People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador. Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

The narrative of “bringing jobs back” is aimed straight at the booomers who lost their jobs to the utterly misnamed “neoliberalism” of the eighties. Listen to Billy Joel’s Allentown if you are too young to remember. Or Springsteen’s My Hometown.

This is a good time to go to your library. For many reasons, actually. With the federal government cutting funding for inter-library loan and other support, libraries are going to need to show how much they are used to get state and local funding.

If you're worried about the death of NOAA's free public weather information, so am I! Back when I was dating a pilot, this free PDF from the FAA taught me a ton about weather, wind, and clouds. It's not the same as a satellite, but it's better than nothing! www.faa.gov/regulationsp...

I don’t know how I didn’t see this before. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias. The shorthand is that people overestimate their skills/knowledge in a given domain, because they lack the knowledge to assess their own competence. ChatGPT etc have automated the Dunning-Kruger effect.

If I was going to start a political movement against AI that glommed onto the current moment, I'd be hard pressed to find a better slogan than “ChatGPT tax.”

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50° of your target. This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.
