This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

In Judaism we believe that truly righteous pass on Yom Kippur. I can't think of a more well lived life than Jane Goodall. I was heartbroken and cried when I learned of her passing personally she has been guidepost for my life as so many others. May Her Memory forever be for a revolution and blessing

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Political candidates are NOT “all the same.”
One might be disappointing, or even a truly awful leader, but another might be a nightmare-level dystopian apocalypse that destroys democracy, the rule of law, the very notion of facts and reality, every established human right, & the entire world order.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*
Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when
An LLM just generates text

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
