I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

Reminder that naturalized citizens are people who jumped through every hoop, did all the paperwork, passed the test, and swore an oath to this country. They did it all “the right way” and still Republicans want to kick them out.
New attack on immigrants: the Trump administration is demanding that Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices start drumming up “100-200 denaturalization cases per month.”

Normally a naturalized citizen cannot be stripped of citizenship unless they committed fraud on their application. 🎁

What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.

Which also means it's likely to be focused on "enemies" of the Trump admin. And their relatives.
The Trump admin says it aims to file 100-200 denaturalization cases per month, a huge increase. But these cases are hard to file and win, and require a lot of DOJ resources, and the DOJ is incredibly stretched thin already. So we’ll see; I have serious doubts about their ability to do this.

Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

Hey, guys! If you need a reason to *not* go back to Twitter, see below.

I QT’d the first post with what I think is an uncontroversial historical point. It blew up, and out of the woodwork came the neoconfederates, antisemites, white nationalists, and other racists.

I keep thinking—as a historian—that it’s rare when doing research to find a politician who reveals his nasty innards so blatantly—with no sense of self or shame.

Future historians who didn’t live through this will be absolutely open-mouthed.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

Making this claim from the NYT Opinion Pages Home for Bland White Guys is certainly a choice.
If you think the system doesn't seem interested in rewarding white guys at all that seems to be an issue of your media diet and not a reflection of reality

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

LLM's are shitty predictive text generators that guzzle kilowatts like I chug Dr. Pepper.

Machine learning is a valuable modeling tool to train computer systems on complex categorization and prediction problems.

This is not a fuckin LLM, this is not asking ChatGPT what the weather will be. This is leveraging neural networks to identify emergent patterns in weather systems to extend the usability of forecast algorithms. This is the golden use case of machine learning.

To capture funding and ride the wave of the AI bubble, a variety of institutions (commercial and otherwise) have pivoted to calling their machine learning applications "AI."

The paper I am linking below explains what's going on here. But there's also more to it than that!

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

"AI isn't going anywhere, it's here to stay, can't put the genie back in the bottle, just gotta get used to it."

Just say that you are tired and exhausted and feel hopeless and want to give up. It's okay. Everyone feels pretty fucked at this point. Just say what you feel.
