JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

wow TMDB is way faster than IMDB, give it a try.

It's kind of annoying how major websites these days are still slow (or even slower than they used to be)

this is so deeply upsetting
The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

ChatGPT sounds so confident only because it’s concealing its sources and claiming the thinking of others as its own. It does not think, does not feel, and has no concept of reality. Do not mistake it for a person, as its makers want you to do.

Trump has agreed to take over 200 bribes from US companies for tariff exemptions
RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?

BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

as the Trump administration begins stepping on limitless rakes, in 2026 and 2028 we need to resist the urge to back candidates whose promise is entirely to “stop trump” and encourage those who promise and articulate a better future for America, in summary: no scrubs

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to
I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post

there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software

but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games

totally unnecessary self-own
