The Ford campaign is going way out of the box this time
Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same.
This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

a thread of artzybasheff, who is definitely not forgotten by me, but I've spent a lot of time over the years poring over old magazines, including Time
Seems to me like we're due for a reconsideration—and perhaps even an exhibition?—of the mostly forgotten illustrator Boris Artzybasheff, whose hallucinatory mid-20th-century automation drawings seem eerily prescient right now. "Executive of the Future," 1952 onlinecollections.syr.edu/objects/1223...

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

Texas’s governor uses a wheelchair. You would think he of all leaders in the state could successfully demand, without any negative political consequences, that this man be returned to the hospital until he’s in any kind of condition to face appropriate immigration proceedings.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport.
She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury.
It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players.
They have failed.

I’m just an unfrozen caveman lawyer frightened by the talking pictures on my wall, but if I were a TV producer who knew anything about the subconscious impact of negative space, I’d have the first show that puts an empty chair with the White House seal at the table for every discussion with critics.
An entirely reasonable organizational response from CNN would be that they will no longer host members of the administration as long as the administration bars them from the White House
BASH: The Wall Street Journal reports the president's top advisers are warning the Iran war could continue the rest of his term, until 2029. Is that what you think?

It seems like this is a good time to tell you all why LLMs are never, and can never be, conscious.
Are AI companies being extremely irresponsible with incomplete and badly defined parameters for their LLMs? Yes!
Are they unwittingly creating Skynet? No. Grow up. Come on

Saoirse is in an afterschool program, and today she excitedly told me all about the SMART test for evaluating the credibility of information (source, motivation, author, review, two-sources).
I can think of a lot of adults who would benefit from this class designed for 4th and 5th graders.

I wrote two pieces in the month after 9/11—at which time I was working as a copy editor at the Tribune Chronicle—that will always be my markers of that moment, a personal reflection from one week later and an editorial for the paper about the importance of protecting civil liberties in that moment.
