a colleague in my dept has instituted a test format of a 3-min presentation and a 3-min question period from the prof. it's become evident in doing so that over half his students have no clue what they've been submitting essays on (it seems they haven't written a word of the essays)

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

Musk is also going on about Lee Kuan Yew, the fascist who oversaw Singapore’s rapid economic development in the 2nd half of the 20th century. No coincidence that two of Lee’s favorite weapons were detentions without trials and suing opponents for defamation. Oh and he was a eugenicist.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

This coming Thursday I am at Waterstones Gower Street talking 10 years of Children of Time with Temi Oh. www.waterstones.com/events/celeb...

who was that political writer from back on Twitter that I used to follow who used to taunt us all with his baking creations? possibly Canadian but I can't remember.

here's my compromise: 1) parents can fuck off 2) kids should be vaccinated their right to health is much more important than your right to be a selfish ignorant jerk

it's really hard to make a good one that has enough strength to sustain but that dissolves deliciously.

I dunno but it looks like two people could screw in it

Whoops! 😂

Trump is still screaming "Stand back and stand by" as loud as he can.

Don't let the authoritarianism blind you to the massive grift. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

Arsenal’s lead over Chelsea in second is larger than Chelsea’s lead over Liverpool in 11th.

Here's the thing. We need him to show us *something* about having learned *anything* and so far he isn't. The next international break is the end of March though, so might as well give him the year. 😭 www.thisisanfield.com/2025/11/the-...

So, the question is, did Trump know it was a Russian wishlist when he was pushing Ukraine to accept it by Thanksgiving? Or does he know absolutely nothing about anything going on in the entire administration and just spouts whatever nonsense people tell him?

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

I, for one, have only really thought about the VRA through the prism of federal elections, not local elections. But this well-reported piece reminds us that ending the VRA will have an impact on ALL levels of representative government. Via @pascalsabino.bsky.social. boltsmag.org/voting-right...

Can you spread the word about weaintbuyingit.com? This is one of the easiest and safest ways possible to fight back against the current administration. If you've been saying there's nothing you can do - you're wrong! All you have to do is not buy from Amazon, Home Depot, or Target for five days.

I'm skeptical that Trump's make Ukraine surrender plan wasn't real. Trump envoy Witkoff negotiated it, details and threats to Ukraine were public for multiple days, and Rubio didn't dispute it then, only after the plan got a bad reception and rejected by Europe. Look like attempting to save face.

in for a repeat of last time they tried to do a coup in venezuela?
