C'mon propublica, not you too. I just… don't fucken do this, man… Not the people who literally broke the story about how "AI" systems disproportionately harm the already marginalized, reinscribing prejudice into supposedly objective process w/ life & death results. All that shit's still there, y'all
"You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right."
Goddamn, Melville could really cook.
IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE MAKING COMICS WITH PEOPLE WHO LOVE MAKING COMICS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE READING COMICS! :)
Thank you! It was disgusting.
The smugness in that look, connected with an LLM-written letter tells me everything I need to know.
If I want to be condescended-to in my reading, I'll get another Franzen book.
I don't need madlibs to do it.
THIS!
I spent WEEKS researching a specific environmental permit to understand what the unique clauses in it were and determine if they were necessary to continue forward into the renewal - they were.
My superiors were angry about this.
Meanwhile, uh, disastrous lawsuit averted!
damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone
Good morning, here is a divine diminutive decomposing composer 💚💗🍄🟫 (This is a mushroom playing keyboard under a willow tree. Bio-electrical fluctuations in the mushroom are controlling the bionic arms.) #fungifriends

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:
Weird how this works

Becoming skilled in anything, is the ability to see a new problem and go "this reminds me of this previous problem, which I solved this way"
Even with a calculator, the person using the calculator benefits from experience in solving problems.
They have not outsourced problem-solving itself.

"Africa Rise, China Roar" by Prof. Yunxiang Gao looks at the connected lives of African American and Chinese leftist activists, artists and intellectuals after WWII.

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!
Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.

THIS IS BIG
For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.
That guy should be very excited to explore the idea in a cozy old game youtu.be/18qgUQ1R5ls?...
this is amazing! i hope you make and share more!!
"GET IN THE PENALTY BOX SHINJI"- @precomped.bsky.social
💖🫶🏾 elegantly stated!
Very persuasive. Worth underlining that there are trade-offs. If your goal is to "improve the writing," but also "keep this accessible to the widest possible audience, and don't advocate any specific perspective," you are pulling and pushing on the same lever. Humans can't both pull & push either.

this is heaven??? goodbye forever I have died ✌️
Revolution X arcade cabinet with the boys from Aerosmith
It rules that they made an arcade game about a dystopian police state that can only be toppled by the revolutionary spirit and dangerous lyrics of the music of Aerosmith. 1984 is solved by Love in an Elevator.
Amazon is fucking hell to buy socks on I can’t imagine figuring out getting a F-150 financed, you’ll probably end up with a 4rd Excitement F Power Truck 5 StarsTrusted and it’ll be a cardboard box that costs you 80 grand
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
Kind of a big deal that @hellgatenyc.com can confirm that NYC First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro used his position to cancel Kehlani's SummerStage concert in order to punish the artist for their political speech on Palestine:
