The package for my dog’s vitamins. I’m not surprised he doesn’t understand the human-centered message. He just aggressively snatches the “cute” treat. It’s kind of like AI.

it's insanely on the nose how maria corina machado is the second ever person to gift away their nobel prize and the first was some guy in nazi occupied norway who gave it to joseph goebbels as a bargaining chip and got nothing out of it

I am wondering if anyone has done any research on how often autocorrect humiliates the author versus saves the author from humiliation.

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears.

“I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Perhaps I am wrong, but the basic arguments against DEI began with Ward Connerly in California in 1980s. Reverse discrimination. I sure there are antecedents, but his efforts seem to lead to legal and legislative success. The basic arguments remain largely the same.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

I listened in on the UVa Faculty Senate meeting today. My major observation is that it is an institution under duress. From DOJ and BOV members colluding with DOJ. Stand up for principles or litigate, with likely financial disaster before resolution.

In following the Trump-Epstein stories, let me request as others have, that we are describing the sexual abuse of children. Not young women. Children.

“Affordability” is now the new magical word. Trump has adopted it, at least temporarily. The magic will fade. It will lose its resonance quickly. I recommend using a thesaurus.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
