We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

I had food from Cava once when visiting Denver. I recall enjoying it.

A short explanation of p-hacking and why it absolutely makes sense to ask HHS to release the study methods of their autism report in advance.

Please don’t Rich Men North of Richmond this nice man but this is a hell of a protest song. youtu.be/xOAeiRQsA4k?...

(Guardian) - Household electricity bills have increased by 10% since Donald Trump re-entered the White House, a new report has found, with its authors highlighting the impact of the president’s datacenter boosterism .. as part of the cause. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This morning I listened to the @volts.wtf podcast about how grid operators are curtailing less expensive generation sources ahead of coal. Here we have the administration forcing not just the use of more expensive and dirty sources, but perpetuating their existence!

A photographer friend of mine had one of her sd memory cards die after a photo shoot. She’s tried Easeus and it can recover about 1300 of 1600 files, but she’s asking if there are other tools/tricks anyone knows from the forensics community that might be able to get the rest. I have a feeling […]

My rant on Justice Alito’s homophobic misreading of Uncle Bobby’s Wedding in a horrible Supreme Court decision that will censor LGBTQ books in public schools. From UC Irvine Law’s Term in Review event last week! Watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/Zj3T7ZAxjYM?...

Leavitt: “As for the takeover of Gaza, I don't believe the President ever said that.” Trump in February: “The U.S. will takeover the Gaza Strip.”

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

It’s pretty wild that even on a really hot day yesterday, batteries were the largest source of power on the CA grid for a couple of hours. This has become pretty common this Spring. 🔌💡

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day. She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.

A reverse-Robin Hood situation… Congressional Republicans are trying to steal from the poor to give to the rich.

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Possibly the greatest Tesla takedown video ever - maybe the best thing ever

RFK Jr and Statistics:

Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.

This looks amazing. The White Christian Nationalist I'm writing about who was chair of the OR GOP in 1978-9 ran a bunch of MLMs in his day through which he ripped off people who trusted him, and he also got ripped off by a bunch of rich MLM'ers he trusted as well. Financially it was a wash for him.

I read the inaccurate article before hearing this. Please share.

REPORTER: Secretary Rubio, have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia? RUBIO: The conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the president and the executive branch, not some judge

Striking stat from @kellycnbc.bsky.social on this: The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.

Her adoptive parents assured her that she was a U.S. citizen because they are U.S. citizens. But that’s not how it works. And soon, she won't even be able to fly within the country because she's not eligible for a Real ID.

"This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what's going on. And it also shows the lengths Trump will go to" -- Van Hollen details how the photos appearing to show him and Abrego Garcia with margaritas were staged by the government of El Salvador

Amazing presentation by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social It is really depressing to see that what is happening now in the US resembles the past and present of many dictatorships/autocracies/kleptocracies. youtu.be/vK6fALsenmw?...

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In 100% seriousness: Has Bill Gates spoken out about this as vigorously as he could and should?

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 202,900 Americans employed as data miners in 2023, earning an average of $108K/year; and there were 7900 employed as miners, earning an average of $66K/year. And yet the one they're promoting now is ...

Thank you Fstoppers for making this video! I'm currently paying 27% import fees on prototype @openviro.com PCBs. My next import may very well be 50%. Guess what happens to my resulting MSRP or wholesale price? That's right, it goes up so I can still make money. And I haven't even sold anything yet!

This is what happens when you ask me to indulge your false equivalencies about the Trump tariffs.

Who did this?

Boy did this tweet age poorly.

This breaks down how tariffs work in a really useful way—how the increased costs cascade, for starters, but also how uncertainty and animosity puts grit in the wheels.

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting. The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

I've been using the atuin linux tool (thanks to @b0rk.jvns.ca ) recently and it has immediately made more of a difference to my productivity than any coding AI tool has to date.
