“Just last week, researchers at Apple released a damning paper that threw cold water on the "reasoning" capabilities of the latest and most powerful LLMs, arguing they "face a complete accuracy collapse beyond certain complexities." Womp womp.

Well, at least I’m laugh crying instead of just crying. Welcome to the crumbling US.

“For 2nd time this yr, fed govt’s top watchdog concluded #Trump admin violated law by wholding $ Congress already approved. This time, GAO found Trump admin flouted the law by clawing back federal cash Congress enacted to support libraries, archives and museums” www.politico.com/live-updates...

I live in a world where I am supposed to just accept that this sentence exists

I'm more of a rocks kind of guy, but being among these ancient bristlecone pines was a fantastic experience high in California's White Mountains. Many of these trees are 4,000+ years old, and what is considered to be the oldest living tree on earth at nearly 5,000 years of age is within this forest.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Awww. Our department got a regional Emmy for a video about our Operator in Training program. We aren’t @neorsd.org yet, but we’re trying. (Opinions on my account are NOT my employers- I’m just so proud of our hard working DIVERSE workforce throughout the agency.) youtu.be/lnJG6rk6TxY?...

RFK Jr believes in the wearing of hair shirts and riding of donkeys.

This little Lazuli bunting sits way up high on the decaying raptor perch and sings their heart out while I take care of plantings. I’m overdue to replace this perch, especially considering its popularity with so many different birds. 🪶

Okay, this isn’t scientific, but I’m wondering if there is a food trend with our kestrels. The kestrels at my neighbor’s nest box keep bringing dragonflies to their young. The kestrels using the cottonwood seem to favor rodents and birds. 🤔 #birds

And of course, I forgot to tag it for the #birds feed. 🪶

A little worried about one of the eagles after I looked at my photos from the last couple days. One of the juvies was dangling a foot, which I’ve seen before from a landing gone wrong. The next day, one was flapping around high in the tree. Today I saw only one, albeit with an apparently full crop.🙁

if you have a dad to wish well today, i hope you do. if you’re remembering your dad today, i hope they’re happy memories. if you have a child in your life today, i hope they bring you joy. if today brings a sense of pain or loss, you’re ok to feel that way and you’re not alone.

Stunning thread! 🚨

Not ducks, it’s our 🇨🇦 geese overlords reminding President Greedy and his gang it’s #ElbowsUp where Canada and Greenland are concerned.

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

Incredible stuff happening in LA despite the police violence:

And how exactly are they manage to rave about a parade so boring that the center of attention fell asleep? 😴

I noticed people of color driving by and waving, but mostly absent from the rallies. Because of course. 👇 It’s not safe. It’s our job to carry this one.

Time for an Amazon takedown? WaPo is churning out propaganda and that would actually hurt Bezos.

This pup deserves treats for life!!🦴💙🩵

And a T. rex for the win! #NoKings #EverettWA

We did the local rally earlier, but left for the evening concert early to be able to drive the blocks and blocks of protestors, honking and yelling and waving encouragement. #NoKings

#NoKings To the grey haired white women who rode by giving everyone the finger, please feel free to die mad. You make people assume all of us white women are selfish racists like you. To the woman who hollered, “Jesus is my King, Trump is my President!” I have a word from my rally neighbor:
