FINAL: 49ers 42, Bears 38. Caleb Williams' last effort falls incomplete. The Bears fall to 11-5.

The combination of federal funding cuts and rising prices is making it difficult for many food pantries to meet rising needs. Please consider supporting your local food pantry during this busy holiday season.

A thread.

Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Respectfully, if the @thepwhl.com wants to expand into Chicago and will have games in the Allstate Arena, this venue has GOT to fix its technical issues. It’s embarrassing. #pwhltakeovertour

What a shameful question. First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES. Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean? CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

Some GREAT news!!!!!

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

"They said the release of thousands of pages of photographs and heavily redacted documents did little to shed new light on the investigations and the scope of Mr. Epstein’s crimes or conspirators...'proving everything we have been saying about corruption and delayed justice,' said Jess Michaels."

Once more for the folks in the back: YOU. CANNOT. DISCRIMINATE. AGAINST. THE. GROUP. WHO. HOLDS. ALL. THE. POWER. Equal rights does not mean fewer rights for you.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas. In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station." Read the declarations here: www.aclu.org/documents/fo...

Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, for allowing our beloved elders the same end-of-life dignity that we allow our pets. The needless suffering of so many patients and their families is at an end. ❤️

Quid pro peace prize.

Imagine how many amazing authors-to-be will never get their books published because so much money was spent on this talent-free asshole

Watching people humanize ChatGPT while dehumanizing literal small human children is one of the most fucked things about this era.

What a headline. NOW they’re worried? Give me a break.

The only thing I’m hearing is that white supremacy is a curse.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday. AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Obvs a Netflix merger would suck. But this? Trump allies (with Orange Jabba’s help) take control of a conglomerate that includes CNN. CNN, run by right-winger Bari Weiss (currently running CBS News into the ground) quickly becomes Fox News Jr. Just in time for the 2026 election news cycle.

Since 2024 I've seen jobs on sites like Indeed listed as "librarian" but are just $20 p/hr AI training jobs. They all require a BA (which is both unnecessary for data training and also not an MLIS which is actually required for a librarian job).

Once more for the people in the back: 🗣️ EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT LAWS! The reason Orange Jabba uses them is because he knows he can’t get Congress to write and pass actual laws. P.S. AI sucks and this is yet another reason that should tell you how much.

"Trump says he will sign an executive order, ending gravity and directing the sun to rise in the west." That's how y'all sound when you repeat what he says his EOs will do without noting that he has no power to do that thing via EO.

And by new demands, they mean AI.

Since President Trump's second inauguration, the number of local police departments agreeing to coordinate with ICE has grown by more than 600%. Deputizing police to be deportation agents doesn't make us safer. Communities nationwide are fighting back. 

More than 100 children affected by immigration enforcement in the Chicago-area will be receiving gifts this holiday season as part of a community gift-giving effort.

Since Nov. 5, Trump has removed tariffs for several goods imported from at least 7 countries. It seems like he's rushing to close trade deals in case the administration’s tariffs leverage is taken off the table by SCOTUS talkingpointsmemo.com/news/it-sure...

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls." time.com/7335723/auto...

I just… *screams into the void*

Commentary: I’m a teacher in an American school who is inundated by AI-generated work masquerading as human thought. But I still go to work.

You’ll be visited by three spirits. The three spirits:

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

A harbinger of what’s to come for K-12 schools if it is infiltrated by AI. Fake teachers grading fake work and accusing student work of being fake while faking their work— all in service of billionaires and their profit and political goals.
