y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

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 need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound incredibly on, the subtitles will not help.

To me, Juneteenth is about discovering the truth about our history. Scholars like Dr. DjeDje are doing tireless work uncovering the myriad stories that animate our unique culture here on Turtle Island, and that is how I like to celebrate - by educating myself.

Happy Juneteenth! On this day, 160 years ago, enslaved people in Texas found out about their freedom nearly 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

GOP never asks what they can do to win a group. They ask who they can blame for why they are losing them & how they can punish them Losing college educated - blame professors. Losing women - blame them, eliminate rape exceptions. Unions - right to work If Dems depended on churches they'd be taxed.

It's weird how people who want health care are being framed as emotional but the people who want women to die for routine care are not being framed as emotional.

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.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Thank you @latimes.com. Our show tomorrow at The Hollywood Bowl is huge opportunity to continue sharing the traditional music of my ancestors, and I couldn’t be more grateful (and freaked out) to do it on such a large scale.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.
