A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

It is so essential for People In Charge to remember that, when it really comes down to brass tacks, they actually don’t have a CMS login

I am unstoppable unless there’s a minor inconvenience.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I think to enjoy parenting you have to be the kind of person who enjoys very long term, messy, vaguely defined projects with many phases and no guarantee of success (I do)

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

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.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Hey does anybody know what the fuck.

Hope is great but lately I think what’s more important and more anti fascist is having imagination

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info.

ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.

In order to write a book, you have to write a book.

But it was just so clear that this professor had only ever had sighted students. I was so taken aback that I was silent the rest of the discussion. I always wish I'd pushed back more. They were an otherwise great professor, which goes to show how ingrained that elitism around reading can be /end

My insights about the text were no longer valuable because I had read the book in a particular format. I had read the audiobook because I'd driven home that week to surprise my mom who was graduating nursing school, and it wasn't getting read otherwise. /2

Whenever there's chatter about whether audiobooks count as reading, I think about the professor I had in grad school who admonished me in the middle of a class discussion for sharing I had read the assignment that week (the always excellent We Have Always Lived in the Castle) via audiobook. /1

HOT TAKE:
Audio is the original storytelling medium, and text is a pale imitation. All this punctuation is trying its hardest to replicate the subtleties of speech in your mind as it would have been translated by voice, with only partial success.

Audiobooks are returning story to its true state.

You better believe I know what the blockchain is, I always have and always will
