Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.

Minneapolis to Feds: “Get the Fuck Out” An array of federal agencies attempted to carry out a coordinated raid in Minneapolis on June 3. Locals surrounded them, forcing them to retreat. We share two firsthand accounts of these events and some strategic reflections on how best to resist such raids.

This blows up the theory underpinning much of the eco modernist movement

niche users! scrobblers and glastonbury goers. have i got a link for you.

I feel way too many things about this. Horrified by the utter graft of creating a thing that just lies to you. Impressed by how bloody smooth ChatGPT is — like ice cold psychopath boyfriend charm smooth. Extra horrified that these two things go together and there are people who will not see it.

When it comes to LLMs, this is the only question that matters. And it’s an issue that can’t be engineered away, because LLMs’ correlation-based epistemology is fundamentally incompatible with scientific-based reasoning. It can be ignored, however. Which has tended to be the default position.

This is the *real* rationing and “death panels.” ‘Merica.

Grew up in a diner across the street from the end of the train line from Manhattan, can confirm that anyone calling it a "bacon cheese and egg" sandwich is a shapeshifting alien wearing a human skin-suit

I don't know what world hassabis is living in but the reality is the reverse. AI is creating a world whereby there's less trust (by making it difficult to differentiate real from ai generated), ever wider inequity gap, and ever more intrusive surveillance

This seems common to the rollout of AI tools basically everywhere right now. They do an impressive demo for the bosses and then when they actually put them in the field the workers who actually have to use it discover that there's a lot of basic shit the AI can't do correctly.

Not sure if NYC pension funds have already divested from private prison companies, but if not, I don’t know see they can continue investing in GEO Group, which is actively collaborating with Trump’s unconstitutional mass deportation campaign.

i worry cuomo is going to win because new yorkers love electing the guy who is most incapable of sounding normal. the other candidates should be out in front of their constituents every day saying stuff like "i enjoy my sliced pies in the old fashioned style. that's right, cheesed and extra juicy"

You remember James Frey as the confabulator who faked a memoir and got humiliated by Oprah for it; I remember him as the book packager who egregiously exploited young writers with an outrageously bad ghost writing contract. He's always been fucking terrible. whatever.scalzi.com/2010/11/13/t...

Hooray! The new encrypted tips form Ive been working on with @phiffer.org is now live! Very, very proud and delighted with this effort. www.propublica.org/tips/#submit

this is probably totally fine

An inspiring story: U Mich president withdraws his signature on a letter defending academic freedom because he wants to leave and get paid to join Ron DeSantis's war on higher education, and then doesn't get the Florida job because he supports vaccination www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/06/haha...

the only ethical consumption under capitalism(?)

seriously, I know this is a crazy radical idea in these extremely normal times but what if democrats stopped voting for trump nominees

This was a really big deal and the team worked hard on it. It's really great that it's live and out in the world.

Shot/chaser

I don’t have any use for my New Yorker card, and you can have it if you want, but this man has never stepped foot in New York.

The Tiny Awards are back, and so am I! After a year off, I'll be a judge helping to decide "the best of the small, poetic, creative, handmade web" made in the last 12 months. Nominations open until the end of the month, submit anything you love! tinyawards.net

This breakfast order is grounds to be run out of NYC.

If you go to brunch with this man, he may actually murder you in cold blood

"other things also use water" is not a reason why this thing should use water

Nearly 14 MILLION people are estimated to lose their health insurance under Republicans' “big beautiful bill.” That's like everyone in: Wyoming Vermont Alaska North Dakota Montana Maine New Hampshire Hawaii West Virginia Idaho and Nebraska COMBINED.

It appears that the current policy is that you can only name vessels after straight white guys.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

One off-the-cuff thought I had during this Hallway Track, when talking about how people are using LLMs to analyze legacy code: "Men will literally spend billions of dollars developing generative AI rather than talk to the people doing the work."

Because this is not how LLMs work Next question

I... oh my god. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

🚨NEW: VoteVets slams decision to strip Harvey Milk’s name from Navy ship. “This isn’t just offensive—it’s a calculated act of disrespect.” It's not about tradition. It’s about forcing out those who don’t fit Hegseth’s 1980s action figure fantasy of service. FULL STATEMENT ⬇️

I really really want to emphasize this to any reporters covering the NYC mayoral race: 1. Cuomo is scum 2. I don't care what he or any other mayoral candidate thinks about America's foreign policy 3. Don't waste my time or the candidates by asking them about Israel. It is irrelevant.

The pro life position is to let women die in a hospital parking lot while their partners scream for help
