not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

I was sent to a webinar on "harnessing the power of AI" by my job today. At one point, the presenter while explaining the art of """prompt engineering""" says, beseechingly: "You know, the AI is working SO hard just to please you, but you have to give it what it needs to succeed."

I don't know, folks. Had a middle-aged white guy in a car roll down his window absolutely unprompted to scream at me and call me a f*ggot right outside Moscone Center on Friday. First time this has happened since 2009 in Chicago. At least the hate speech is gender-affirming I guess.

Seriously considering a new rule for myself where every time I see the Hitlergruß posted, I must simply close the app and do literally anything else.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
