The website for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is completely scrubbed and gone! They didn't even leave a legacy statement.

My husband's dissertation was on the potential of training models to recognize and send EMS to emergencies based on real-time tweets during weather events. This use case still exists but the layers of AI manure you have to shovel off the top before you can explain it is exhausting!
There are so many reasons to be annoyed about AI these days, but honestly one of top the reasons I personally hate it is "THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COOL AND YOU'RE RUINING IT!"

I wish more people were aware of just how many things their public libraries “step in” to do, how many gaps they fill silently.
NYC, as budget season commences, we need to end the annual budget dance — a gratuitous, insulting ritual — and ensure consistent, generous funding for our libraries.

I haven’t heard any Democratic Party politicians talk of expanding OUR Supreme Court to (at least) 13 members - in addition to a 20 year term limit.
This needs to be talked about. It needs to become a campaign promise - so that there’s a mandate.

A Dem that runs as pro trans gets a SIXTY ONE POINT BUMP WITH DEM VOTERS and a NINE POINT BUMP WITH INDIES over ones that go silent.
The failure to get this is a prior beliefs/incentives problem but it's also a research problem. The current establishment's understanding of voters is utterly cooked.

Relevant to that is another finding in the poll. A theoretical officeholder that speaks up about these issues is preferred by:
ICE raids D+72 I+40
Trans D+61 I+9
Gaza genocide D+33 I-24
Guessing that Gaza one was a question wording effect, but if you're running a a Dem, those are your voters.
