A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism, y'all!
Last night's evidence:
1. North America Nebula (1 hour)
2. Andromeda (20 min)
3. Pac-Man Nebula (15 min)
The universe is basically just hydrogen, dark matter, and dark energy. Plus trillions upon trillions of perturbations lol

This format is incredibly helpful for reframing debates. It's also pragmatics 101. Negation only operates on the "comment"/focused part of an utterance. If you introduce a presupposition, negation will not be able to eliminate it.
Example:
A: Have you stopped stealing office supplies?
B: Yes/No?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Last night’s dinner with Trump and Big Tech wasn’t a policy meeting. It was basically 'The Bachelor,' except instead of roses, the prize was the president’s approval.

Where's the accountability? This isn't the first instance.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.

Stealing text from books written by PhDs and using probability-based algorithms to scramble that text up to make answers that *sound* *like* a person with a PhD answered them is not in fact PhD-level intelligence or expertise. It does tell us something about the people selling and using this slop
OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”
OpenAI releases GPT-5, calling it a ‘team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket’

The reason it’s so powerful is that it turns /your body/ into the factory that makes the drug. It’s so exciting that the US not working on it will be seen as one of the biggest self-owns in history.

James Gunn's Superman is such a great time. Corenswet and Brosnahan have delightful chemistry, Hoult is a compelling Lex, and Gunn's blend of humor + clear comics love is wielded fantastically. I wanted more Daily Planet crew, but Krypto remains the bestest boy who has never done anything wrong.
