"One party only needs 44% of the national popular vote to maintain control over the legislature" sure is a statement about the state of American democracy

AI shows ingroup bias towards AI content! If we deploy LLMs in decision-making roles (e.g., purchasing goods, selecting academic submissions) they will favor LLM agents over ordinary humans

I know multiple people who reported their cars stolen just to have the cops accuse them of trying to commit insurance fraud so they didn't have to bother investigating. Then the victims had to fight w their insurance companies for months bc of this. See also: Mike Birbiglia's car accident story.

Multiple times yesterday, Trump attacked decisions he made himself - because he can’t remember his first term. He then told a Unabomber story as his own, when it was actually a story Jeffrey Epstein used to tell. Mainstream media remains silent on his debilitating illness.

I'm about to do it. I'm about to say "imagine if Biden did this." I don't want to but I must, because it'd be very funny. Imagine if Biden said his uncle told him how brilliant the Unabomber was a decade before he was identified. Imagine the very funny NYT push notification you'd get on your phone.

This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT. The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.

This is one of those examples where, if the flood hadn’t happened and a camp director was telling you about this story it would be a perfect example of red tape, bureaucracy, the hassle of regulation etc. And yet.

The math on preventative health care for all is so blindingly obvious that everyone sees it except us. So we just keep paying the most money per capita for the worst outcomes and the most suffering, while for-profit health care manages its quarterly earnings.

Say what you will about Trump threatening to strip citizenship from his critics and have immigrants put into concentration camps in a swamp, but he never did anything truly power-mad like forgive student loans.

confident that if Biden were blackmailing Corporate Media into giving him $16 million in cash, Corporate Media would call him out for blackmail AND how that weakens freedom of speech, democracy, and our economy. instead, Corporate Media normalizes Trump Family corruption by treating it as business.

Thought I'd write something about how Elon Musk has access to every expert he could possibly need to understand stuff, and yet appears to simply believe any random chud on ExTwitter spewing utter nonsense. And why journalists should ask him about that.

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?
