Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

LLMs could surely generate passable children’s books, but I doubt they can generate Actually Good ones.

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 23h

I don’t read a lot of romance novels, but I do read a lot of children’s books, which are likely similar in that you can immediately tell when the author is just trying to pay the bills vs when they thought about what they wanted to say.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

The way Ms. Hart sees it, romance writers must either embrace artificial intelligence, or get left behind.
"If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who's going to win the race?" she said.

starting a campaign to have "credibility" replace "authenticity" in the discourse since that's the term the spatial model papers use to explain two-party divergence

I mean the rightward shift in states both campaigns contested was smaller than the rightward shift in states the campaigns ignored. suggesting the harris campaign was doing something right, it just wasn't enough to overcome national trends

Jon Green @jongreen.bsky.social · 2d

and may have something to do with why the swing states saw smaller swings!

"I'm a lifelong Republican but I'm voting for the Democrat because the Republican Party cut taxes for billionaires while raising costs for the working class" is quite literally what any candidate from any wing of the Democratic Party would be expected to run in swing state Octobers

this is a good ad!

... that the strategy to appeal to those voters was by signaling moving right. Ergo, the Liz Cheney appearances, zero trans people or Palestinians featured at the DNC, the positioning of her speech, the top spending outside ad featuring a lifelong Republican talking about tax cuts, etc etc.

Have you wondered why exactly it is that single-family zoning leads to racial segregation? I wrote this little article to figure it out. I use an agent based model to show it is a combination of race-based wealth inequality, homophily, & clustering of housing types in zoning maps.

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

DoorDash Discourse is entirely wrong.

Since the pandemic, percent spending on groceries are up, food away from home is down, and this is especially true for young people. Trends point to food affordability being a real problem.
