Just a reminder that if you don't use ALT text in a pic I am very likely not going to repost it, no matter how cool/fun/amazing it is. Please use it; it helps people who are sight impaired, or who maybe don't know what celeb or movie you're talking about, or whatever. It just helps.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

I loved these "Dear Diary" entries from random New Yorkers going about their lives. Do other cities do this kind of thing? And, more importantly, what would be a good prompt for inviting a climate and energy diary entry from you all? 🎁 link www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/n...
