my peak #nyc #WallStreet moment was seeing on Pearl Street a Hassidic diamond trader trying to buy cocaine from the Dominican guy that was known to only deal it thru subscriptions. the guy was in full Hassidim regalia yelling at the guy in head-to-toe Hilfiguer because how dare he didn't have spare cocaína from his deliveries to deal him. and this is happening, middle of the street, 5pm-ish

when i tell you i’ve almost seen it all here in NYC, it’s a statement of fact and not an exaggeration.

@bipolaron If I *had* money to donate, MIT certainly wouldn't be getting any of it.

Class of 2005 says FUCK THE PIGS

Fucking horrifying. And apparently the administration at MIT is investigating HOW THEIR SHITTY DECISION WAS LEAKED.

This is the same day that they sent out layoff notices, and also have high schoolers deciding whether to go here. Great timing all around.

Amid security concerns, MIT to spend over $3 million on over 500 new surveillance cameras across campus | The Tech

The project is unrelated to the shooting at Brown University in December and had already been underway at the time, according to a statement from MIT spokesperson Kimberly Allen.

A statement that was true then and even truer now, regardless of what the powers that be might have to say on the matter
@zzt Strangely, no government wants to pass a law that says an OS has the *option* of offering an age attestation prompt at account creation, that websites and apps have the *option* of requesting an age-bracket signal, and that in any suit involving alleged harms to a minor, it is an affirmative defense on the part of the app/site that they received a signal indicating the user to be an adult. I mean, I can still see ways that could be bad, but it would push the whole deal a lot closer to workable and constitutional. (Like how we do movie ratings. They're not required by law and can't be.)

A local coffee shop that is set to open soon only has a TikTok and Instagram account... I was a bit surprised, then, to see a bunch of reviews of various menu items and descriptions of what customers love and don't love.

It was TikTok and Instagram using AI to generate "summaries." None of those products exist yet because the coffee shop isn't open yet.

I really hate posting these kinds of begposts, but this has gotten more critical since I posted it. I currently have -7$ until next month, and I need to feed three people with that.
