1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.
Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Infatuated with Albuquerque’s free bus system, @abqride.bsky.social. Maybe I got lucky, but it was as quick to get a bus from the airport as a Lyft and then a transfer to Old Town. Best public transit experience I’ve had in ages!

Landed in Albuquerque, saw a toe sock in a flip-flop under a bathroom stall. What does this portend?

What if I have absolutely nothing to say? I remember when I wrote Twitter off as merely a disembodied AIM status message and I may not have been wrong.
