A small price to pay for a parent to give their kid a lifelong memory. They will be talking about the shot for the rest of their lives.
today I saw a dad at costco deploy a high-risk “fine, I’ll buy you this basketball hoop if you can make this shot” maneuver to his young son only for the boy to swish from like twenty feet away. net barely moved

Show this to the next Democrat that says trans issues aren't critically important "right now"
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

Why, indeed
When it comes to judicial nominations, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have a ton of influence over other Democrats in the Senate. Why aren't they using it?
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

“Lobbyist for private charter schools has big opinions on the need to destroy public education “
Democrats embraced *public school choice* Also no panacea & plenty of problems but there is public accountability.
FWIW: as an expert on AI slop (along w all other profs & teachers), I’d bet some plasma this was written w ChatGPT. Fitting, because the evidence cited herein is of the same merit.

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.
“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.”
The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles.

In all seriousness, I think there would be exponentially less left-wing pessimism about computer technology as a whole if more people embraced FOSS tools that are decoupled from Big Tech's clutches and get-rich-quick schemes.
the replies to this are draining my life force man nobody knows the thing im talking about already exists no wonder you all conflate "the computer" and whatever big tech is doing as the same thing. i'm talking about FOSS. you don't have to use the tech bro evil computer software*
its capitalism that's corrupting the computer, making it into something twisted and perverse. there is a better way

This belies what it means to be a socialist. The changing nature of work won’t change whether the capitalists will exploit you. Whether you’re working in a mine, serving coffee, or an AI engineer you’re still being exploited.
I think this is directionally correct and honestly I'm less concerned about what it means for the left's take on AI than I am for the left's ability to metabolize new information and changing circumstances generally www.transformernews.ai/p/the-left-i...

As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right
