Never used it, never looked at it, never will. I turn off AI results in browsers and everything else whenever I can.
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)
Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Truly great New Yorker article in spite of the title.

Note that it was only 13 years ago that the New Yorker valued women so little, its male:female bylines always skewed male, often by a lot. archive.ph/meTqX

What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

This is a great article:

"What these pundits are nudging us to do, ever so politely, is accept that women, in the main, are accustomed to being a little degraded, a little underpaid and ignored and dampened in their ambitions, in ways that men are not and never will be..."

The extent to which shitty centrist journalism rests on the same thing as Trump, the never-identified "some people say, everyone says" etc. including "critics say" here is a zombie move, lifeless yet vengeful.

A federal court has just ordered Donald Trump to keep funding SNAP through the end of the month. So take a deep breath, liberals. Feel a little silly now?

Watson was one of those overly glorified scientific thugs who said Black people are less intelligent.

I know all about him. I spent years studying Linus Pauling's work.

He and Watson were big DNA rivals, and if it weren't for Pauling, Watson & Crick would have never solved the structure of DNA.

James Watson's legacy is really very simple. This is not a case of a John Lennon type complicated legacy, where you say "great musician, but a shitty person". No, Watson was just a shitty person who was in the right place at the right time. I can't think of anything celebratory about that

So James Watson died, and it's interesting observing the Nazis eulogise and lionize him. There's the standard stuff about his racism and sexism and "cancellation" making him a hero. Then there's the labelling of Watson as a "genius". Genius? Haha

I never met Watson. But he gave a public seminar at my undergrad. Don't remember the talk but do remember the incredibly disturbing and degrading misogynistic comments he made at the female biology majors given the honor to meet him.

A real piece of shit! World class.

James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, has died. tinyurl.com/j7cau27e

I met him when we were part of a panel discussion on how to improve the portrayal of scientists in TV & in film. I remember most his very dead-fish handshake.

He really didn't like women in science. 📰🧪

James Watson, the sexist racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s ground breaking research on DNA, created his own (sadly widely believed) genius mythology with a popular book, is dead.
In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

None of this is going to happen and the halal carts in nyc are already there and amazing, but this is the id of MAGA politics, "we can won so we can force everyone to do what we want" projected onto people who don't think that and wouldn't try. bsky.app/profile/stac...

This is a stunning political realignment--Mamdani lost Jews, Catholics, and Protestants but won by sweeping "Other" and "None."

As a Jewish voter in the 33% I hope my neighbors (literally) in the 63%, who were flooded with dishonest mailers, social media, and texts, will now keep an open mind.

It's getting harder to think of things that antisemites allege Jews do that aren't also things that Elon Musk and his tech bro friends actually do.

As racist responses to Mamdani's win emerge on social platforms, consider not sharing the actual posts.

Our Muslim siblings don't need to see that bullshit every time they scroll, & we can just call out the people saying those things as racist fools, & stay focused on our joy over his win 🥰

It's the Bari Weiss CBS. Forget the tough questions--not that they were ever really tough. But now its just giving him the mic to blather
I tuned in to the @60minutes Trump interview with low expectations, and I haven’t bern surprised. Norah let Trump lie and lie with barely any pushback or provision of corrective facts. Where is the Aussie guy from @axios when we need him?

Sympathy for former prince and the royal family.

Nothing about the women brutally assaulted.
Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

Okay reporters, this has been going on for years, and you just let it pass.

Why not have a video of the exchange on your phone and make Mike Johnson (or whoever) listen to it?

Ramp up the volume. Play it loud. Do not let them say they hadn’t seen/heard it.
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
