This headline is trash, though. Trump administration races to blame DOGE because Trump administration, of which DOGE is a key part, fired too many people. Subhead: The Washington Post went alone with their charade, allowing the Trump administration to act like DOGE is not them.

The latest satellite images show 3 major developments: a large Russian troop buildup in Bryansk Oblast, damage from recent drone strikes in Kyiv, and unusual military activities at Taiwan’s Wangan Airport. All three have one thing in common - they were generated by AI. 🧵Thread:

It'd be nice if the Press would stop mailing it in so often on language and framing. The Scorpion's admin isn't even pretending to care about authorized or unauthorized. Way more people will see this headline than the details in the story, so stop validating their use of blatantly untrue language.

Just because Bluesky has become the void I choose to shout things like this into: Courts are not preventing Trump from doing his job when they strike down his tariffs; they are pointing out that declaring tariffs is not one of the responsibilities of the job he was actually hired to fill. …

Outsourcing copy editing of someone who writes for a living to a machine that, by design, writes like the median writer across all sorts of media is a terrible idea. The point of copy editing is to make the writer's own writing better, not to make it indistinguishable from any other writer's.

My favorite George Wendt story: a friend went to meet him for drinks at a bar and a fan came up with two pitchers, gushing over Wendt, thanking him, and gifting him the two pitchers. Friend said "That happen to you a lot?" "Every time. Now are you gonna help me fucking drink them or what?" Legend.

When Cheers was a Big Deal, I was a skinny kid who didn't drink & had few friends. Norm was none of those things; he was my goddamn hero. A hilarious, easy-going, everyman who everybody liked. Thank you, George, for bringing him to life. "Got room for a beer, Norm?" "No, but I am willing to add on."

It really does, even now. I also never noticed until this moment just how much the 0:15 to 0:40 mark is just straight up the opening to Jaws. Glorious.

Younger generations have no idea why this excites us G-Xers like fucking catnip. This was the beginning of the presentation of the 8 O' Clock movie in the pre-video store era. The premiere slot. When this thing came on, it meant you were gonna see some shit. No commercials. Unedited. It was MAGIC.

It also remains deeply untrustworthy for anything of consequence. A person is almost always better served doing the work themselves than trying to analyze and fix whatever mid-level dreck AI delivers. Anyone who relies on it to offload their own thinking is just waiting to get got.

I got the best teaching evals of my career for a large course last semester— along with three teaching awards— after rebuilding my intro class around in-class handwritten essays. I simply do not believe that this is unsolvable or that students don't care about actually learning to do their work.

It's a truism of good editing, regardless of the medium. Also, this sounds too smart for anything I'd ever say, so I must've stolen it from somebody.
