This year for Halloween, I’m dressing up as someone who lives in a functional democracy.

(Too soon?😬)

I got mine!

The situation at Kennedy Center is an extreme version, but this way of thinking has been killing the performing arts for decades. Generating revenue is not the only definition of having value. Running arts orgs like for profit businesses will be the end of the performing arts.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The list of reasons I’m glad to have deleted my X account grows longer each day.

I mean, yes. We all remember that SCOTUS gave him a free pass to do absolutely anything without consequence, right?

So, what did I do on my “day off”? Quality time with the misfit toys…
🎺🎺🎺🎺

Please don’t echo the bogus “changes course” lie.

We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street.

New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

Dear @nytimes.com , There is 0% chance that this is a change of course. You don’t demolish a building on a whim. This was obviously the plan all along. They lied to you, you lapped it up, repeated it, & now are covering it up for them.

A new reason to hate Spotify. I’m considering signing up just so I can immediately cancel.

No Kings Harlem, NYC. @bobbielynn.bsky.social & I were bummed that we couldn’t make it to the big event downtown, but the vibe in Harlem was great. Great community. Great energy. No Kings.

#NoKings

Looks like it’s time to dust off my signs. I hope to see many of you out there at the protests tomorrow. We need to make a statement of solidarity. Huge numbers. PEACEFUL protest. Raise our voices to restore and protect the once great ideals of our country.

Hi @alexhorne.bsky.social @taskmaster.tv! My amazing wife @bobbielynn.bsky.social made a homemade Taskmaster game for my birthday…for the second time! We love the show, & it was such fun to play the (unofficial) home game! So many great tasks, and ducks…so many ducks! Thanks for inspiring the fun!

So, we need a copy editor to take a look at your post. That is every kind of wrong grammar. 🤦‍♂️

They definitely need to change the official term to zoomies!

A student of mine is sick with COVID…again. He wants to feel better so he can play trumpet.❤️🎺

Stupid virus. 😡🦠

The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

My friend, Andrew Henderson, is performing a recital in celebration of 20 yrs service at Madison Ave Presbyterian Church, & I’m honored to be invited to make a cameo. Here's a preview from today's rehearsal! The wonderful Jorge Avila will be performing, too.

Student QOTD:

“I don’t like thinking.”

Well, at least they’re honest!

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

I think I just saw one of these in my Bronx neighborhood!

Thank you for speaking out and taking action. I’m sorry it was necessary.

Isn’t the real story here: US government officials use unsecured public network in hotel business center

I mean leaving the docs on the printer is bad - though makes for a better punchline - but I think rather misses the point.

Those red lentils…mmmmmm😋

I thought it was just me!
