You'll put down strangers, Kill them, cut their throats, possess their houses, And lead the majesty of law in line, To slip him like a hound.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

An unranked, non-exhaustive list of reasons why I swing kettlebells around. 1. My family has all the metabolic curses. 2. I want to be able to open my own jars. 3. I want people to say "Wow" when I am called upon to lift items like mop buckets and suitcases.

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject

For more than one hundred years, the norm in American politics was the Presidents would not have more than two terms. After FDR broke that norm we amended the Constitution to make sure it didn't happen again. I keep thinking about how many amendments we're going to need to clean up this mess.

The Trump Administration is lying to the American people and breaking American law.

#TINYBABYTERRAPIN ALERT! Another year, another tiny baby terrapin.

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

I don’t talk about this publicly, but hegseth drives me out of my silence. I attended West Point from 1998-2000. I left, along with about 5 other young women, as a direct result of the military’s then-shameful (non) policies addressing sex harassment and assault.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Always loved that Arby's/coal fact, and the coal industry has shrunk a lot since then. The piece also noted more people work in museums than in coal..... (and Mr. Weinstein is responding to yet more coal-industry welfare in the name of jobs.)

We know how this ends. They've made movies about it.

Of course the Trump administration assumed the press wouldn't try to find out more. They've been almost entirely complicit. Even this article stuffs it down deep. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/w...

I racked up 30K steps over two days in Chicago last summer, more than half of them on the south side. Rand Paul is lying.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

All this way, thought Zaphod, all this trouble all this not-lying-on-the-beach-having-a-wonderful-time, and for what?

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead: #academicsky

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

Why national service won't make our farms work, a short thread. I, a city girl, worked on a campus dairy farm in college, part time for a semester and full time for a summer. It was always exhausting and occasionally dangerous. 1/5

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Sir Cinnamon Roll would like one attention please.

I dunno who made this but I applaud whoever did. Perfection.

Cuomo could never.

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

In 2024, teachers earned 73 cents for every dollar their similarly educated peers made, on average. A record low. In 1996, the gap was much smaller: 94 cents to the dollar. We can fix this—by investing in public education. The full report from @epi.org lays bare the challenge—and the solution.

Every year I forget how much baking soda is required to get this going fast enough, and then I have to run around adding it to everyone's cup in first period. This year I need to put a sticky note on the supplies so future me will know. #edusky

We need three day weekends: one day for your home, one day for your people, and one day for you.

“What has changed in society to lead to this devaluation of education, where we don’t prioritize teachers and appreciate the education of kids?”

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

This took me an hour, but it was satisfying. There are tiny gaps between the petals that I think I'm going to fill in with a reddish orange. The page is from The Hidden Creatures Coloring Book by ASE Balko.

I don't care about cars, but I really want to drive one of these.

Scout loves you too.

Everybody check in with your group chats. Make sure they didn't get raptured and leave you behind.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

If you want to live in a civil society, shame is a necessary component.

The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) is a world leader in agricultural research, a model of American exceptionalism, and a standard we can’t afford to lose. The Trump Admin's attempt to close BARC is misguided and wrong. Team Maryland is committed to saving BARC.

An important distinction in these times. www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-i...

You might need this, too... "You feel both big and little when you’re out in that restored prairie. This healed land is now the healer."

“Patient safety is our top priority. There is no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children,” [Dr Alison Cave, chief safety officer at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)] said on Tuesday.

From the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. If you are pregnant, listen to your obstetrician for guidance on what's safe and recommended.

Just doing a little primal scream. Feel free to join in. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Mental health is health. If you have sick leave then mental health is a valid reason to take it.

Tylenol does not cause autism. There is no casual link. It's all ice cream and shark attacks. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Lifting heavy things clears my head. The more stressful things are, the heavier the kettlebell required.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Short answer: No. Long answer: the rapture is not a Biblical concept and nobody knows the future. #TEC

Occasionally a student will jokingly offer me bribe to change their grade. I always tell them if they can't give me enough money to send my kids through college and allow me to never work again it's not worth risking my job. $50K is laughable.

This is why basic statistics should be required in high school.
