Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
Public transit should be free. I took a ride on the Orange line to talk to riders about how we can keep more money in your pocket. Boston is leading the way. And @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I won’t stop fighting to make this dream a reality.
To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, “Make the conclusion count.”

The idea that we can gene edit for a specific list of “obvious” congenital defects without having ethical conversations about what constitutes a “defect” and what doesn’t is laughable.
No kidding. It's a fucking disgrace. All of my Columbia paraphernalia is in the trash.

Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time.
Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?
Done. Good luck and god-speed.
raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible
The liberatory power of mass literacy has been established across half a millennia.
When you begin with this fact, everything from Silicon Valley fantasies of post-literacy to MAGA book bans fall neatly in line.
Literacy is the foundation of democratic society.
It must be enclosed & economized.

I've been thinking similar things since the other morning when I was on the subway and I saw a guy clearly on drugs (he made it clear by saying so) in dockers and a gingham shirt telling two strangers that their baby was so beautiful it made him want to be a father.
I hope US folks on the No Kings rallies know how much people outside the US are heartened to see them. We always knew the US is full of very fine people who totally reject and revile what's happening, but my god it's good to see it.

Enjoying watching Trump's military parade on BBC and France 24 because it is a wonderful embarrassment for Trump.
