Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Vance now joining Musk in calling for the return of racist DOGE/Treasury employee Marko Elez. Vance also joins Musk in directing harassment at the reporter who broke the story. No one denies any facts in the reporting, they're just trying to intimidate the press out of doing any critical reporting

@cantwell.senate.gov care to explain? You like non-government actors having control over these systems? Where is your fight? Where is your outrage? Is it time for a new senator for Washington? We won’t forget your abdication of responsibility.

I just wish #yall would signal boost the Black people who are telling you this is Jim Crow more than you signal boost the non-black people who are saying it's Nazi Germany. I know why you won't though. . .

I like to see what other paint-makers are creating & to buy paints from other artists. But I just saw someone on Etsy saying their paint contained: 'No chemicals.' What the fuck is it made of then, mate?? Even I draw the line at buying hypothetical paint. 🙃

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

Instead of transferring federally-created emissions credit fees from automakers who sell gasoline cars to other automakers who make EVs, these fees should be paid to states for public and active transit. 🔌💡

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form. It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..
