Pope Francis' health unchanged, but he slept well as thousands pray in a rainy St. Peter's Square ->CBS News | #Health | More info from EcoSearch

"The Black mentor class is being fired, not just on television but throughout America." And that's why it will never be enough to "express sympathies" and send "thoughts and prayers". If you want to make a difference, hire, platform, support, and put on Black folks. Anything less is cheap talk.

When we first published about Semicolon owner Danielle Moore’s fundraiser to keep the bookstore alive, she had raised $9,000. Now her Kickstarter is at $17,000. The goal is $25,000. “If it works, that’s great. We can stay,” she says. thetriibe.com/2025/02/semi...

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Bolsonaro is formally charged over the coup attempt.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

There's no way to sugarcoat this: Yesterday was the single-worst day in American history in the fight against both kleptocracy and foreign influence campaigns. This is for many reasons—and for one large reason. bsky.app/profile/cjcm...

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

How unfillable is the hole in your soul that one could be the literal richest person in the world and then be upset that America has an agency that helps the poorest in the world?

Dear god

This paper is wild - a Stanford team shows the simplest way to make an open LLM into a reasoning model They used just 1,000 carefully curated reasoning examples & a trick where if the model tries to stop thinking, they append "Wait" to force it to continue.

In exploring Cal State’s massive new deal with OpenAI, @benjedwards.com asks whether AI is really good for learning. But he also asked me about another question: Suppose AI is useful. Does that mean universities should be paying Sam Altman, or supporting open source?

Our top story: “One of the things that I grieve about is that what we see here is a kind of echo of other shameful episodes in Christianity’s past: the Crusades, antisemitic pogroms in Europe, biblical defenses of American slavery by Christians.”

For anyone here concerned about AI taking over jobs and related issues, this article by MIT Professor Acemoglu, the 2024 Nobel laureate in economic sciences, is a worthwhile read. mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-t...

The nail art on rednote. My god. I don't do my nails this way. I work with my hands and my nails are a crime scene but I love to see creative nail art. Rednote is nail art nirvana. I'm glad the creators there are getting some extra love and I hope orders cos those press ones are next level.
