New York sours are beautiful

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.

Vote against the funding bill and shut this shit down.

The agent who murdered Renee Good had 18 years of experience, @baldwin.senate.gov. Stop claiming it's training that's the problem. I'm a constituent and this is embarrassing. Don't "get ICE out of Minneapolis." Get ICE out of business completely. And if you won't, make way for those who will.

pro-tip: if you're not indian, don't fucking talk about us like this

If only you were in a position of power to exercise some kind of leverage against the administration to make this happen.

Fuck ICE

So much good stuff in Jake Kemp's take on Christian Parker, but this bit may be my favorite. Jake always arrives at a viewpoint I wish I thought of: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Bueckers’ 2025 WNBA rookie base salary was $78,831. Giving $50,000 from winning the Unrivaled FT contest is rad.

Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings, Breeze FC) is donating $50,000 to relief efforts organised in response to ICE raids in her hometown of Hopkins, Minnesota. On Monday Bueckers won $50,000 in the #Unrivaled free throw competition after successfully scoring 13 free throws. (Source @brwsports)

All of this!!

I've got "One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life" rattling around in my head w/ "I will sacrifice some length of my days to add depth to another person’s experience of the rest of theirs". Don't clearly see connection (yet) but I think there's something there

You absolutely don’t want that smoke from people who ate horseshit to celebrate the first eagles Super Bowl & throw batteries at Santa

I will never not find joy and smile whenever I replay Dak saying “Yeah, here we go” in my head

Calling a timeout there is a disaster! If you fail with three timeouts, you can still get the ball back using your timeouts with a stop. Now, the game's down to one play.

"Read the papers you are citing" is SUCH an important point, and it seems like almost no one ever does it. If you do it, it's a scientific superpower! In my experience researching, consulting, and expert witnessing I'd say at least ~30% of the citations I come across are just flat out wrong.

Let me ask you one question. Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could? I think you will find when your death takes it toll all the money you made will never buy back your soul.

overthrowing govs, sending people to detention facilities for torture, cutting taxes for the rich, slashing social spending for the poor, increasing military spending, promoting christian nationalism, demonizing gays, surveilling citizens under "national security." same old GOP.

This partially motivated me to make cherry bounce the last few years, as I wasn’t certain that I’d get cherry heering. Happily enough, it made an even better Singapore slings & blood & sands

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

{toggle} does one thing: adds a button to hide code output in #quarto docs. Took two versions to do that one thing well. Now it works everywhere... tabsets, callouts, nested containers, you name it. 📚 quarto.thecoatlessprofessor.com/toggle/ 🐙 github.com/coatless-qua...

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

Manually making bib entries remains unbeaten. One of my biggest pet peeves is the inconsistency (esp in capitalization, journal titles/abbreviations, fields printed) you get when you use bibtex entries from scholar or journal sites (or invented whole cloth if you’re using an LLM)

NFL broadcasts basically only work because TV has been a unionized business for a long time so naturally Netflix and Amazon look like children comparatively

When Google search launched, people didn’t need to be berated into it. There was no “you better figure out some way to use this.” People just tried it, quickly saw it directed them to information they sought and helped them navigate the internet, and kept going back to use it more. Just sayin’.

I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but apparently a lot: If you are not in a position to verify the accuracy of some synthetic text, the synthetic text is not useful/has a high potential to be misleading. This is one of those cases.

Go read my brilliant colleague’s book!

Yet one more reason we cannot allow LLMs to serve as epistemic grounding is that we cannot triangulate among them the way you can among reasonable independent sources. They bullshit in the same way and end up agreeing with one other about things that are completely false.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Badgers 🏐!!!!

Brandon Aubrey fake field goal alert 🚨

I think the key word here is "and": So-called "AI" systems don't do what is advertised AND involve labor exploitation AND perpetuate biases AND are environmentally ruinous. I don't think we should drop the environmental angle.

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

Was lucky enough to attend a screening of this in Madison a few weeks ago. Can't recommend it highly enough!

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Messed around with this year's #BigDataBowl data. In each frame, I (i) simulated remaining path (lines) while conditioning on all prev. positions (dots) ; and (ii) computed posterior predictive prob. of completion, INT, etc. Lots left to refine (esp. conditional prior mean of DB's trajectory)

Infuriating.

You know that thing Coco Chanel said about accessories? “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off” We should all do that but with about 50% of the text we put in slide decks. TAKE. IT. OUT.

Go to a gym, press some buttons to have robots lift the weights, then wonder why you’re not any stronger

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Nothing like a Landry Shift on Thanksgiving.

Your #DallasCowboys beat the 2 Super Bowl teams from last year in 5 days!!!!!

Dak is insane.

Students applying for grad school, or reaching out to professors. I have an important piece of advice for you: STOP DOING THIS 👇 (a thread) #STEM #PhD #gradschool #academictips
