🚨 We urgently need blankets at our Philadelphia headquarters! 🚨 Our Animal Law Enforcement team recently rescued a large group of cats, many of whom are battling panleukopenia, a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease. The cats are being cared for in isolation areas, and our team is taking every precaution to protect them and the other animals in our care. Staff wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow strict cleaning and sanitation protocols to help prevent the virus from spreading. We take the health and safety of every animal here incredibly seriously. As part of these precautions, we have to throw away the blankets these cats use during each cleaning to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. This means we’re going through blankets much faster than usual and urgently need donations to help keep our cats warm and comfortable. If you have extra blankets to spare, we could really use them right now! Donations can be dropped off at 350 E Erie Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19134. You can also shop our Amazon wishlist: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2Y… Thank you for always showing up for the animals who need us most! ❤️

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

The fact that Nick doesn't have 8 bajillion followers is clear evidence to me that this platform is irrevocably broken. All dude does is slog through the jungle studying and photographing the wildest animals imaginable, producing REAL content AI slop peddlers could only dream of.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I’ve seen several people make this point, but it bears repeating: a staggering number of Americans are about to realize that the government had the capacity to help them all along simply chose not to, because those in power did not prioritize their lives or well-being.
Mamdani on The View on new funding for universal childcare: "We actually have a mother in the audience -- Mallory -- who when the announcement was made, texted her husband to say, 'It might be time for a second kid.'" Hosts: "Awwww"

Threatening war because you didn't get a peace prize is a new one.

Guys, I know the situation is bad with Trump leading us into WW3, but the alternative was a functioning economy, equal rights, and Medicaid for all.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

There are few things that haunt me more than someone dying this young. Her essay on coming to terms with her mortality was one of the more gorgeous things I’ve read, and a reminder how lucky we are to be here. RIP.

In response to the linked article. 1: The rampant use of ChatGPT is due in part to a society-wide failure to value education for its own sake. By treating a pure means to an end - wealth - as a final end, we have ethically crippled a generation. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

30% fare increases Service cuts by 20% across the board Dozens of routes eliminated "Unusable service" on weekends We are imminently facing an irreversible public transportation "death spiral" because Harrisburg Republicans did not fund SEPTA. This new reality is nothing short of catastrophic for West and Southwest Philadelphians, who disproportionatley rely on public transportation to get around. The time for political games is over. A bill fully funding SEPTA already passed the State House with bipartisan support. I call on Pennsylvania Senate Republicans to stop stonewalling and immediately send House Bill 2625 to Governor Shapiro's desk. If all else fails, I urge Governor Shapiro to do everything he can to stop the bleeding.
