[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

Jalen Brunson, espousing Gramsci’s “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will”, brings a championship to socialist New York City

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

My daughter sends. She knows all about this. Also please come over so I can feed you

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Never believe anyone who tells you a better world is not possible.

Sorry this is just insane. You can’t walk around midtown manhattan? Gtfo

The atheism leaving my body the moment the Pope starts talking about how AI is an affront to God and the new Tower of Babel

[Mountain Ğeneral @MountainGenera]

Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Tom Steyer: “I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school. When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide. Then you think we’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport. It’s like, no we’re not”

“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”

[Shane @McClellandShane]

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

what is zohran mamdani’s plan for zohran mamdani to start wearing a helmet when he rides a bike

[Jesse Brenneman @Jesse_Brenneman]

Another dimension of all this is how it isn’t just the war coming home, it’s the turning of the home into the mythical war these manchildren crave: one where the other side isn’t allowed to fight back.

[Zaid Jilani @ZaidJilani]

The real fear of Zohran Mamdanis critics is not that he fails but that he succeeds. Americans might ask, wait the government can be competent? Why isn’t our city competent?

[theo! ⋆˚࿔ (🚨 bnd spoilers) @theotricality]

i love the new york public library, they’re so sexy

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Zohran Mamdani shares that public libraries in New York City are offering free ebook access to ‘Heated Rivalry’ for those with library cards during the snow storm.
