Νικώμεν! A more than a decade long ambition was achieved today as I ran in and completed THE Marathon (so-called Athens Authentic Marathon). It was my first (and probably only) - such a great, if quite challenging, experience! And Athens in November is perfect.
1 year ago today! The culmination of an almost 15 year journey, I completed the Authentic Athens Marathon!
I took this year off, but I’m planning on going back next fall…

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Two weeks ago Trump pardoned a guy who laundered money for [checks notes] drug smugglers and Hamas militants.
I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

As we protest statues that glorify racist ideology, we also need to think about the things that ended up inside of museums because of assumptions about white superiority. Here's one story - of meteorites, pandemic, and Minik, the boy who lost his parents and his whole world.
