"No wonder moral philosophies of AI lean heavily on the buzzword 'alignment.' When two minds’ perceptions of a third thing line up, we might call that congruity the cognitive equivalent of love." @page88 takes a fresh look at the AI revolution. #longreads wired.com/story/ai-diplomacy…

I wrote about a magical place in New Jersey filled with carnivorous plants.
I tend to think that large intact ecosystems don’t exist in the Mid-Atlantic, let alone in the most crowded state. Yet the Pine Barrens are just that.

ALT Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab with a speech bubble containing a screenshot of the Atlantic headline "Killer Whales Are Not Our Friends" by Jacob Stern. Headline has been altered to strike "Killer" and the byline is crossed out and replaced with a handwritten "AHAB" in red.

BREAKING: The truck being used to promote a big-biz-backed effort to keep McGuinness Blvd. dangerous for all road users has out-of-state plates AND a record of 13 speeding tickets, 2 red light tickets and 47 parking tix since 2016. What a great neighbor! howsmydrivingny.nyc/annoz4p9

Given the amount of interest a tweet showing a photo of an empty cycle lane got, I thought it's a good time to bust out this one again.
Cycle lanes and footpath don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently.
Obscene. Gross. We are the worst.
2. There are about 3.5 million people who work for the federal gov't.
72% of all federal workers are "defense-related,"
That includes DoD civilians, uniformed military, and Veterans Affairs staff.

Lucky for us we have lots of pics to choose from to celebrate #World Bicycle Day! We chose this picture of President Carter riding his bike at Camp David on 5/3/80. NAID 844870

Unbelievable.
I'm incredibly disappointed that the State Assembly (@NYSA_Majority) is refusing to bring #SammysLaw up for a vote after the @NYCCouncil *and* @NYCMayor showed our support for the law through a super majority.
Families across the city deserve this vote.
Wow. HUGE NEWS! We’re passing Sammy’s Law in the @NYCCouncil, clearing the way for Albany to *allow* NYC to lower our speed limits and save lives.
This is for my baby, this is for all of our kids, this is for Sammy Cohen-Eckstein and all who we’ve lost to traffic violence.
NYPD is a criminal organization @NYCMayor

Makes sense since water can’t travel underground. Duh.
“The court held that law covers only wetlands “with a continuous surface connection” to those waters, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for five justices.” nytimes.com/2023/05/25/us/su…

The most unsurprising finding in the history of social science.
“That’s the great irony of firearms training,” the sociologist Harel Shapira writes. “In learning how to use a gun for self-defense, something that seems like it might give you confidence and a sense of safety, people end up feeling more afraid.” nyti.ms/3pMZRp3

Florida criminalizes college history classes.
Breaking news: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill into law Monday that would bar the state’s colleges and universities from spending money on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and limit how race can be discussed in many courses. wapo.st/3o2YwtT
