Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

It's also funny because they are whining about women judging them for their political opinions — while judging women on their political opinions.
These guys never bother to ask why women don't want Trumpers. They just assume it's virtue signaling. The MAGA movement worships a rapist and has destroyed abortion rights, with their sights set on the rights to BC, divorce and voting next. Trumpers are not safe for us to be with.

Wild to me that anyone treated Antonin Scalia's opposition to affirmative action as sincere or intellectually honest, when all anyone did at his Supreme Court confirmation hearings was gush about how meaningful it was to FINALLY have an Italian American justice
Antonin Scalia Was a Diversity Hire
The late justice spent his career ridiculing the notion that elite institutions had any interest in diversity. He might not have made the Supreme Court without it.

I think present-day politics makes a lot more sense if we acknowledge that constant interactions on social media can rapidly evolve someone’s perception of reality and their political beliefs, as they try to conform with the vast, unregulated, malformed parasocial mob

"I'm canceled," he says in the sleek profile they gave to him in the New Yorker while his latest special & his new novel is coming out. A lot of people wish they were that canceled.
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

Right. This is normally a prelude to imminent war. But no one knows if the us president is serious or had a bad breakfast or is making an insane joke or had a stroke or whatever.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.
Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 over 2024 year-to-date to Oct 20.

The story that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere.

Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

Poll after poll shows corruption is THE issue voters care about. And Jeffries goes out of his way to praise Adams, whose public corruption charges were dropped after Trump’s DOJ unceremoniously shut the case down?

Democrats have the winning hand right in front of them. Wild that they won’t play it.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

We must end the scourge of gun violence in America.

We also need to have honest conversations about the ways internet platforms profit from fear, hatred, and division.

Both are vital to the future of this country.

Jeffries and Schumer are "leaders" in name only. The actual leaders of the Democratic party are Pritzker and Mamdani.
Wow — official DNC account boosts a clip of Zohran Mamdani saying he welcomes people to join his movement while Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have both still not endorsed the Democratic nominee:
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: We welcome anyone to join this movement.
