Oh…

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?

This is a man who understands the concept of "enough".

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?" -- Henry II, Christmas 1170, leading to his knights murdering Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket. It really *is* a pity Trump doesn't, can't, or won't read, isn't it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_no...

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

It's like one of those jokes where every statement must somehow be false.

The level of ignorance Loomer displays is just staggering.

It’s clear, based on the right hand screenshot, that CDC political leadership (such as it is) wants to remove “Vaccines do not cause autism.” Everyone who voted for Trump or sat out the election owns this.

This is objectively true and requires no viewpoint diversity

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

It's amazing how *explicit* the racial and religious bias is. And that we, somehow, quiver helplessly before them, unable to stop it.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Classic racist thinking: immigrants are so infested with disease, even their cows are sick. (As if an immigrant brings a cow.)

Got a case now where they refused to give a pretrial detainee his insulin until he fell into diabetic ketoacidosis and died.

ACIP has posted a draft agenda for their upcoming meeting on 12/4 and 12/5. Alarm bells are blaring. They are going to spend the entire first day talking about the vaccine schedule. There is no evidence whatsoever that there is any danger whatsoever with the current vaccine schedule.

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Why do I hear a voice whispering, "adverse inference"?

Rooting for Marc Elias to be the next AG when this nightmare ends.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Firing the watchdogs doesn’t erase the crime.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

If you are also a scientist, sure. If you aren't, like these guys, you should probably shut the fuck up and let the people whose opinions matter talk.

Toddlers don't have to eat vegetables, a new classified toddler memo announced.

I don't think you can understand... hell, quite a lot about recent American politics... without appreciating what it means that revelations of institutional sex abuse have repeatedly torn through major conservative social institutions like the Black Death.

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know

There are certain fights that you need to either never pick in the first place or be certain you're willing to see all the way through. The shutdown was one of them.

Wild how the “fiscal conservatives” never seem to arrive at the conclusion that a better behaved force could save hundreds of millions across the country. It’s almost like they aren’t really serious about saving taxpayers money.

Anybody betting on how long until this gets ‘fixed’?

Right on the nose.

Faust. How comes it then that thou art out of hell? Meph. Why this is hell, nor am I out of it. Think’st thou that I who saw the face of God, And tasted the eternal joys of Heaven, Am not tormented with ten thousand hells, In being depriv’d of everlasting bliss? – Marlowe Faustus I iii

Which do you think is more likely: (a) that they *really* don’t understand how insurance works (risk pooling), or (b) that they’re willing to *pretend* not to understand, to score rhetorical points by “blaming” the sick & the poor? The latter is particularly egregious for alleged Christians.

I struggle to understand people who hoard power just to refuse to ever use it.

This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

A study with data from ~14 million children shows that COVID19 infection is significantly more harmful to kids’ hearts than the vaccine. Marty Makary falsely alleged that “children died” because from COVID19 vaccine. Whomever told him that failed to account for SARS-CoV-2 infections. Link below.

And there it is...

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Absolutely correct

He’s not only stupid & cruel, but insists he has the power to force you to be stupid & cruel, as well.

“.. if anything, [OpenAI’s] endless barrage of statements, interviews, and communications .. is starting to become counterproductive (anyone, whether it’s a company or politician, that insists on saturating media cycles .. usually isn’t doing so from a place of confidence).” - Vital Knowledge

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Trump Says U.S. Visas Can Be Denied to Fat People From Now On New State Department guidance encourages embassies and consulates to deny visas to people with obesity or other health issues. Eugenics is a Nazi shibboleth: https://newrepublic.com/post/202898/trump-us-visas-deny-fat-people-obesity

I’m pretty sure winning a slam dunk lawsuit against this criminal extortion would have been cheaper than dropping $60m during a bad budget crunch. They didn’t cave to pressure. They collaborated with the regime and sold out their students and staff.
