Yes surely the man who thinks proper nutrition guidelines can include road kill and raw milk can be trusted to do the right thing. Like knowing rfk, his definition of ultra processed is going to include pasteurized milk because thats a process

What if taxing the rich works?

Lads, what are we doing here?

I haven't had a long enough breath to talk about how AI is ruining the open web. API after API I used to use is closing - literally because paying the $$$ required to feed these impersonation machines is prohibitive.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

absolutely incredible ending to this saga

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

This is 100% true, and also I know teenagers who have realised that they can no longer support the HP world as it gives her money she uses to destroy lives. It's not actually that deep or a hard realisation to come to!

Controversial but - students *perceive* they have been failed when what has happened is they have failed to understand information retrieval is a skill requiring effort. I don't believe a zero friction experience is realistic or desirable in learning, actually.

2006 internet: RSS feeds, forums, communities of hobby blogs, where people post about interior design, fashion, and music for free 2026 internet: sponsored content, paid partnership, buy my merch, try my supplements, invest in my crypto, click link in bio to unlock the secrets of life for $30

a hill I will die on is that when we talk about what tech does to our psychic and interior lives, the need to permanently soundtrack every moment of the day and the resulting discomfort with silence should be on par with questions around screen time

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Brits: Please scream. This is a Labour govt proposing to hand the property of individual British workers to largely US corporations. @davidpintod.bsky.social

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History of American Politics, 1865-2026

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

so glad to see the repatriation work of my colleagues continue to produce solid relationships and equitable results: www.ed.ac.uk/news/native-...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

We have a new vacancy in my team if anyone’s looking for a change in the new year.

Why can't they just analyse their data? Why is any computation or statistics called AI now?

I dunno man, if you can’t keep 20% of the people you lead to hold the line, maybe you’re not up for the job?

Today’s fun tax tip… (It’s a similarly daft situation that railways pay tax on fuel/energy but airlines don’t pay any tax on their aviation fuel, a huge hidden subsidy) youtu.be/dr9MH0NuUtg?...

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

It's been great to see the close collaboration between our Digital Collections Project Team and the UX team on this!

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

you could solve a lot of parking issues by switching the whole system so that you are only allowed to park where there are bays marked, rather than having to have lots of lines to show where you can't

Always worth reading Rabbi Danya p.s. Mamdani never said globalize the intifada, so don't respond with the notion that he did. READ THE THREAD.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

you know I'm beginning to think that these people aren't 100% on the up and up.

Gavin Newsom, a schmuck who has spent every waking moment the last 10 years of his life thinking about political optics, getting dogwalked by a guy half the country didn't even know existed like 5 days ago
