Sometimes, the pictures of you in the background of public comment really tell a story.

I have @jessimurray on bluesky if you’re there. I also dunno if I’m going to try to revive my Mastodon presence (in bio), etc, but I no longer feel good about being on twitter really so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very clearly related to why Coded Bias was a much better documentary than that one where a bunch of former tech dudes sadly said “we had no idea we were destroying democracy” (The Social Dilemma)

All 7 women in this survey said "no" to "Is an AGI likely to cause civilizational disaster if we do nothing?". 6/7 warned of that narrative distracting from corporate power grabbing and other immediate risks. Only 5/15 men said "no" to this question. (p-value for χ² = 0.014)

When someone with ADHD doesn’t respond, there are several reasons why: 1. We didn’t see it, our inboxes are often a mess. 2. We have forgotten. 3. We know we have to respond but have a difficult time connecting the dots to make it happen. This sends us into a cycle of shame.

Verification wasn’t about denoting who was popular— it was a security feature that happened to often be more necessary for popular accounts. Removing the security aspect of it means that the core value prop was erased. That’s why no one wants it anymore.

Also the fact is that the beneficiaries of the security feature were partially the verified individuals but more so the audience who would understand whether a tweet they saw was authentic. Verification/security should have been something Twitter invested in not tried to monetize

Next time Elmo wants a feature, make him write out the user stories.

I sent out my goodbye email at work yesterday (today is my last day) and amusingly enough, I have gotten far more Instagram requests for my dog’s account than LinkedIn requests for me. (Admittedly I was already connected to many on LI but I still enjoy it)

COMMENTARY: Supreme Court prioritizes expedience, not justice, in wrongful convictions

The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority decided on Monday that people in state prison no longer have a broad constitutional right to present new evidence in federal court to support claims...

My prediction is that #LoveIsBlindLive will start once all the traffic switches over to HBO for Succession.

Remembering when my old building manager ripped up my rent check that I put in the box over the weekend instead of on Friday so that he could also give me a “failure to pay” fee in addition to a late fee. Cost me $150. Cap the fees to disincentivize weaponizing them.

This poem by Syrian poet Maram Al-Masri just fucking gutted me.
Poem reading "Study hard, my daughter, your country needs the one who will build it. Do you need coffee? Some tea? You are going to succeed, I’m sure you will get your diploma. How happy I’ll be I’ll throw you a big party. Yes… engineer… it’s a beautiful profession… She left for the university loaded with pens and dreams. One of her shoes was returned to the hands of her mother."

Went on a walk today with friends and Sammy was off-leash. Just after this photo, Sammy fell behind-I tried to figure out where she was, and saw she was sniffing a golden retriever. I was flustered and totally missed that the golden in question was Bailey, @ewarren’s pup!
Photo of a tricolor pembroke corgi standing in front of a pond, looking just past the camera. Her face is half white and half brown, with one blue eye and one brown eye.

My friend commented later on how we’d just seen @ewarren in the wild, and I was like, “wait, WHAT?” I was too focused on the dogs! Otherwise I would’ve told them that Sammy, like Bailey, also was a key part of my campaign, focusing on getting Washington to pass a wealth tax.
