At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.

Al Overview Men in New York have done countless things throughout history, from building the city to participating in major events like the Stonewall riots and the September 11 attacks. Their actions have ranged from daily life and economic hardship during the Great Depression to playing significant roles in the city's political and social landscape, such as the assassination of Malcolm X or the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

tbh I think nostalgia is at a point where "lost adventures" from the Cold War period would do "boffo box office numbers"

No one wants to watch a spy thriller set today; the world is too depressing (and yes, I'm saying that as someone who came up under the constant threat of nuclear annihilation)

This isn't remotely hard.

Either lean into the fan theory that "James Bond" is a cover that gets passed from agent to agent, or just start setting these back in the 1960s when a character like Bond made a little more sense.

There. Mail me my check.

As we learn more and more about the costs associated with GenAI, I continue to wonder how institutions and their leadership decide that yes, incorporating anything OpenAI produces into the lives of educators and students is worth the harms.

Senate Dems were perfectly willing to ask us to sacrifice. But one weekend of work and flight delays were simply too much for them to bear.

The whole "fight" was just a little pageant to get them through the election.

Hi, I'm on SNAP. Stop speaking for me. The Dems made my life measurably worse by caving, and nade other lives even worse than mine. More people will die because they caved.

nobody's interested in kayfabe when they can't afford the admission

"Per compliance policy, certain AI-generated fields cannot be updated by clinical staff" is a managerial decision that will lead to prolonged suffering and preventable death. Having to escalate these fuck-ups to be reviewed by higher levels within the bureaucracy is a waste of time and resources.

If only someone could have predicted this

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About WASHINGTON—Having thus far caved on eliminating the filibuster, advancing an adequate climate change agenda, and protecting voting rights, congressional Democrats told reporters Wednesday they were si...

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

this is literally never not accurate

Just caught a guy performatively staring into the middle distance…he wanted me to think he was meditating upon the strange vicissitudes of fate but I could tell he was just a wastoid

Analysis | Yes, Democrats won last Tuesday's elections by double digits. However, they did not win them by triple digits. The time had come to cave to Trump.

Elian Gonzalez is a member of Cuba’s government, The National Assembly of People’s Power today.

Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

PANEL 10: Another reporter stands up and interrupts the mayor.

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

Going to repeat this every time I see the GOP "plan":

I have kidney failure. I require dialysis to live. Three times a week every single week. It costs $1000 per treatment.

So either they need to give me a MINIMUM of $156,000 a year...or I'm going to die.
