A friend of mine is having a rough go of it. Any little bit helps. gofund.me/2910c2dd

All these "AI gone crazy" articles out there sound like this to me: "Machine that tells people what it thinks they want to hear tells people what it thinks they want to hear when they ask leading questions to get it to tell them the thing they want to hear."

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

“Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan

It didn't matter what the author meant by "the curtains are blue". What mattered was your ability to have an idea that's yours and prove you can defend it with evidence. It was not about getting the right answer, no more than going to the gym is. The exercise is the point. Your brain is a muscle.

Ya know, when Google+ came out I was like "we have Facebook already, no one needs this! But if Google+ came out today, I'd be like "sure, why not?" There just isn't a solid FB replacement out there. Bsky is alright, but it's more Twitter than FB and I wasn't ever a big Twitter person.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

In other news, The Trump Admin is outlawing ice cream and making it mandatory that a puppy is kicked at least once a day. Because the only policy this regime has is "Americans can't have nice things".

Daily reminder: This is still not normal.

Need this every time

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

How many months has this week been?

If this story didn't have today's date, I would've thought it was a Depression-era headline.

The @financialtimes.com is not mincing words "America’s astonishing act of self-harm" on.ft.com/3YjtOLV

JUST IN: The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave this morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress, Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it. Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it! Signed, Americans

History didn't start with us. It is not going to end with us. And in the fullness of time, these bastards will always lose and become the villains we read in textbooks.

Proposed in Florida: 14yo children to be cleared to work overnight shifts as the state looks to undercut low-end labor market with influx of child-labor. www.the-sun.com/news/1386596...

The news of the leak of life-and-death operational details to a reporter lands differently with veterans and active-duty troops, who can be prosecuted for much less significant "spillage" incidents.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

“That’s the thing about autocracy. It looks pretty decent while it still looks pretty decent. Survivable, anyway. And it keeps looking like that right up until it doesn’t. That’s how you find out it’s too late.” James S.A. Corey, Tiamat's Wrath (#TheExpanse, #8)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

Anyways...
