USPS doesn’t “lose” money. It costs money. It’s a service that benefits everyone. In a rational country, we wouldn’t even need to explain to grown adults how public services work, or why it’s a terrible idea to erode them.

How crazy would it be if a bunch of good shit all of a sudden started happening at some point in our lives instead of a bunch of bad shit

There is nothing that chatGPT can do that you cannot do on your own. It just may do it a little faster, but it is still at the expense of the global south, it’s basically slave labor and it’s killing the environment also everything you type is recorded

The really impt thing about #OurFlagMeansDeath being on all these end of year lists is that there is a HUGE recency bias. For #OFMD to be on all these lists is bigger than just it being stupid to cancel it. It's big enough to overcome happening 9 days into the year Netflix

We're currently seeing high levels of RSV across New York City. RSV can cause severe illness, especially in infants and older adults—but there are simple steps all New Yorkers can take to stay healthy: on.nyc.gov/4gx1kFw

It’s absolutely batshit that you can’t opt out of a lot of this AI stuff. Like I don’t need Google to generate an AI search summary, and I don’t need a product reviews AI summary, that’s what the damn stars are for. Make it stop.

So let’s clarify again: the mask is not the illegal part; it’s doing a crime. That means that a mask has nothing to do with crime. So why the mask ban, then? We already have a crime ban because crimes are illegal.

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.

Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen, I think it’s a good time to remind everyone or tell for the first time that ChatGPT and other forms for AI are contributing to the rapid warming of our planet.

I keep getting questions about this. Here is my rec for hierarchy of masks for wildfires (worst to best) --> N95 --> N100 --> P100 (the P designation means resistant to oil) --> P100+organic vapor (all the prior ones only capture particles, not gas-phase toxics. If you're

Reporters: Conditions don’t magically become safer when the camera is rolling. Please keep your mask and goggles on, they are vital for protecting your health in this dangerous environment. It is also critical to set a good example for everyone watching.

Physical media is dying and I HATE it Everything being digital and not actually OWNING what you pay for is absolute BS. - Consoles being sold without disc drives - PC’s don’t have Disc drives anymore - Games and movies not getting Physical releases We are sacrificing
