Thread on the way this tech is just exacerbating the existing trend of "cranking shit out" in order to have the longest, oops I mean the most competitive CV
“Scientists who engage in AI-augmented research publish 3.02x more papers, [and] receive 4.84x more citations… than those who do not. By contrast, AI adoption shrinks the collective volume of scientific topics studied by 4.63% and decreases scientists’ engagement with one another by 22%.”

There is a guy on FB using Terra nullius, in 2026, to argue that Montreal isn't unceded land.

I'm curious, and perhaps someone in the USA can tell me: the rock solid Trump supporters, those that are completely onside, and those who will vote/support anyone who is Republican, is there anything at all, in your opinion, that will turn them against him?

Am I to understand that Trump doesn’t know the difference between Norway and Denmark?

DHS says their agents had every right to drag a U.S. citizen half-naked out of his home because they were targeting criminals.
The family says that’s entirely false: there was no warrant, no one else lives there, and they have no link to the targets.
DHS is lying to defend unlawful abuse.

Men, it must be restated, are pretty gross. I follow this woman on FB, she lives off grid and does a lot of felling and onsite milling of wood. It's cool to watch her build shit. The number of dudes on there that comment in ways that should get your teeth bashed in is ... it's unhinged...

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.

There is a local microbrewery that a lot of people love here in Montreal. It's Blanche beer tastes like horribly off celery and it makes me want to vomit just smelling the shitty beer.
people HATE when i tell them i don't like celery. all my life ive hated the flavor of celery. it tastes wrong and weird and like borderline lynchian. and i can always tell when celery has been in something even if u take it out. it's a sicko flavor. and people hate me for speaking the truth

I'm glad that the media is finally going mask off about this. Because this is absolutely who people are talking about when they think of the "working class." Some white dude without a college degree. Not a minority. Certainly not a single POC woman with children. Or a queer person.
So CNN is telling us the socioeconomic demographic known as the "working class" is defined by just two factors—and one of them is that you have to be white? And the other has to do with educational attainment, not salary?
So there are no Black working-class people?
And Bill Gates is working class?
