To state what should be obvious but I'll bet isn't to everyone who watches this...
This is what the thought process of a racist who cannot possibly allow themselves to think they're a racist looks like. This is how they rationalize their behavior and deflect from cognitive dissonance.

Since there's dishwasher discourse again today, here's a new theory of mine:
I think more dishwashers are getting filters rather than macerators not because filters are actually better, but because they reduces warranty claims from people loading their machines poorly.

Whoa, vindication for my hot take that my English teachers in high school who graded us on how many annotations we were making in our books doing the opposite of helping people understand what and how to cite things.
I had two teachers expect at least three written annotations per page.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

I was reading through the OP and some replies and if you don't mind me airing a grievance...
there sure are a lot of people out there who seem to have a superiority complex about not watching videos and you do you but I stopped using the word "sportsball" for reasons.

okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
