if you ask students to list the causes of the Irish famine and they just say “the Irish are demonic” can you really not fail that kid?

Sooo here's a little public records request I just made to the University of Oklahoma.

republicans believe poor people deserve to suffer because they're lazy and weak, whereas the democrats have a much lengthier explanation

I like how every six months or so we get a big "This Obscure Fasicst Thinker Is Key To Understanding The Modern Right" and without fail every one of those is the biggest loser you've ever heard of writing the stupidest articles you've ever read for Racism Monthly

Lord help me, read Andy McCarthy. www.nationalreview.com/corner/we-in...

"All my classmates are all just conforming to the same opinion, unlike me, the nonconformist freethinker" "So what's your opinion?" "That nonconformity is bad and that everyone should conform"

“I do not necessarily see [teasing] as a problem.” *gets teased* “This is a major problem!!”

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The numbers in here are hilarious. Do you use AI on the job? Execs: 87% Managers: 57% Workers: 27% Planned investment by 2030: $5T "Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B Current annual revenue: $50B

With all the worthy artists and entertainers struggling to just survive these days, The New Yorker wants us to focus our interest in that old chestnut, Louis C.K.'s redemption arc. Keep it up, mainstream corporate legacy media. You guys are crushing it.

Dear Leader is erasing history now: Sound familiar? #HistoryMatters

This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”

BTW, any story about a possible Northwestern capitulation should include this detail (screenshot is from the oped linked below)

"Some have said it's extortion, others claim it is extortion (good)"

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days

Right, the answer to the question “can the president issue a valid pardon for the assassins he sent to successfully kill the Congress that was impeaching him” has to be no or the underlying structure of the Constitution makes no sense

Be more direct and just offer to replace the court itself under the same terms.

to SCOTUS: "we can prosecute the people he pardoned, or a future Democratic president can have them shot and then pardon the shooters. do you want that loop to start?"

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

S Carolina bill to execute women who have an abortion

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

They believe that Trump will use the formal powers of the government and whatever informal powers he may have to extract costs from them if they do not play ball and they equally believe that the anti-Trump coalition will not extract these costs. So we need to extract those costs.

Also people won't care about the DC shooter in a week. Look at Charlie Kirk. And every school shooting.

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

a young woman who signed up to serve her community and our narcissistic, despotic president decided to use her as a prop for his ego

posting so bad you get nick furied by walmart is extremely funny to me

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback. www.reuters.com/investigates...

ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her This is cruel entrapment

i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

it's hard to get your mind around how irredeemably broken this country has become. no one in charge at this time seems to understand even the basics of our system of government as written or our stated set of values as a secular society

i think that it occurs because it's a multitoken attn state change operator which minimizes KL penalties. the penalty is evaluated at logits for every individual token and every word in it is in the 95% nucleus for almost any given token sequence (X and Y being prior state and new state).

one thing that's interesting is that "it's not X--it's Y" construction does not occur with high probability in any corpus LLMs are trained on, and yet every LLM produces it with high probability

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

They did it again! NYC subway Thanksgiving 2025, via @scootercaster.com!

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Happy Thanksgiving

I braced myself before playing the video, because I can't listen to trump without stabbing out my eardrums. But...I was fine. I could listen to him! For the first time since 2014, I didn't want to slit my own throat! This PROVES BEYOND ALL DOUBT that this was AI generated.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Everything we build, every candidate we lift up, every win we celebrate, it’s because of this community. A message from our president + co-founder, Amanda: thank you for being the reason this work moves. Happy Thanksgiving 🧡
