Folks, a mama cat has given birth to four kittens in my bf’s Not At All Safe garage in oak cliff in Dallas. We cannot foster (leaving the country in 5 days), and I doubt my ability to capture any of them. If you are in Dallas and have experience fostering cats, please reach out.

when we ride the buses that are funded with new taxes and see low-income kids go to college for free. when we see solar panels on schools. when we know we can access abortion care and live in homes without lead pipes. her memory will be a blessing.

may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch. every time a trans person moves to mn for safety. when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote. when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

I think this is a pretty good essay. I’d like you to read it. And I’d like you to share it. Not because of the Youtubers, but because you don’t know who in your network might need to read it someday.

"Which is to say it was a perfectly normal morning, no better or worse than any parent of any kid might have. Normal is not what we would have predicted in those first 24 hours. But normal is what we have." This is one of two messages on this. I wrote about #DownSyndrome and prenatal testing.

Since today is a day about death and remembrance, my best life advice related to death: go to the funeral. You’re thinking that you don’t know the family well enough, you’re not that close, you’ll be in the way. You won’t. Go to the funeral.

The argument against using AI, especially for personal decisions, is pretty clear here, but I think it makes a broader case about how dangerous sycophancy is.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Floyd's Warped Mind A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used Al models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often Al agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the Al simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.

I’m not sharing the mishmash of different paragraphs that may or may not all be from the same document, but I will say this: Trans rights are human rights. Trans people are not a bargaining chip. Their lives are non-negotiable. And fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.

Someone please go bring MARS home! He lost both of his ear tips to frostbite this cursed winter but he's an indoor kitty who just wants a warm lap and someone to chat with. You can visit him at Feline Rescue in St. Paul.

NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE

I don't know if we can stop the terrible things that are happening. But I do know that we can commit ourselves as individuals and communities and societies to seek justice for as long as it takes.
