Happy Pride, y'all! I wasn't actually expecting this to drop today, but the timing worked out, so:
I am super fucking excited to announce Echoes, a new consortium and my first-ever piece for cornet and piano, launching today with Jen Oliverio as my wonderful consortium lead. 1/🧵
I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Are there AI agents without such human-like faces?
The whole human-look-but-not-really-human thing weirds me out.
I feel like I’d be more open to an AI agent that looks like a cartoon. Give me AI agent Clippy, pls and ty.
Yes, even your signal chat. As soon as it goes beyond people you know face to face, just assume there's a fed there

Excellent! Support this troupe of LGBTQ+ kids.
A purple box with green text that says, "If trans kids who need puberty blockers can't get them, their mental health can get worse. Going on puberty blockers either improves their mental health, or keeps it on an even keel." The Science Vs logo is at the bottom right.
The Trump administration wants to end gender-affirming care for trans kids. Science Vs has a few episodes on this — here's one from a few years ago that covers some of the basics (and some of the inaccurate info out there).

Not to give away a secret spot or anything, but if you’re in Singapore and looking to chill with top-10-in-the-world pizza (srsly!), check out Puffy Bois.
Reposting to my network of people with the ability to make things happen. @honestlyeris.bsky.social is a musical composition talent and these ideas need to come to life.
These are absolutely beautiful ideas! I can *almost* feel how soul-moving they’re going to be and they don’t even exist yet.
Pls do them (and pls lmk if/how non-musical folks can help you make this happen)!

Overheard this past week:
“People think AI is perfect. It’s not, and to use it in ways that assume it is, is incredibly risky.”
I agree. The trick is figuring out how to mitigate this risk without massively over-regulating. Thoughts?
