Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Fox News won't ask this, of course, but the next question for anyone else should be, "Ok, then I assume you support government-funded mental health programs with easy access for Americans all across the country to end this scourge of violence?"

They are a peculiar species that thrive in the arid plains. Telepathic and featureless, they often wear masks to facilitate interaction with humans, and scavenge gear from those who don’t survive the heat. #osr #ttrpg #art #illustration
I love this piece by @jordancollver.bsky.social It’s part of a SciComm paper on the tools of storytelling I was lucky enough to get an early look at. I think it really sums up a lot of JC’s approach to art, science, belief, humanity and communication from the cave to the cosmos! So much to unpack

“I don't blame any trans person that refuses to vote for Newsom because he's showing people he will throw them under the bus. As a democracy we can't be willing to sacrifice other people. Like if you're willing to sacrifice another group, no matter how small that group is, you're not a democracy.”

Sam Altman is a very prosecutable human man, don’t worry.
Thesis: Trump is ticking off his authoritarian to do list quickly Antithesis: While Trump is *trying* to tick off his authoritarian to do list, he's not fully succeeding Synthesis: Each item on this check list is not a binary but a spectrum, and we're *way* too far down the spectrum for any comfort
hate when guys like this get fixated on what they think is a clever gotcha. ooo a cynical portmanteau!! do you wear a leather jacket and have a cigarette hanging out of your mouth at all times too or is the perpetual online nihilism the only thing going for you
Yo! More hard brush shenanigans.
i hate that being trans means being held responsible for the actions of every other trans person and that every other trans person is held responsible for mine
Targeting immigrant communities for deportation is ICE’s priority, not New York’s. Add your name to call on New York State reps to pass New York for All, which will prohibit state resources from being weaponized to support Trump's campaign of mass deportations:
The Trump administration says they're the "most transparent" in history. But when I asked the Department of Homeland Security who writes their social media posts, something extremely weird happened: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.

I sincerely believe this is Gavin Newsom's inner monologue:
He greets you at the gate 🐈⬛⛩️ #art #watercolor #traditionalart #caturday
A distressed man.

6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
"You could have waited inside, my dear Warden." "And where's the fun in that, huh? I thought I'd meet you halfway, save some time." "Oh, a perfect moment to waste that time now, then." Help. I'm so deep. #dragonage

my dad's afraid for me to take the train too but I let him sit in traffic for hours alone in his car and take it anyway because I'm a fucking grown-up who isn't afraid to share public transit with black and brown people
so yeah, don't tell me about what Gavin fucking Newsom is good on. he's not good on what matters. he hates trans people and people without homes. he can fuck off into the sun.
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

too many people think the king deserves his stupid trinkets.
we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage

the dems backing newsom just want a trump of their own. their not-so-ironic worship of him is less a satire of trump & his followers and more an emulation. the glee taken in doing something naughty that you imagine will annoy your enemies is part of the original package too

this guy of all fucking people claiming to speak for black women—
Correct. It’s insane that anyone is standing for this. We need people in the streets, campus protests, a general strike. Democrats should be holding rallies and press events constantly. The apathy in the face of all this is astounding.
Ed's got a significant scoop here, an under-the-hood look at GPT5 that suggests why it feels like such a step back to users. The incompetence from OpenAI here is truly remarkable.

The state of Florida came in overnight and painted over the Pulse Memorial site crosswalk in Orlando. This crosswalk abided by the state’s laws and was originally installed by them. To be clear, the state surreptitiously painted over this memorial at night against the city’s wishes. Cowards.
