Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

I think this shows polling is untrustworthy. I believe that the case for Stevens being “more electable” is … polling. This suggests to me that maybe we should back the candidate with a vision and fresh ideas who can win without corporate money against a PAC gorged candidate.

Was this wrong? “But that marginal lead was a far cry from what El-Sayed and his allies had expected. Public polling in the campaign’s closing stretch showed El-Sayed ahead of Stevens by double digits. And his campaign projected confidence they would deliver a decisive win”

Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.

Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers

I hope El-Sayed absolutely trounces that lady.

i'm starting to think people might be sick of democrats who view voters' will as a kind of cute larp unrelated to whatever they, the real protagonists of reality, do in the district

Guys I just got this marketing email and I'm scared.

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.

I am at a fancy Japanese-inspired dinner my husband’s restaurant is hosting, and I just ate a *checks notes* wild ramp sausage Scotch egg so good, I literally hugged the chef and said, “one day, I will die. and that will be okay, because I will have lived a life in which I ate that Scotch egg”

if you don’t stop, i’m going to give you a scoop of ice cream. i’m fucking serious.

🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

I’ve seen a lot of my colleagues’ interactions with Claude working on research problems & it would be easier for me to accept it as a serious scientific tool if it didn’t end every single response with the LLM equivalent of “you want fries with that?” — constantly trying to goad you into asking more

I used genAI once back in 2024. Constant Contact was testing out help with writing emails. Enter some words and it’d come up with a paragraph. I entered: “women’s fellowship; coffee meet up; all invited; once a month.” What I got back: “Hey ladies, it’s that time of month again…” Never again.

there’s, like, a lot of yall who think I’m talking about one specific guy here and it’s like no. this is a general problem. the guy you’re thinking of, that is just one guy among many guys

I have the same approach to LLMs/genAI that many people have to alcohol, gambling, or any other potential addiction they fear falling into, which is that I simply never picked it up. I have never looked at a ChatGPT interface. I have never visited the website. website? app? no idea. I never looked
