Has someone thought of an AI diary app yet? Because I don’t think I’m using ChatGPT the right way.

Beautiful day in the city today. #nyc

The #BlackMirror x Inside out crossover event was not on my bingo card.

Exactly! I’ve been trying to resist blaming them throughout the documentary but I just couldn’t. Especially at the end when they accepted to settle out of courts despite one of their daughter’s refusal because she wanted to speak out in court.

No, Mike! #WhiteLotus

05:45am I start doing wordle and spelling bee for like an hour in the bed. 06:45am I regret my earlier decision for like five minutes.

Excellent piece. Anecdotally, the few people I know who are liberal leaning and voted for Trump last time had a lot of resentment about how liberal cities were managed and found that message of bringing it all down appealing for that reason. Not the only reason they voted this way but notable.

There is a (good) trend toward long form content. This reflects a growing demand for nuance, depth, and substantive conversation in a world dominated by short-form, algorithm-driven snippets.

The most maddening thing about RFK is that about 30% of what he says is roughly right. Obesity is a massive epidemic because of processed foods. Sugar addiction is out of control. We should have never allowed them to co-opt this issue. The other 70% is insane, and will get people killed.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Unpopular opinion: No, democrats shouldn’t be doing “something” about everything. This doesn’t work against this shock and awe, flood the zone approach. Try to find the real dangers in between the noise and focus on that. That’s how you’ll be effective.

Vinay is blaming the whole pandemic on USAID.

It’s clear that the Republicans’ messaging is very effective. They control the narrative. Imagine if they use that messaging for a good cause like maybe gun control. I don’t think it’s the constitution stopping them. They are fine trampling on the rest of it.

The most disheartening thing about Trump’s first presidency was watching otherwise reasonable people try to convince us that the orangutan throwing around poop was actually making smart and logical arguments. This time it’s even worse.

A favorite commission this year, a dividing cell with an extra detail. Colleagues of a retiring researcher commissioned me to add the specific structure she worked on—the spindle pole body—to the sculpture. Here it is close up, in sterling silver embedded in the bronze nuclear membrane. 🔬#SciArt

Even better. I’m going to listen to so many audiobooks in 2025 while working out every day.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

An amazing human.

This poor mom is dealing with her son who believes that 1990 was nearly 35 years ago. Our education system is in tatters when kids don’t know how to do basic math. 1990 was 11 years ago.
