These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

❗️🇩🇪German defense company Rheinmetall plans to soon produce 1.5 million 155mm shells per year — more than the entire 🇺🇸American industry combined.

❗️🇨🇦Canada has announced a large-scale military aid package for 🇺🇦Ukraine, timed to coincide with the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion Ottawa will transfer to Ukraine more than 400 armoured vehicles, including: - 66 LAV 6 armoured personnel carriers - 383 Roshel Senator armoured vehicles

In other words, doctors selectively used the AI stethoscope on dramatically older, sicker patients. Presumably when they had good reason to suspect a heart problem. It is no surprise then that more heart problems are found in these patients! 🧵 12/

This however is not what makes the headlines. Instead the press release blurts out that the "AI-enabled stethoscopes show promise for improving diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions" How is this possible, when the result - unequivocally - showed no benefit between the randomised groups? 🧵 3/

i always keep on telling them "no! i don't! none of this is inside information. there's a place called bluesky and people....post links to information about foreign affairs!" rofl

A good use of Tom Steyer's money! www.sfexaminer.com/news/state/s...

another thing I think people are doing is taking Epstein's own bullshit about himself at face value, when he was a serial liar! this is pretty common in both the world of the rich and intelligence.

This is a deeply incorrect statement. You don’t set precedent by suing every gaming company in the world, that’s not how legal precedent works. You sue one with the hope the rest will see the problem and change their business model. It is profoundly serious and you’re wrong.

In 1945 America found itself leading a world it knew very little about, and then spend a good chunk of the 50s purging those who did know on the grounds they were left-wing and/or gay.

Good excuse to post my favorite book excerpt about this era.

DC’s interim police chief, Jeffery Carroll, is testifying right now in the DC Council’s oversight hearing for MPD. He just said that he doesn’t know of any instance of MPD violating the Sanctuary Values Act in the last 6 months. This reporting is from today:

A combination of this plant running under an expensive "reliability must run" agreement, data centers, severe transmission constraints in MD, and competition between gas heating and gas electric gen for fuel is strangling this region www.bayjournal.com/news/climate...

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

I think people should know that the person who took the position below is a member of the Texas bar and that her name is Mary Larakers.

I hate how Florida being the closest state to Cuba means "98% probablity of government goons with bad idea / 2% probability crypto bros from Miami being idiots"

💥BREAKING: Viktor Orbán ordered the military deployed to guard “key energy facilities,” citing a possible Ukrainian “attack” to disrupt Hungary’s energy system. The move fuels fears of a staged national security emergency or false-flag incident ahead of the April 12 elections. This is really scary.

anyone remember this did the dems ultimately line up to cheer venezuela fuckery or nah bsky.app/profile/frit...

I'd believe something from axios or punchbowl before I'd trust anything she puts out has even a grain of truth to it

This story is total BS, the claim is completely false- they aren't trying to stop the vote, in fact the committee she refers to is working to build support for the resolution. Her sourcing for the story if you read it is one anonymous staffer speculating about another staffer's whip count guess

I have a burner account on Twitter because you need one to see people’s feeds. I follow a pretty standard set of left-leaning accounts. I’m not exaggerating: more than half the FY feed is messaging like this from people I don’t follow.

It’s not true that vaccines only reduce severity. Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, as well as the risk of long COVID.

Get this fuck ugly Name The Jew shit outta here you scumbag.

Congratulations to accused sexual assaulter Jason Latour on his new @imagecomics.com book!

In September/October 2024, I asked a population-based US sample via NORC about their sympathies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict & their presidential leanings. Here's how the results break down, with presidential support (columns) given conditional on sympathies (rows).

*My* preferred ethnic group's romantic self assertion would be good. For we suffered bad things, which obviously makes my armchair fantasising about apocalyptic violence meted out upon our enemies good. Totally unlike groups who do bad stuff, who obviously have no similar excuses in their own case.

100% they would have ruled the other way had it been a black USPS employee doing this during a Dem admin.

“Any mail that’s getting dropped into a blue box is not getting postmarked on the same day, and likely not on the day after either,” says the leader of a postal workers’ union. This could have tremendous implications for voting:

I don’t think politicians appreciate how bad fire departments are at anything involving reviewing documents, whether it’s fire alarm plans or street designs. It slows things down tremendously every time we give a FD a task like that, because it is very far from why anybody ever became a firefighter.

Listen...these dudes changed the locks on her mailbox They marked her mail undeliverable and returned it to the sender They blocked her & her tenants from receiving doctor’s bills, medications, credit card statements, car titles, property tax statements, & more ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

A self proclaimed Marxist-Leninist being openly racist against a Muslim man? Yeah, that checks out.

I'm so old I remember when a lot of pundit energy went into the question of whether Joe Biden, and before him, Barack Obama, was doing enough to "bring the country together."

remember: we are kinda rooting for corruption here because the alternative is effective spending and we do not want this to be effectively spent

The trick is to put a word that *he used* into the mouth of a hypothetical critic. then they look like idiots for critiquing him on this score. But he started it, and shame on him for thinking we are that stupid.

I genuinely love the design of WMATA stations

So when do we get to the part of the AI revolution where my large pdfs don't take so long to save or are not so unwieldy and difficult for an average computer to handle keeping open and manipulating?

perhaps the most striking demonstration that permissioned stablecoin systems can enable mass surveillance. Please stop stressing the anonymity narrative Total control of new monetary infrastructure will allow them to cut and freeze and choke with even more precision www.ft.com/content/cf4f...

Dems are blasting clips all over their channels, but the replies are instead people who did not watch them yelling about Dem collaboration, a thing that did not happen.

By promoting the writer who says Blacks need to be policed harder and dismisses Epstein concerns as a hysterical attack on age gap relationships, Jared Polis, Matt Yglesias, Gavin Newsom etc. signal their anti-woke bonafides. Basically “I’m not like those other libs, I’m one of the cool ones.”

It should also end any discussion of whether parallels to authoritarian regimes are entirely appropriate at this stage

They literally set this up.

Both bulls and bears will now attempt to utilize creative fiction blog posts to support their narratives, and much of it will be AI written. Meanwhile any institution with compliance regulations will continue posting boring, reality-based analysis. Not an ideal dynamic.

Speedy Trial Act basically requires trial within 70 days from indictment, tho the clock pauses for pretrial motions If gov’t violates, sanction isn’t automatic; defendant must move to dismiss, and judge may grant with or without prejudice Here, Judge Magnuson dismissed _with_ prejudice = game over
