Love this. Yes, everyone should get access to the joy of the arts, whatever that means to you…
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Yes to seeing Lina Khan involved in running my old city! 💪 Such an impressive person!
Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort, he said on Wednesday. nyti.ms/4nHdyOP

On Oct. 3, Cady's crush, Aaron, asked her what day it was. Now, it’s come to be known as Mean Girls Day among the movie’s fans.

![Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.
“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlnirjwff4ibiw3wchmleszo/bafkreiac2szurc5dnw6klquhpjmo7iafg4n6fwmrqyred7jrrph6h6mptq@jpeg)

Hard agree. Thinking of adding a “not written by AI” label to my emails to offset suspicion of my use of em-dashes and tendency to use bolster 🤣
All of these words are entirely normal except groundbreak!!! What is happening, stop taking my words away, you meticulous freaks
This is "em-dash tell" all over again. SOME OF US USE THESE WORDS.

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

A recent report spells out a chilling scenario in which “superintelligent” A.I. systems either dominate or exterminate the human race by 2030. Another claims that A.I. technology will remain “normal.” How can researchers hold such disparate views?
Two Paths for A.I.
The technology is complicated, but our choices are simple: we can remain passive, or assert control.

Not in my 30’s anymore, but this was the standout sketch from SNL this weekend for me (although the ferry skit was a close second).
Last night’s “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Quinta Brunson, envisioned the perfect fashion brand for anxious Millennial women: “Forever 31.” Read more from Esther Zuckerman:

The guest host Quinta Brunson was the perfect fit to introduce “Forever 31.”
