Brian, I have followed your career since David Carr, one of your mentors, was still with us and you both were featured in the Times documentary. I appreciate your work. Standing up for truth is a the baseline of your job. You don’t get an attaboy for simply doing your job, it’s what is required.

Because it affects them specifically. Good but not a profile in courage.

Stay for my credit! I was a PA on that movie. It was hard as fuck to work on. Long days, so much night work.

I got in to them a bit a few years ago. Wild, and truly original.

How do you think I feel? I was named after him because I was born on Columbus Day!

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I was there around 1:15 so you were behind the counter. My sister in law bought two catnip pouches!
Did she get adopted? She’s perfect. We have two cats so we need a dog that won’t want to hate them.

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

The owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on Wednesday said it would use the content of chats with its Meta AI to create advertising recommendations across its suite of apps. “People will already expect that their Meta AI interactions are being used for these personalisation purposes,” said Christy Harris, privacy and data policy manager at Meta.

It’s nice. Has good drum sounds so it’s great for practicing solos. And not too expensive either.
