PSA: If you're going to a protest (or any event, tbh) & are considering wearing a flag as a cape, pleasepleasePLEASE don't tie it around your neck!
Grab a couple of binder clips like these & clip it to your shirt/jacket, & make sure that it'll come off if someone grabs it.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

As some of you know, for 4 years I've been working on a book about the last 80 years of popular culture as a flashpoint for the gay rights struggle. Sometimes I've wondered who it's for. Then yesterday a young gay man, maybe 23, asked me if Stonewall happened because everyone was in NYC for Pride. >

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Why do some people think their actions and impacts come with a virtual "memo line" for their intent that somehow exonerates them? Whether you're voting for Trump and then saying you "didn't vote to deport moms", or defending anyone continuing to buy Harry Potter merchandise: there is no memo line!

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

What happened to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is not just about CTV caving to Conservative pressures. There’s a larger issue: #cdnmedia are pushing out any female voices, voices of colour and Indigenous voices that aren’t centre-right or right. Even then there is very little representation

Droplet dogmatists deny that COVID is an airborne contagion for similar reasons why miasmatists once denied cholera is waterborne. If spread by droplets, then mitigation can be decentralised and passed on to “individual responsibility”.
