I remember reading him practicing various ‘go home’ speeches on 1/6 with Ivanka. Some of what he wanted to say was even worse than what he eventually went with - Ivanka was able to reel him in. There’s no one doing that now.

He really put a "but I'm different" in his eulogy. What a mind.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

The performance of “perfect citizenship” was the entire point.

Which is why it worked so well.

It was really really hard for the media to phrase the Civil Rights marches as anything other than police overreaction when the protestors are wearing better suits than the media.

There was no illusion that a suit would protect them from violence.

That's the part white people don't get.

Sacrifice.

Financial abuse is one of the most overlooked forms of coercive control. Mel B’s story shows how even those with fame and fortune can be left trapped and powerless. Read more on my Substack.

Awful news.

When I saw, my first thought was pancreatic, which took my brother-in-law last year. An awful, horrible disease and I'm so tired of it stealing so many wonderful people from us way, way too early.

THIS is why supporting mRNA research is so important. More life, more music, *more*.

This reminds me of the time a country boy told me "I'll fuck you up" and I thought he was tryna fight me.

Apparently, "I'll fuck you up" are only fighting words in the five boroughs. My homegirl had to calm me down. 😂

I mourned that I wouldn't know of Prince as an elder. Similarly, it would have been nice for D'Angelo to have a documentary made about him where he'd get to reflect on what he's seen and known as a septuagenarian.

It feels like we're beginning to normalize not expecting to see ourselves get old.

Dee Phunk @deephunk.bsky.social · 5h

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

Credit Scores are a scam.
Why give me a 845 and then revise it down to 820 after discovering that l’ve paid off a couple of major debts? Credit Scores are a built-in scam.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

My report:

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’

The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

Telling people about the AI movie you generated will become as boring and irrelevant as telling them about a dream you had. They're not going to watch it, it doesn't mean anything to anyone but you, so who cares?
