To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Meanwhile, conditions in Delaney Hall and in ICE detention generally are terrible, sometimes to the point of fatality. Please do EVERYTHING you can to prevent ICE digging its claws any deeper into the good people of New Jersey.

How Local Law Enforcement Collaborates with ICE February 6, 2026

I published a short and quick primer on how local law enforcement, mostly sheriffs, can collaborate with ICE. I hope it's useful -- I also would love to know what people are seeing in their community.

HELL yea

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Yuh-Line Niou makes an announcement to run for state senate. The announcement reads: We need bold, aggressive, truly progressive leadership right now. Leadership strong enough to fight Trump and Bring the Democratic Party back to what it’s supposed to be: standing with Immigrants, people of color, workers, and everyone getting crushed by this economy. Democrats can’t keep compromising in the face of government sponsored violence and creeping totalitarianism. Not anymore. This is our time to fight.

Thanks so much for writing this story... people have been sharing it in my feed all day, and every time it brings a little spark of joy to my heart.

Facts.👇

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
