Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

AI acts like a slot machine bc it doesn't use formal descriptive systems to specify outputs.
If you have an idea for a program and you write the code, it does what you wanted, or it doesn't, and then you fix it, or you don't. It is deterministic; if you wrote it correctly, it works, repeatedly

a little emotional lift for today :-)
I am married to a Brazilian and can confirm that they have an almost supernatural ability to carry a grudge in silence for decades knowing that one day they will triumphantly dance on the emotional grave of their enemy and/or husband. It’s super hot.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Stop taking madness out of your equation when you talk about homelessness. It's very transparent to us. You have no solidarity with the mad in any aspect of your life & the only way you can feel sorry for a homeless person is if you think they're "normal" like you.

My single best advice for promoting your own music is to find people who make music you like and listen and boost it. You’ll hear some good tunes and I promise it will lead to folks checking out your stuff too. It’s so much easier when we act like a community instead of a flea market.
Oh! A big one! I long ago accepted, and EMBRACED, that my audience was mostly other musicians.
There are SO MANY of us... and we're all obsessive about music, so why not embrace them?
Those 50k other artists releasing songs on any given day? That's not your competition -- it's your audience!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

The NYT *equates itself* with the New York Post as it platforms and amplifies conspiracy theories it *knows* are false.
So, why do you still subscribe to it?

"And so, after consulting with friends a little more media-seasoned than I, and exchanging some emails with the reporter laying out what I was and wasn’t interested in speaking about, I agreed to an interview. I did this because, in ways you might think I’d have outgrown by now, I’m a fucking idiot"

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk
the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight
but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting
