So chill of my son to leave the door to his room open playing loud foreboding demon techno from the Doom video game while he takes a relaxing bathroom break

Conservatives will likely point to private charity or paid work as the solution here. But families on SNAP are already relying on overstretched food banks to fill in the gaps in the program. And most families on SNAP are already working--their jobs just don't pay enough to keep their kids fed.

If you don't want to click through the story at this hour, Nick has you covered in this thread. You should always read Nick's stories. It's a hell of a story and if I catch you doing the "FAFO" or leopards/faces shit in my mentions I will block you. ICE has gone rogue even by DHS's fascist standards

“who are Republicans spending time with online and what do those people believe” is a story that the media has completely ignored for years and we might be in a different place if the public was actually aware how many of those people are outright Nazis

There’s a strong body of research showing that naming things clearly—esp. systems of power and injustice—is essential to public understanding, mobilization and change. We shouldn’t avoid calling things what they are just because it’s uncomfortable. Power relies on our hesitation to speak plainly.

With Andor at peak popularity it would be pretty tight for some enterprising streaming service & rights holders to figure out how to get a #TheExpanse S7 going — the book 7 storyline would be a tailor-made organic onboarding point for Andor fans

This is fascinating and tragic storytelling about what happens when reality meets cruel policy. It’s also so shortsighted to think the cruelty’s just for other people — it’ll eventually come for you, too.

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up

My only permanent pope stance is that politicians should not be able to be to the right of the pope. Whatever the pope's position is, should be as right wing as you can get without being shunned from public life.

Besides the immediate relevance of plane stuff, the feeling described here is really at the heart of this season of Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal” - how much risk are we willing to endure to avoid an uncomfortable interaction with an authority figure? And the entire world is on the plane

One thing the DOGE disaster has shown is that the federal government funds a lot of important agencies that make life better for the American people and the world. Musk’s cuts have either been premised on lies (150 year-olds getting Social Security) or by slashing manifestly necessary/good programs.

Re LLMs writing term papers: the other day I saw someone say that using LLMs to write is like bringing a forklift to the gym. It's not that the weights need to go up; it's that you need to do the lifting. The doing of the work is the result, not the paper being done or the weights having moved.

I’m watching through Andor, and really love the way they bring their cultures to life. The whole circular wedding ceremony felt in a few short minutes truly rooted in a real tradition. Enjoyable stuff!
