You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
Breaking News: The Trump administration repealed the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life and well being, meaning that the EPA can no longer regulate them. nyti.ms/4rSszQu

it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job
it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians
never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

Let me get this straight. In 2007, Hollywood writers went on strike so the networks made more reality TV. One of the guys in this show said Obama wasn’t born in America, so Obama made fun of him at a dinner once. TV guy got so mad he passed up the role of president in Sharknado 4 to run for real.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

My fav Harlan Coben was when, after a couple in which people had implausible jobs they barely went to (that wouldn't have bought the house they live in anyway), they made one without specifying profession at all, the Man just went to Unspecified Work and Wife just went to Unamed Charity Job.

We're in Canada so fewer guns, but they were startled at the level of violence health care workers deal with before they even bother calling the police.

Police came to our inner-city health centre Emergency Department to do 'person with a weapon response' training, & kept posing scenarios where the staff just stared at them and were like "Oh we deal with that one pretty much every day. That one every week. Oh yeah, we see that regularly too."

it’s so hard to read the news
and so beautiful outside
and the world that seemed so wide
now seems so broken
all the things we love and keep
in our dreams and in our sleep
startled birds that we have
suddenly awoken

The ivy enfolded grave guardians of Ashcourt necropolis exist in lithic time. We flicker and fizz in their slow seeing. For the most part we hardly register. When we do, we are trespassing ghosts. Edge of eye phantoms moving against the speed of stone. – #CLNolan
