THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I'm gonna divorce this very stupid thought from actual discussion about Brad Lander getting arrested and putting his body on the line for immigrants. But this was my first thought upon seeing the AMNY picture that's making the rounds.

CA5 upholds the federal ban on guns near schools for the unfathomably stupid reason that a 697-year-old English law is sufficiently analogous to the ban rather than that a democratically-enacted law banning guns near schools just, you know, MAKES SENSE. storage.courtlistener.com/pdf/2025/06/...

thinking about how josh barro used to host "left, right and center" on a liberal public radio station, and he'd be "center" and liz bruenig would be "left." incredible range of opinions that's represented in elite discourse.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

It’s official. Studio Execs are now using Chat GPT to evaluate screenplays. Here’s proof from a friend’s pass letter: Not only is it vague and unhelpful, it references one specific — an antique camera. The problem? THERE’S NO ANTIQUE CAMERA IN THE FUCKING SCRIPT.

Thread from last nights airport BS: (written last night & shared on masto): So yeah. Things started off as they usually do. Couldn’t check in online or at a kiosk. Got to the front desk to check in where I waited over 2 hours for them to get approval from TSA to let me through.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.
