Being married to me is fun because you get wildly off-key covers of “Just a Friend” with the lyrics rewritten as an ode to a cozy blanket at 11:30pm (sorry not sorry, @mattoztalay.bsky.social)

an incomplete list of people who I am not convinced are allowed to sleep:
- Steve Kornacki during election season
- Mike Tirico during the olympics
- curlers in a round robin tournament

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I don't know about all of you, but I am finding it difficult to process Venezuela, Greenland, Minneapolis, and the Fed all at once.

Hi! It would probably be helpful to plan something offline today. It could be a walk outside, a museum, cooking a meal, a workout, or even a nap.

Remember to breathe, eat food you enjoy, take your meds, and give yourself grace. Maybe lower your shoulders. And try not to doomscroll too much today.

There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting

If you can give, please do

If you can’t, please spread the word

Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

It’s too late for this trip, but I picked up some allergy alert cards from Equal Eats in a few languages and really appreciate the peace of mind — highly recommend!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.
