Accidentally made Gemini roleplay as a fried egg when I googled a quote from Mixtape.

There's something fascinating and magical about the way some sorts of people, reasonably opposed to LLM use on reasonable grounds, nevertheless think that LLMs can definitely be used for one thing: detecting LLM use. Like thinking the undercover cop has to admit it if you ask directly

That's one hell of a stolen point for Houston

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

I see the New York Times front page has found a way to say "summertime is almost here and we're forecasting more gender!"

Republicans just passed a Don't Say Trans bill that would also require schools to out trans students in certain situations, even if doing so would put them in physical danger. Every student deserves to feel safe in school & see themselves reflected in school curricula.

anyway,

Hmm flooding the zone hasn't worked on me yet. I'm aware of all the events happening and I'm categorizing and processing all of them in a healthy and normal way. Possibly I am built differently

Tom Steyer is paying influencers to yap about him. Not all of them are disclosing it on their posts Billionaire Tom Steyer is paying influencers to boost his California governor campaign. State law requires they disclose it, but offers little accountability

It's interesting how different the effect of Trump's political endorsement is now compared to his first term.

Lmao

Now, you're talking about interpolation over the training manifold, and all these things you're talking about are totally information-theoretic things and a byproduct of them is, you've defined cognition out of human brains too.

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

LMAAAAAO

The person who originated this claim (Gregory Clark, 1986) walked it back when it was revealed that he came to this conclusion was because he was uncritically reading 13th century manorial records What those record actually reflected was labor *owed to the lord*, not the peasant's total labor

NEW: A California DA was prosecuting Stanford students for felonies over pro-Palestine protests. Bolts reported back in February that he was fundraising off these cases. Learning this, defense attorneys dug more, & filed a motion to force Rosen off the case for bias. A judge just removed him:

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

go fuck yourself

Republicans are bringing a hateful, anti-trans bill to the floor that would force educators to out transgender students and prohibit the teaching of any curriculum that recognizes the existence of transgender people. This bill is disgusting and I am proud to be vehemently against it.

Maybe the Cuban Florida contingent will now harbor a decades-long grudge against the Republican Party, too.

Let’s start #WorldBeeDay with the most important meme about the disparity between bee conservation efforts. Nearly all bee conservation efforts represent honeybees, a managed agricultural product easy to identify. Fortunately, bumblebees are getting some conservation love nowadays.

Here’s another skit conceived and directed by my 10 year old. I really like when the kids have ideas for Gracie’s posts and how they come out when we’re done. This one features 100% a real mayor.

You wanna feel some schadenfreude? Look at the YouTube view counts for the WaPo's new podcast (The terrible thumbnails also deserve a mention, yikes)

You might be wondering things like "what is this working paper" and "how and why is it adjusting for household size" and even "it can't really be saying the median income for a 15-year-old Gen Z in 2024 was $35,000 can it?" Let's find the paper and figure that out. 1/

Larry Bushart spent 37 *days* in jail for posting memes criticizing Trump and Charlie Kirk. His arrest was the crest of a wave of censorship after Kirk was killed. Now a Tennessee county will pay $835,000 to settle his First Amendment lawsuit, filed by FIRE. www.fire.org/news/victory...

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

2 things, 1. Massie's "anti-Trump" stand was never moral, it was never about victims or "waking up" its that Massie believes that the Epstein Files are the Protocols and will reveal the Jewish conspiracy 2. Massie never broke with Trump he was running ads saying he was the real Trump candidate

re-reading Today's Main Character's interview and an editor could very well have elided the entire controversial exchange, between "Absolutely." and "I remember back in the tech wreck". it's not germane and it adds nothing to the interview.

This concept absolutely informs how I dress; the main problem I had was that there wasn't quite a language for what I wanted to say (aside from how long it took me to figure out *what* exactly I wanted to say).
