Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how beautifully these 2 have modeled Jewish-Muslim solidarity in the service of a politics of inclusion for all.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Announcing new open-source Python package: aisuite!

This makes it easy for developers to use large language models from multiple providers. When building applications I found it a hassle to integrate with multiple providers. Aisuite lets you pick a "provider:model" just by changing one string, like openai:gpt-4o, anthropic:claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022, ollama:llama3.1:8b, etc.

pip install aisuite

Thanks to Rohit Prsad, Kevin Solorio, @standsleeping, Jeff Tang and @Johnsanterre for helping build this!

We were trapped in Lake Lure near #Asheville this weekend with three kids, no power, no phone service and a dwindling food supply. We only got out because some amazing souls led us through backroads for two hours to help us get to a freeway before that route flooded over

[Tariq Scott Bokhari @FinTechInnov8r]

Went to help in the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area today, and it’s hard to describe - never seen anything like this. Post apocalyptic. It’s so overwhelming you don’t even know how to fathom what recovery looks like, let alone where to start. Going to be a long path to recovery that all levels of stakeholders are going to be needed.

@kelsientaggart How do you go to Michigan, knowing damn well this issue was going to come up, and not have a good diplomatic response prepared?

To use the Montreal subway, you tap a paper ticket against the turnstile and it opens. But how does it work? And how can the ticket be so cheap that it's disposable? I opened up the tiny NFC chip inside to find out more... 1/15

"The point of free speech is that people have a right to say things that you might find uncomfortable."

The genocide apologists are out in force tonight.

Having lost the argument – no group in Gaza has a rocket that can flatten a hospital, not even close – they're trying to spin it differently.

Supposedly it was still one of Islamic Jihad's paltry home-made rockets but the damage was caused by it hitting an ammo dump – presumably a very large one stored in the middle of the hospital.

Even if that sounds like it might be true to you (and it really shouldn't), watch and listen to the missile slam into the hospital at terrifying high speed. That's a very hi-tech armament. Not something Islamic Jihad knocked up in a workshop after watching a YouTube tutorial.

There truly are ghouls out there – and they will keep spewing out new bits of disinformation on behalf of Israel's genocidal government. Don't be fooled

Watching the messaging change in real time after the air force discovered they killed possibly over 500 people.

[jordan @JordanUhl]

Sure fooled me

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

As a Jewish person, I wish I could spend this week grieving and mourning. But the Israeli government is weaponizing our grief to enact a second Nakba, killing thousands and displacing millions. I can make time to grieve while also working to stop ethnic cleansing.
