Scarlett Johansson claiming that Sam Altman reached out to her prior to 4o's release, wanted to use her voice, and when she declined, went ahead with it anyway. If true -- not a good look for OpenAI as it's trying to make partnerships w/ Hollywood industry

As a victim of the #GirlBoss era, I really need someone to write about the takedowns of female founders where they take away EVERYTHING they built: Kim Bryant, Cat Hoke, Audrey Gelman, Nancy Lublin. Like do y’all want businesswomen to be successful or suicidal wtf??

Omg this is so smart of @Snapchat and so overdue, dark skin deserves more praise and pampering. Because of bad lighting, I didn’t even know I was hot until my 30s - sad! So glad new generations of brownies won’t miss out - thanks @Snap ! 📸🍫😍

Please stop asking therapists to say mental illness is the sole cause for mass murder: 1 Most mentally ill people are peaceful 2 Therapy is voluntary so you can't make anyone go & even then most will deny homicidal thoughts, and 3 It's easier to get an AR-15 than a therapy appt

#BreonnaTaylor ’s life was essential. She was killed in her home, by police, during a pandemic 💔 Her killers have still not been arrested. We need justice and systemic change to the entire US legal system. Black women should not be erased from this moment #BlackLivesMatter

Breonna Taylor is heavy on my mind and heart. Thinking of what was done to her in a time that frontline workers were being praised. How it wasn’t enough for the masses to mobilize. How quickly the erasure begins. Lifting her name now and forever.
