It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

i always take a moment to appreciate good book cover design

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

I just want to say that I have known and become friends with many Iranian people over the years. They are funny and lovely with an astounding history and culture that includes some of the best humanity has to offer in terms of architecture, philosophy, art, and food. It doesn't have to be this way.

Genuinely, one of the best insights anyone has given me on the US is that the rest of the world does not understand it is actually two countries. The first is a Western advanced liberal democracy. The other a theocratic, impoverished, violent and corrupt third world country.

If you can’t sack your demented, insane president are you even a democracy?

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

There hasn’t been a liberal Supreme Court since 1969, 30 years before most Americans were even born

This country is determined to kill me via sheer rage. This baby's next chemo treatment is supposed to be TOMORROW. It's $2,000. That means they're $950 short. Can we raise $950 today to help a 3-y/o live, for the love of all that's holy? gofund.me/fd86ecc06

I hope these Boomers pull a Ginsburg and refuse to retire and croak right after the 2028 election, quickly followed by Roberts. The last time the Supreme Court had a clear liberal majority was in 1969. Almost 60 years ago.

The best thing about Alito and Thomas is that they'll be dead soon and I hope we have at least a Democratic senate by then

I like Bernie Saunders idea of reading the Epstein files for the filibuster against the SAVE act.

What is it like to exist in a bubble where everyone around you just "yes, ands" every insane and wrong and dumb thought that comes out of your head? "Bread was made up in 1869, before that it never existed" "talk more about that"

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

St. Patrick's Day is an immigrants' holiday. The NYC parade is still led by the "Fighting 69th," which battled Lee at Fredericksburg but began as an Irish militia against nativists. I wrote about how we can truly honor our immigrant ancestors this year: conorlambpa.substack.com/p/st-patrick...

According to Business Insider, roughly one in five Americans age 65 and over works, a twofold increase since the 1980s. Most of those still working are in Congress.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

I’m rewatching X Men 2 movie and I know Marvel’s mutants have always been a metaphor for the queer community but boy does it hit hard in the current trans discrimination era. e.g. “Can’t you just try not being a mutant?”

We just learned that 6,000 companies have contracts with ICE. Not just a few hundred. SIX THOUSAND. We have a lot of boycotting and demands to make, folks.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

The largest known age gap between Mick Jagger and a romantic partner is 52 years, during his relationship with Noor Alfallah. The couple was first linked in 2017 when Jagger was 74 and Alfallah was 22. They reportedly dated for approximately one year before separating in 2018. #AgeOfAttraction

Superman is probably the hardest superhero to get right (at least in the DC universe) in this age. The instinct is to darken him up, but that's not Superman. Even James Gunn fell into this trap. The Donner films were closer to core Superman than anything in the last 40 years.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
