We had a party/protest to drown out the hateful bigots protesting my local library's drag story hour, it was dope. Shoutout to the Beverly branch and Chicago Public Libraries for supporting Pride in our community.

"The corporate and billionaire-owned media serve up jokey TACO memes, but deliver little comprehensive analysis of Trump’s underlying instability, contradictory impulses, and reversals on policy matters ranging from tariffs to Ukraine, all aided and abetted by hand-picked stooges."

This may be a little bit down the priority list of evil things the Trump people are doing to this country, and I don't see how it can be successful, but the audacity to harass people doing good work is mind-boggling.

Old enough to remember when MAGAville was furious that the government was trying to pressure private companies. This is pure jawboning/chilling effects trying to create a "cost" for advertisers choosing not to advertise on X.

Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

this is only adjacent to the topic but I really hate the "this person will kick cancer's ass" style of discussion about illness. cancer is a tsunami. you might get lucky and survive it but you don't fight it. you get lucky enough to catch it early, and to have a cancer that we can treat, or not

Apple lost in court, lost on appeal, and was denied cert by SCOTUS. Then it tried to dodge the rules anyway - with deceptive workarounds and executive testimony the judge called “not credible.” Enough is enough. 1/6

Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.
