In fairness, Bari Weiss doesn't know how to do that either.

As usual I have submitted my goals for the year and as usual they are structured for an entire army and not....just me. Oh well, it's work that has to be done.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

I can't stop laughing that they took his Twitter away, it's like punishing a child.

Oh no you guys the secret police have morale problems!

most ridiculous timeline

Yes, literally.

The largest Trump superPAC donor so far this cycle is the president of OpenAI

I’ve been thinking about the camps and what will need to be done before this ends.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

All the evidence one would need to impeach both Rubio and Noem was just posted to the AAUP v. Rubio docket. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

books about this era are going to heavily feature the failed Horst Wesseling of Kirk. it was the first place where the regime wanted something, got elite buy-in, and it blew up in their face

Alan, Ed Baldwin can't die until he's punched a planet (probably Venus, it knows what it did) right in its dumb planetary face

It was not a great idea to elect an anthropomorphized sundowning boomer's racist Facebook feed as president.

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

I suspect a number of people will resign from public schools in MSP after this, which is also part of the plan.

Apropos of nothing at all: no one likes us / we don't care.

And respectfully, RESPECTUFLLY, pretending "idiots vote against their own best interests because Eek, Brown People, and now everything sucks measurably more" is some uniquely American phenomenon is INSANE, to me. ESPECIALLY in the UK. Brexit was SIX YEARS AGO.

I would do it!

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality. I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

I am very okay with this.

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢 This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID. doi.org/10.1080/0958...

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

On the way to work I walk past a house with a camera that bellows HI! YOU ARE BEING RECORDED! at me on the sidewalk. I flip it off every day and it occurred to me there’s probably a reel of me somewhere doing this dozens of times in all weather.

fight! fight! fight! fight!

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found. On Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET, we’ll be on Reddit taking your questions about the continued fallout of slashing aid for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. 📌 Save the date:

So I have slightly more context for why the Bills let go Sean McDermott, though I am still bummed because I started following (and had the Bills Mafia lovingly adopt me) while he was the coach.

Thanks for making this video @taylorlorenz.bsky.social lets hope people listen and not accuse you of "calling everything you disagree with eugenics" and such as they did me and @xriskology.bsky.social 🙄 I don't know how much evidence people need.

Hi, maybe this will go further now that more people are learning about how hockey works but I said this when Carney got elected: dude was a goalie. A goalie. For fun. Nothing is going to scare this guy, but especially a blowhard with a huge ego is going to be like, his regular Thursday skate.

A thousand times yes. You can’t publish 40 papers a year and have thought at all deeply about each one. And you can’t run a massive, impersonal lab and produce happy researchers who want to stay in science. The work and the workers suffer. Do less, better!

I am genuinely horrified at the CSAM conveyer belt that X has become, and any professors who stay over there to complain about higher ed or its services should understand I don't have to take them seriously at all if that's where they're airing grievances.

No, the “big tent” doesn’t have to include Richard Hanania, for God’s sake.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Like I want yall to sit with this. There are Black children in this country with birth certificates that say they were birthed by white families. And nowhere on the cert does it say that the child is actually an adoptee. Does that make you uncomfy? It should

This analysis of papers from 1980 to 2025 goes beyond LLMs, but notes one challenge that arises when research questions rely on the same tools and datasets: “the adoption of AI seems to induce authors to converge on the same solutions to known problems rather than create new ones.”

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

My cousin is texting me to explain there is a “Tolkienesq” number of crows in PDX right now and my first thought was: why haven’t the goths taught them to attack certain agencies with distinctive uniforms?

Jesus gluten free Christ.

So enraging. It's everything I have been thinking about where and how people vacate whiteness in the eyes of the state.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Haha did they mess with the donors? Amazing clown car president.

Will be interesting to see who suddenly cares about the president’s weaponization of the Justice Department now that it might threaten their bottom line $$$
