New Jersey State Police push past barricades outside the Delaney Hall Detention Facility

confused that Nazi tattoo guy is somehow flawed

Trump: “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, DONALD J. TRUMP”

Good to see @velshi.com out there. This is fucking crazy.

NEW — I wrote about my visit to Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in Newark, NJ where detainees are on a hunger and labor strike in protest of rotten food, unpaid work, and unjust detainment, and where protesters outside have spent the last week drawing ICE's ire while keeping strikers' demands alive.

Ross Douthat is welcome to express his opinions anywhere he wants, but he gets to do so at the New York Times because they have affirmative action for white Christian nationalists.

A little bit of light reading as we wait for the interim final rule on Medicaid work requirements to drop (expected Monday afternoon, probably) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The president of the united states getting "Have you no decency" treatment from...the surviving halves of acts that were featured at my Junior High Sock Hop in 1989, incredible stuff. Like the Cold War if the Soviet Premier had a hit that peaked at #7 on the Top 40.

mom can you come pick me up Facebook Jews are even more insane than usual

1/ New #paper by Chuck Manski, @johnmullahy.bsky.social, and me in the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics (@amstatnews.bsky.social).

When I see an AI summary, I avert my eyes like I walked in on my grandmother changing clothes.

Our NIH-funded research - including as part of CREID - developed, deployed, and established capacity for many of the core tools and countermeasures used during outbreaks. Diagnostics, sequencing, monoclonals and vaccines. As we're facing a new foe with none of those, all that work, defunded. Gone.

i asked DHS if the protein from maggots counts towards the daily calorie standard at delaney hall.

we are dealing with actual nazis. that’s how they ought to be treated. stop confirming their judges. stop pretending bipartisanship is a virtue. they want to kill immigrants and they’ve been given billions to do it.

Any news orgs digging into claims in the Epstein Files that our current president allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl? Did we forget about that?

In the footsteps of justice Kennedy’s son who was Trump’s corrupt banker at Deutschebank.

At Delaney Hall now and detainees are chanting "libertad"

Faxes. Fucking faxes. If you're a healthcare person you know what I mean

i'm so sick of these jingoistic debates over who's a "real" american, they're so divisive. doesn't matter where your parents were born or whether you shower at night or in the morning, you're an american if azathoth has written your name into the register of sorrows and iniquities. it's that simple.

soft launching my parenting

Av vibes - early (but then it's been Av for years now)

next you'll tell me the swimming was also made up???

Jake Sullivan is at Harvard, Blinken is on CAP board, Jack Lew is at Columbia, McGurk is on CNN, Goldenberg is at J-Street, Gordon is advising half the 2028 field. No mea culpas, no apologies, no boycott, no censure, nothing nada zilch zero.

"“But let’s be real,” she continued. “It’s also a very small study, and the findings are quite preliminary, at best. Runners shouldn’t panic. There’s still so much more to learn.”" I'm going to pretend that my self-granted title as Slowest Marathoner in Maryland is protective in this regard......

"The village we were operating in belonged to wealthy people, full of villas with pools, luxury cars, jewelry. Almost every house had valuables... Once we realized that the area was clear, the real mission would begin – to find valuable stuff." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

At least Fetterman is participating in a hallowed Congressional tradition: continuing to serve far beyond one's cognitive capacity

“how should it cost? free?” fetterman texted. “hand stuck pickle jar” he added, “fetterman angry. no pickle”

good lord

terrible idea. proven repeatedly to be bad.

also med schools, public health schools, schools of nursing, bioethics schools. (in case anyone listens to me, which....no! but a guy can dream)

I'll have something coming out about this eventually but to say this killer was motivated by just "nihilism" is wrong: The killers glorified neo-Nazis They promoted Siege and ideas like "accelerationism" Their influences were ripped out of a "Terrorgram" documentary. www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

When I talk about the NYT being a provincial little rag, this is exactly what I mean. They cannot comprehend agriculture in higher education when it is ubiquitous in ag-heavy regions. Our local college is building a big ag center because it’s so popular

"I could be wrong" - Maimonides (Guide III, Introduction)

I mean look at Bezos. Yes ordering books online was an innovative idea. God bless. And how did Jeff get those books to people to make his billions? The post office that taxpayers built and subsidized for over 250 years.

I just read an essay about an AI translation of Aruch Hashulchan. I think translating Aruch Hashulchan is important. The article shows that one can do a pretty good translation of the AhS for $40, where "pretty good" means that 17% of the translation was mistaken in non-fatal ways.

really shouldn't have elected the worst, dumbest, most sociopathic piece of shit in the country as president. that, in retrospect, was something of a mistake

Dr Bhattacharya censored a study that showed Covid vaccines are effective Drs Prasad & Makary peddled a dangerous myth that Covid vaccines caused 10 child deaths—FDA’s analysis found zero child deaths that could confidently be attributed to Covid vaccines Why are they so opposed to vaccination?

Please don't be pedantic about the term "hallucination," at this point it is a specific term of art regarding "AI," and being annoying about it makes you sound like the people who get all shirty about someone using "sci-fi" instead of "SF" or whatever your favorite term is.

States that retain capital punishment must devote an inordinate amount of time and resources—taxpayer dollars—to defending a practice that does not deter crime or make anybody safer. It's so deeply pointless. Every peer nation has moved on from this archaic practice for good reason. It helps no one.

Does the writer of the AI generated story exist? Why do not have a statement from the writer? Who/what did they send the prize money to? I think the literary world is a laundering front

Trump cut USAID as part of his 'America First' agenda. But diseases like Ebola spread beyond borders. So here we are. A CDC worker: "We are so far behind in this outbreak. This is a perfect storm.”

Thanks for your question. I guess I’d say one thing that sets me apart from the other candidates is that I have been held in criminal contempt as a defendant on five separate and unrelated occasions.

Is Bezos stupid or evil?

WHEN WE OFFLOAD MITIGATION BURDENS ONTO PEOPLE WHO CAN'T PRETEND IT'S OVER, THE BURDENS BECOME EXPONENTIALLY MORE MISERABLE. We then conveniently look at the compounded and totally unnecessary misery and conclude that any mitigation at all is inherently miserable.

New and improved Google Search will confront users with the socially constructed nature of “finding” things.

i'm such a phlistine: I read the first few paras of the award-winning Granta story, I can't tell whether it's human or AI, but it's bad! this is why I write rejected poetry and not rejected prose :)

In an unconfirmed livestream video of the mass shooting, the shooters appear to both be wearing black sun (nazi) patches and AWD (atomwaffen division) patches. Writings on the gun include the logo for the nazi accelerationst group The Base, the numbers 14 and 88, TND, and the othala rune.
