DeepSeek doesn't want to talk about some incident at Tiananmen Square in 1989---nearly forty years ago. American's call that "censorship". ChatGPT won't answer basic questions about things in America that are happening right now. That's just OpenAI's "guidelines". Via x/TrueAnon

This Is Not Research!! It's regurgitation and it is dangerous!

Parenting twins is basically just a mashup of Rashoman x Groundhog Day. Every day I get conflicting stories of the same event. Sometimes x Clue too, since there is no guarantee their stories will have the same ending each time.

I read and re-read this book so many times when I was a little girl. I think I wanted to understand my grandparents' childhoods. But I could never understand why Francie wasn't Jewish, like everyone else I knew from Brooklyn.

This is a list of statements by House Democrats defending Sarah McBride. It does not include statements of support that make no mention of the transphobic attacks against her, or statements about transphobia that are not directly relevant. It also does not include retweets/reposts.

This is disgusting discrimination and absolute hypocrisy from people who kiss the ring of a man convicted of sexual assault. Trans rights are human rights. They should be ashamed and the Democrats should all stand up in opposition.

Great article about Robert Caro and the 50th anniversary of The Power Broker. Come for the insights about writing, stay for the image of his 1971 daily word counts, and amazement at the idea of a GoogleDoc. 🗃️ www.curbed.com/article/robe...
