stop engaging in ai fruit slop and instead embrace tradition.

talked to gun trainers nationwide who say there's an unprecedented, "stratospheric" uptick in interest for firearm training. this is unique, they say, in that it's born out of concern for constitutional rights rather than a personal desire for self-defense nbcnews.com/news/us-news/g…

latest for @nbcnews: a norwegian biathlete won an olympic bronze medal and promptly used the opportunity to try and shoot his shot with his ex, who he cheated on

so i talked to one of the bushes at the super bowl nbcnews.com/pop-culture/mu…

omg you people can’t do anything

This was so on the nose that I burst into laughter

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I'm real outspoken about my opinion of the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate slate.com/news-and-polit…

this reddit scammer used @NBCNews' reachout to further their ruse by generating a fake uber eats employee badge

I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable. It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…

In August, Adam Raine's parents sued OpenAI, saying their son used ChatGPT as his suicide coach. Today, OpenAI denied responsibility for his death, arguing that the 16-year-old violated its terms of use. It's the company's first legal response to the case. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna2…

An honor to be a part of @Angela_Y_Yang's top notch #Wicked reporting for @NBCNews! - nbcnews.com/pop-culture/mo… - Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at box office data company @Comscore @csMoviesUS @CSGlobalMovies, said he was impressed that #WickedForGood @wickedmovie outpaced #Wicked at the box office, noting there’s never a guarantee that sequels of popular movies will perform to expectations. “This isn’t just a one-weekend wonder,” Dergarabedian said. “This is a film that’s perfectly tailored for audiences over the next six weeks, heading all the way to New Year’s Eve and beyond.” He predicts the film will help fuel one of the biggest-ever Thanksgiving weeks for movie theaters, along with the upcoming Wednesday release of #Zootopia 2.” @UniversalPics @jonmchu @ArianaToday #CynthiaErivo

AI is advancing faster than governments can regulate it. And people don’t trust tech companies to regulate themselves. Now, some insurance companies see an opportunity to chase a lucrative new market in this safety gap. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

This is so devastating. Brooke, Michelle, Jessica and Sandra — who ran the four diversity verticals at NBC News — have always been my favourite editors to work with, and they all did such important work for their respective communities. I can’t believe this. 😔

A defining characteristics of Trump II has been to take actions that have never been taken -- or even publicly contemplated -- then casting them as routine, commonsensical or supported by tradition.

I'll say it again: In my opinion, when companies or institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law; they are making educated guesses that the U.S. is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won't matter.

hey, do you remember like last week when Discord announced server capacity was getting raised to 25 million people, and everyone went “why would you need 25 million people in a discord server?” and then Nepalese Zoomers took over their government via Discord?
