I regret to inform everyone that the rumors are true, Zohran Mamdani has indeed brought Shakira Law to New York City.
My hips absolutely lied to me about my ability to walk all over the city and not regret it later.

I know nobody follows me over here but this weekend I am getting major dental surgery and the All On X procedure thanks to the kindness of Manhattan Arch Collective and donors like you.
I still need to get the permanent dentures after this and I know nobody has money but any help is appreciated!

To honor Charlie Kirk’s beliefs, I will refrain from feeling empathy at the news of his demise. It’s what he would have wanted.
Instead, I encourage all to make donations in his memory to orgs that support trans rights, gun reform, and the victims of mass shootings. It’s what he would have hated.

I'm only mildly joking when I say that the genealogy fad dying out made space for the mainstreaming of the anti-vaccine movement. If wide swaths of working class America still knew how many dead babies were in their family trees they might stop and think about this shit.

I can't even imagine how soul-destroying it must be to be a creative faced with needing to find a new job because people are churning out AI slop rather than paying for quality artistic creations only to have to settle for a job like this to put food on the table.
It's so horrifyingly dystopian.

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.
