Despite industry leaders promising that agentic AI is the future, taking care of virtually all human tasks within the next few years #CarnegieMellonUniversity researchers just released a paper showing that even the best–performing AI agents fail to complete real-world office tasks 70% of the time

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!

U.S. visas can be denied for obesity, cancer and diabetes, Rubio says Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. will consider chronic health conditions and even factors like retirement age as reasons to deny visas to immigrants www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

80 people. Basically, Trump and Hegseth are prolific serial killers. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

“you can be disappeared” this is actually happening to people irl in this country, getting a temporary suspension from Bluesky is not the same thing. grow up

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

This is both A) incredibly suspicious, and B) within what I would accept as normal levels of government incompetence. So, you know, we'll see how the judge takes it.

Similar to people demanding troops patrol Ward 8, Detroit is not an actual place for a lot of people. It’s a stand-in for “urban blight” and “Black crime” so they’re very cavalier about suggesting a little more racism be directed there as a valve to their political problems.

"Police baked their own contempt into the data, listing people’s occupations as 'SCUM BAG,' 'TURD,' or simply 'BLACK.'" Great FOIA work from @sreynolds.bsky.social and reporting from @dell.bsky.social Worth noting this DHS-CPD partnership happened under Biden; no admin has had good DHS oversight.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Be careful what you share, Ivanka. Some of us actually read the rest of the story.👇

As everyone has pointed out, the guy is covered in racist-curious tattoos. But also, this is a lame, transparent attempt to deflect from the fact that his no beards policy is clearly aimed at and will disproportionately affect black men. "Hey look at all the silly white people we're pissing off!"

Actually, hypothetically… *could* they call Pope Leo as a witness? I doubt he’d come, of course, but he’s still a U.S. citizen, and registered to vote in Illinois (albeit in a county *next to* the one where the Broadview facility resides). religionnews.com/2025/05/09/c...

this has to be the single greatest image in the history of sports

ICE is just going to outsource the stalking of undocumented immigrants to random private investigators, is willing to spend $180 million on it: www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

For those who don’t remember, USIP was a *non-governmental* agency that DOGE sought to dismantle during the fascist raids to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. Accountability is mandatory.

people who have been claiming for years that journalists just make everything up are always amazed at how much there is in place to stop journalists making anything up

One small bright spot: valley fever isn’t contagious. But that bright spot is immediately offset by HOW I know that, which is that my sister lived in AZ for a month or two, managed to get valley fever in that time, and I had some questions when she got to NY still coughing.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

It’s Vyvanse. Looks like doses between 10 and 70 mg, with a couple batches at each dose included in the recall.

AUTHORS!! Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON? Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen. More here:

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Lucy said she’s going to hold the football this time

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the most comprehensive reporting released on the DHS-alleged shooting so far. Read the entire story (reminder: reporters don't usually choose headlines). For folks asking if it's true an ICE agent was shot: no, that is a verifiably false rumor. No injuries. A lot else remains in question.

I regret to inform you that The Menace just discovered the Mamdani sign generator

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

It’s small in the ocean of things to do but this week Spotify stock is in the toilet and this is why. Just like everything the administration does, these ads are absolutely disgusting, with lines like “millions of dangerous illegals are rampaging the streets” and “dangerous illegals walk free”
