I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

Posting awful things that Mahmoud Khalil has said is falling right into the trap laid by the fascists. They purposely picked a vexatious figure so that people would sow ambivalence and dilute the discussion. The point we all need to be focused on is that Khalil has oppositional positions (1/2)

Dear University that Employs Me: There is 0% chance I will put your new text messaging and phone call app on my phone. This could get totally normalized over the next few years, and I still will not do it. Unless you buy me a phone and pay for my service.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Pretending that having a 1-2% false positive rate is a horror. That means that 99 out of 100 students were, in fact, cheating. But lets focus on the exception that proves the rule instead... www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
