"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty.

To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

Microsoft CEO says people should stop calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium...that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other."
Downloaded the data from all my social media accounts so I can delete them but now some crazy stuff from the past is adding up. Gonna let it go bc it doesn't really matter anymore but if I ever run into this person...
when kafka said “all the love in the world is useless when there is total lack of understanding” and when richard siken said “if you love me, you don’t love me in a way I understand” and george orwell wrote “perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
