I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

It's "national security" to them because they have talked themselves into the notion that renewables are a sophisticated Chinese hoax, designed to drain the lifeblood of American power -- oil and gas. No, seriously. This is what they believe.

Interesting that weed is where CPD draws the line and not things like murder and white supremacy.

What’s happening at CBS News is a five alarm fire and portent of what’s to come, a nuclear assault on the very heart and soul of America. This is not hyperbole.

Never not disgusted when I go back to look at Alabama Medicaid eligibility. EIGHTEEN PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL??!?!?

Watch this cos the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT got pulled.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

theyre just all so far in over their heads, its astounding

And there’s the war.

the gall of this! and the gall of this being reported by the new york times. the appalling state of this industry will persist until people finally break the cycle and find another way.

We are Orban’s Hungary now. There are effectively no independent major media voices anymore. The government can spike stories at will.

the shitstorm that’s already brewing because of Bari’s decision to spike this story is going to end up being vastly more damaging to her and to the admin than allowing the story to air would have been she’s an evil propagandist hack but she is also very bad at doing it in a way that isn’t hamfisted

This is our job literally for the rest of our lives. That's just what it is. Dig in, find your organizing home, and get to work.

Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

You can't simultaneously tell me that it's too hard to use a trans person's pronouns and then turn around and call an AI chatbot "she." If you're giving less consideration to a human being than a fucking computer program, you're just an asshole.

I wonder at what level this was killed? Bari Weiss? Ellison?

lol holy shit

“when did you, jd vance, apologize for being white” feels like a pretty natural question for the press to ask the vice president now

Debugging existing code is harder than writing new code, precisely because you need to have a mental model of what that code is doing and what you want it to do. This is even more difficult if you don't already know the language you're using.

This also has a lot to do with every tech company getting rid of QA because it interferes with “velocity”. It’s as much an Uncle Bob sickness as it is an AI sickness.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.

the vice president is a klansman

This is Nazism.

White people will never again have to do that thing that white people have never had to do.

LLMs are kind of wild. You’re replacing the process of writing something with a proofreading process. You put in all this effort to understand the LLM output and then you have to review it incredibly closely, down to tiny details. It’s MORE WORK, and more error prone work.

I didn’t win the powerball but the winning numbers included 4, 20, and 69 so SOMEBODY won.

As federal agents descend on Chicago for more immigration raids, our analysis shows what happened to ~1,600 people arrested there this fall. We report how federal agencies moved them through an expanded network of detention facilities — many rife with complaints of inhumane conditions.

In the wake of the tragedy at Brown, online conspiracists rushed to pin the horrific mass murder on an innocent Palestinian student. One of them was Shaun Maguire, a partner at leading VC firm Sequoia Capital. www.fastcompany.com/91463942/seq...

Well, I’m glad that a rich VC is involved. When the student sues, they’ll be able to get a nice check.

to be clear, the Chicago Bears were down by 10 against the Green Bay Packers with 2:01 left in regulation.

Around half of San Francisco is without power right now and something like 1/3rd of intersections I drove through had waymos stopped in the middle of them making a dangerous situation even worse. Do not let Waymo into your city.

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused. Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.

Dude spent literally like 15% of his net worth on this. Could you imagine Bezos doing that? Musk?

Indiana, you can have this fucking poverty franchise
