Okay before I scarf down a Prettyman courthouse cafeteria caesar salad...one more cheeky reminder to consider supporting our work if you value live threads like this! givebutter.com/journalism/a...

When ChatGPT’s Medical Advice Led to Tragedy A young woman asked a chatbot about tapering off her medicine for epilepsy as well as how to hide this from her doctors. She died. www.nytimes.com/video/well/1...

People ask me where I live and I just say "Lawrence, Sexus." That's how we roll in Sexus.

The famine in Gaza is worsening, and the displaced civilians are under constant attack. Please don't turn away, we're there only voice and means of survival. Please give to my dear friend so she can take care of her children. No amount is too small. And help others. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Walking the line outside the Trump rally in Corinth, I was reminded that more unites us than divides us here in Mississippi. I heard from folks who want to get foreign money out of our elections, put an end to flock cameras, keep our border secure, and make sure our veterans are taken care of.

LA-area folks who support reproductive rights, here’s a great way to do it! Shop at LAGRH’s holiday boutique on 11/7! Tackle all your gifting needs, stock up on baked goods, and pick up an emotional support chicken or two.

I am not joking when I say that the people who complain about crime and safety in 2026 would not last five minutes in the cities of the 1970s-1990s.

I'm not saying crime doesn't matter now, or conditions on the subway but I'm also saying there are some people who will freak out at the sight of any unhoused person anywhere and it is tiresome AF when you remember guys jerking off at Charles / MGH on the regular.

Republicans are the party of rape.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Amplifying for relevance. Do not engage with fascists. Do not reply to fascists. Do not quote-dunk fascists. Do not spend a single second reading/watching what they have to say (the algorithm knows it) Do not acknowledge they exist. Put them on the backfoot. Monopolize the debate with YOUR demands

I've often thought/said that AI convinces people that they're incapable of doing stuff they everyone just did a few years ago: read articles, write papers, answer email, etc.

My daughter was in my office one time when she was about 10 and wrote on a post-it, “I love [my full name] very VERY much! ❤️” and stuck it on my monitor. I’ve had several monitors since then, but that post-it (now taped) gets moved to each new one. (She’s 29 now)

A mom at my kids' school told me she used AI for the yearbook message to her kid, and I was floored. Also, it took me way less time to write a brief, loving note to my kid than to prompt a sad simulacra.

Has…has she met her daughter?

My most controversial take that upsets a lot of people is that a lot of people simply shouldn't be parents.

If three words about your child is seen as an “impossible task,” I don’t think you should be trusted to continue caring for that child because they are, at best, an afterthought to your life 

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

"The fact that you have all of these parties that are advocating major war crimes and nobody is blinking says something very deep about Israeli society, but also about an international community that has fostered this and that has allowed this to brew for all of these years."

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...
