“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” – Dan Savage

Listened again recently and wanted to share this. One of my favorite pieces of modern electronic music.

Keep moving forward, don't give up.

To all my trans homies:
You are not alone, and you are loved.

Is ChatGPT-5 actually safer than ChatGPT-4o?

CCDH tested 120 prompts about self-harm, eating disorders & substance abuse on both models of ChatGPT.

Despite OpenAI's claims, we found that ChatGPT-5 gives more harmful responses (53%) than ChatGPT-4o (42%).

Check out our findings ⤵️

CCDH’s new research shows that OpenAI’s new “safer” version of ChatGPT actually could allow more harm.

Prisons We Choose to Live Inside

Perhaps it is not too much to say that in these violent times the kindest, wisest wish we have for the young must be: "We hope that your period of immersion in group lunacy, group self-righteousness, will not coincide with some period of your country's history when you can put your murderous and stupid ideas into practice. If you are lucky, you will emerge much enlarged by your experience of what you are capable of in the way of bigotry and intolerance. You will understand absolutely how sane people in periods of public insanity, can murder, destroy, lie, swear black is white."

One Piece is a comic about pirates and searching for treasure, published in a magazine aimed at teenage boys.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about
He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war: The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work. Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure. In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation. Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Friends, a few months ago I asked you all to share what your thoughts on what would improve the health of Americans for a project Defend Public Health was working on. You answered, and we listened.

Today, we released our report, Improving the Health of Americans together. You can read it here.

As an alternative to HHS Sec. Kennedy's flawed and dishonest "MAHA Report," Defend Public Health offers some key policies that would truly improve Americans’ health. This report is certainly not exhau...

s/o wh1bby and their page for reminding me of this; no idea why I didn't grab it until now. Advanced, high tech tune-up of a classic.
Additionally, I highly recommend all CFCF music.
This one is a free DL. Don't sleep

One of many awesome and unexpected tracks I heard via DJ Auria in Seattle. Look out for him on Kremwerk lineups and elsewhere. Dude has serious chops.

Posij, I remembered from Critical Records in 2015 and was surprised to hear something so slick and modern. Still got that weight. Crazy good.

I can't believe this track is free. That's actually insane.
Go DL / support this shit!! If you're a DJ there's no good reason to not have it; it transforms a room.

Miss "Lydia" shows us her screen with a temp of 97° at 11am while she works packing grapes in Bakersfield CA. The area is under an extreme heat warning meaning a high risk for heat illness especially among the elderly like herself, but she works out of necessity. #WeFeedYou #calor

For anyone that's received encouragement/support from me and valued it on some level, and wondered where it went, pls reach out. The world is overwhelming and my memory is not what I'd like it to be, but I'll never stop caring about the things and the people I believe in. Would love to hear from you

Don't let them convince you that anything about generative AI in its current form, with its current level of consumption, is the way forward for humanity. Say no.

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)?

Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts!

Look around you, and engage with the things that are tangible and present

Let go of the things that seek to hold you down or distract you, that possess no intent to reciprocate. The world in its depth is endless. There's no time for distractions that do not enrich.

I think that I won't - or at least, I will try not to ever forget today when I placed my hand on an old woman's shoulder, then thanked her for going out and speaking against hate for everyone. The sound of her soft and fragile but strong and reassuring "You're welcome" reverberates through my being.

I've spent a long time talking, thinking to myself - reasoning with myself, comforting myself - trying to find answers and a way forward. Things are going to change, slowly but surely. The path is there. This is a reminder for myself and anyone else that there is always hope. It's never too late.
