You have to love people in need more than you hate the other side, even when the other side is full of malice. You have to want progress more than you want vindication of a world view or the intoxication of self-righteousness. Otherwise, it's not activism--just ego.

2 years ago I left my job not knowing what was next. I started contracting to pay bills during my job search. Reached the final stage of an intvw process I knew would lead to an offer and withdrew, following a gut instinct that it wasn't the right move. 1/4

The thing about LLMs is that they are a genuine accomplishment with a lot of potential. But instead of saying, "hey look at this cool thing we built" tech bros insist they've built a superhuman godlet that can replace all human ingenuity while also being your girlfriend and doing your homework. 1/2

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

Personally, I'd like him to focus more on keeping planes in the sky and out of each other's way
Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Wants Healthier In-Flight Snack Options
Sean Duffy, who has been promoting greater decorum among air travelers, said he would like to see choices besides salty pretzels and buttery cookies.

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

"LLMs are simply tools that emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning, no matter how many data centers we build."
Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

Remember when Melissa Harris Perry had someone on her MSNBC show talking about how entrepreneurs are people who take risks unlike all those lazy poor people looking for a handout?
You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

This man is "in science" in the same way that frat boys are "in liver health"
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Many years ago I fell in love with Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech Solitude of the Self, a feminist argument rooted in the necessity for each of us to have the freedom to develop a rich inner life to sustain ourselves in good times and bad. These guys should maybe read it.
really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)
