AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

the democratic party establishment pushing andrew cuomo over zohran mamdani is proof that they don’t really want to appeal to young men at all. they want to ostracize his coalition the same way they osteacized the bernie sanders coalition

Some people live a life of trying to turn everything they encounter into jerk off material

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

today i had to explain to a client why she "can't use chatgpt to re-design a structural engineering plan", after she asked us to revise a plan based on some LLM hallucinations. i've told my boss about the horrors of AI for years, and you should've seen his face. we are so unbelievably cooked

the first episode of my new podcast ill conceived is out! we talk about the christian organization the promise keepers and what they managed to accomplish (and didn’t)

"It absolves the reader of the responsibility of solidarity and recasts a human rights crisis as a self-inflicted wound. It allows powerful institutions and individuals to maintain a veneer of intellectual seriousness while abandoning a vulnerable minority to a campaign of eliminationist politics."

They’re basically search engines with capacity to compile and execute programs. Trans-compiling speech to a Turing Complete language is cool. But not revolutionary. And the compilers are still buggy. Poorly typed languages always are though. And English is very poorly typed.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

You can exactly simulate the effect of using chatgpt on the human brain, with no technology needed at all, simply by looking at billionaires and CEOs. They do no work, they don't think, they don't learn, they encounter zero problems they themselves must think of a solution. It's all outsourced.

"To a worried parent reading the Times it might seem that anything their transgender kid or teen did to express their gender identity would be potentially harmful." Speaking as someone who transitioned at 15, I can confirm that this is true and really does happen with liberal parents.

🍂 literally anything

Well, this seems like a pretty topical day to read this essential nonfiction cut from @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

It is 1979 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is 2025 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is.....

Fantastic article!!!

Lib Dems raised awareness about trans people, without teaching people. There was no context. They left room for FoxNews and right wing grifters to misinform people. And then they didn’t lift a finger to defend us from reactionary state govs. They just fundraised off our crisis.

I will be honest I feel like a lot of people still subscribe to old ass stereotypes about what gay people and straight people are "supposed" to look like Like guys I'm sorry but women with tattoos, piercings, and shaved heads/parts of their heads can be straight now That's just life

I sometimes think one of the worst things that happened to the left is the concept of “privilege” tbh Talking about rights denied and rights accessed makes clear what the situation is

if you don't love women enough to want to be one are you even a straight guy?

Just me reminding you all that Christian Nationalists are in charge and not a side show but rather The Show
