You’re a US senator, sir. Do better than this.
Reasons why Trump wants to invade Greenland…
A). If you’re going to distract from the Epstein files, you might as well go big.
B). What’s the Mercator Projection?
C). If you can steal a Nobel Prize, why not Greenland?
D). Sadly, all true.

Wait, Mr. President, are you telling me that a politician can act like a normal human being and not simply air grievances and perceived slights?
Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

It's pretty sad to get owned by Patty Murray. But their ship sailed long ago.
To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority.
Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

Controversial take but I agree that if you have even center left politics you should be barefoot wearing a barrel with suspenders. You should have a wallet with a single moth and nothing else in it. You should be slicing up a single bean paper thin and eating it slowly on a trash can lid

The whole thing looks tacky, but I'm guessing most people don't particularly want or need to be reminded of slavery on New Year's Eve.
There’s a 15 minute video displaying on the monument
Mentioned: The Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Artificial Intelligence, Lewis & Clark, the Moon Landing
Not mentioned: slavery, the emancipation proclamation, the civil war

When I lived in LA 97-99 (and you may recall this @davidjroth.bsky.social), Rob Reiner led the smoking ban in bars. I couldn’t believe bars could exist without cigs. And I don’t even smoke.
He kickstarted all of it. I still go to bars. I never have to Febreez my clothes.
So, also that.

I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

Samuel Johnson wrote "Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it." I'm curious what the balance of these are is as a function of age, and what it was historically when information was not as widely or quickly available.
It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
