Surprised that this remarkable investigation into how Netanyahu prolonged the war in Gaza — killing tens of 1000s of civilians — for his own benefit has not gotten more attention. So: gift link.

If you care about trans rights, now would be the time to call your conservative democratic senators (or any democratic senator for that matter) and tell them to filibuster Speaker Johnson’s title IX trans discrimination bill.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.
It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

To prevent online brain poisoning you should have to have some human interaction before you're allowed to post. If you quote a twitter screenshot you have to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. For every 10K followers you have to explain yourself to a classroom of middle schoolers.

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing.
I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤

-how much funding do you currently have

-how many teachers/nurses/therapists/writers/artists could be employed full time with that same amount of money
