“People laugh at AI girlfriends and how dystopian that seems but online porn, oh that’s natural, normal, healthy. We forget that dystopia has already arrived. Yes, AI girlfriends and sexbots are terrifying but my generation is already primed for those.” -Freya India

Checked out the super low tides today at Alki. Saw the Luna Park pier pilings, found a starfish, messed around with a geoduck. Good god I love this city. #seattle

I want there to be a word for the feeling that happens when you were an early fan of a band who makes it. I could just scream watching #Pavement on #TheLateShow with #StephenColbert. If you could wear out CDs, I would have melted the Spit on a Stranger EP 20 years ago. #indiemusic #Pavements

Nothing in the engineer's background suggests any special expertise relevant to his new role.

So proud to have this kind of representation 🥲

No matter what illegal stunts Trump, Musk, and the other billionaires in this administration pull, that won’t change.

I’m here, right alongside you, fighting back to defend our democracy.
