i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Joe Biden relitigation is catnip for the press because it gives them a chance to avoid saying difficult things about the present situation we are all in while also getting to talk about themselves

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

Most of my coworkers and I are moving to a mix of pen-paper exclusively in-class assessments or, more controversially, verbal examinations. AI tools are a plague for assessment purposes and many of the ‘here’s why AI is bad’ arguments are not understood by students or easy to explain to them.

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

I wrote about how billionaires’ position in society and the role they play make them fundamentally different than the rest of us. They exist as economic and political entities in ways that are entirely inaccessible to everyone else. Link: www.jphilll.com/p/billionair...

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.

In a letter dictated over the phone from ICE detention in Louisiana, Mahmoud Khalil said that his arrest "was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine." "It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom."

Gavin Newsom is so cool. Pure ambition, no values or even loosely held beliefs, assesses the current situation looking for a lane and instantly settles on People Are Into Evil Guys Now and sticks the pivot. Perfect clarity of purpose. He would be a danger to all those around him in any job he had.

Oh this! The Democrats embracing genocide and not fighting it took away so many of the people who usually help on policy stuff. Like people are all up in arms about who everyone voted for but what really hurt them is the lack of organizers

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
