world harm.

I’m pretty grossed out that @burningman.org is still using Twitter to report traffic and gate times while their account here is totally inactive.

Well, dammit, Bill Moyers. Godspeed to you, and thank you for everything you brought to the medium.

Your conversations with Joseph Campbell reconfigured my mind in a way few other ideas and dialogues have.

One cannot help but wonder if the Curia will go the same way so many other bodies politic have in response to a liberal leader. That is to say, can we expect the next pope to be an arch-conservative? Even if Francis softened the College of Cardinals, alliances can be awfully powerful.

Since Cory Booker is rightfully getting a lot of positive attention I just want to add that he has very consistently been one of the only high-level politicians who actually cares about good drug policy and cares about hearing from people with lived experience in addition to other experts.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Let's be super clear that the REASON they used Signal was to set disappearing messages.

They are intentionally violating federal record-keeping laws.

Kay Graham would not have believed this could happen in America.
Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

I knew episode 8 of The Pitt was rough – I'd heard the buzz – but in no way was I prepared to sob for 20 minutes AFTER it ended.

I think my whole body released a week's worth of sadness.
