The “One Big Beautiful Bill” should terrify anyone who cares about checks and balances. From court-defying powers to political control over regulatory agencies, this isn’t a tax bill—it’s a playbook for authoritarianism. We broke it down: https://bit.ly/3SlWNvk #WeTheBuilders #NoKings #OBBB #OBUB

The biz case for a product I’m working on was built with “guesstimate” data copy-pasted straight from ChatGPT. No citations. For data source it’s just: “ChatGPT” We’re so cooked fam. But global corps move so slowly, it’ll be years before we start seeing the results of garbage in -> garbage out.

In today’s neighborhood chatter: Will the Brooklyn Mirage, aiming for the title of NYCs largest nightclub, complete its major renovation in time? This was the scene an hour ago. They still plan to host a sold out show TONIGHT. God be with those ticket holders. www.reddit.com/r/avesNYC/s/...

May Day - a commemoration of the struggles and gains of global labor movements. Also used as a distress signal. 🚨 Tomorrow’s May Day call to action is an embodiment of both. ✊

Signs that NYC spring has finally SPRUNG: 1) my allergies have hit “pour antihistamines into every facial orifice” threat levels 2) conga lines of ants along our sills prompted our annual “Terro Bait Moveable Feast” 3) phalanxes of shoulder-to-shoulder run club casuals choking the waterfronts

The pace of technological advancement is already many magnitudes faster than humankind’s speed to understand and adapt to change. Absent any political will to enact collective governance standards proportionate to the current threat, we stand at the precipice of a global democratic collapse.

Adam Rippon’s stream of consciousness podcast is essential listening if you, too, wish that your life came with a sassy gay commentary track in its DVD bonus features. Could listen to him narrate his Sims telenovela for hours.

Will be migrating my photo feed off Instagram to Pixelfed or Flashes. I’m searching the web with Kagi, and dumped Chrome to try Brave, Arc, and Orion. Left GMail and Google Drive for Proton. Deactivated Twitter/X for Bluesky, and will delete FB. #DataPrivacy #NoMoreKings #Deshittification

It’s giving Bama Rush Week Remember when Sally Ride shared her anecdote about the number of tampons NASA thought she might need in space, and we all laughed and laughed at the sincere ignorance of it all? Today, that degree of sincere concern would represent a giant leap forward for MAGA-kind.

Researching open source & privacy-focused platforms to shift my personal use away from Silicon Valley tech monopolies (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta) to companies more aligned w/my values. Kicking myself for not doing this sooner! What I’m finding out there is exciting. Sometimes, it takes a coup.

Spent lunch yesterday on a fruitless quest thru Midtown’s many corp chain pharmacies, scouring yards of locked product cases, trying to re-up on my husband’s preferred, obscure, imported brand of English throat lozenge. Found at our local Brooklyn mom & pop. Real peak mid-aughts hipster shit.

I’ll take criminal intent for $200 please: A: In NYC, real estate developers, local politicians, and the mob all engage in this organized intimidation tactic to generate profits. Q: What is racketeering? Correct!

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things: you don't get to talk about it. you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story. it's always shut the fuck up friday

Hey NYTimes — now you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Ignore the clickbait title. This wide-ranging conversation about AI is deeply compelling, essential viewing. Nothing else is quite as important to modern civilization as determining what we do (and don’t) want our relationship with technology to be in the future. youtu.be/_jl64f-821o?...

I will never stop being aghast that the United States built a higher education system that was literally the envy of the entire world—our bitterest political enemies nonetheless sent their children to us to be educated, it was so good—& then just decided to systematically, ruthlessly dismantle it

nobody was bothered about trans ppl existing 7 years ago. everything that pisses you off about us is entirely fabricated by news media and politicians. every concern you have about our healthcare being ‘experimental’ is a lie. nothing you think you know is accurate.

Joe Biden was right to pardon his son. Trump pardoned his criminal co-conspirators. He's gonna pardon terrorists. ENTIRELY MISS ME with your dumb arguments about how Democrats must follow rules Republicans ignore. My latest in @thenation.com

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Husband asked me whether I’d heard about the Hannah Kobayashi missing person case. His one casually-shared news link turned into 2 hrs of social media and local reporter deep-dives, to the point where I could now give a TedX talk Everything about this case is bonkers, and I hope she is found safe
