I wonder if Monica Lewinsky knew she had as much in common with Trump as she did with Hilary.

Sometimes someone tells you something about the way they perceive the universe, and you're reminded that not everyone lives in reality and is capable of perceiving things external to their personal opinions.
In his video addressing the tattoo he does a lot of excuse making & blame shifting.
Seems exactly like the kind of guy who’d get misled & then make lame excuses when he gets called on it.
Check out clips of Fetterman & Sinema before they got elected to the senate.
Planter’s a walking red flag.

There is a lot of hate being peddled at the moment. Our means of communicating are being attacked by the hateful.
Whilst I still can I wanna say that I love you all for being in my life. Just the little comments, the memes, the jokes, the art, the reminders of humanity at its best.
Be loved.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.
regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

I've been building a RAG with the transcript of every Charlie Kirk podcast in it.
Just got to the point i can do useful searching against it, so i figured i'd give it a softball.
Huh. I.. I don't know if my models are bad, or the data is bad, or the subject is bad.

This may be the most disappointing thing i've ever heard from NPR, and i was listening when Car Talk ended.
The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.
When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

Etiquette question: If you want to commission a small piece of drawn art like a PFP or something, would an artist be upset by being provided an AI generated image as a way to visualize the pose and sort of composition,
As long as you weren't also like saying "I want this style" i mean.

Unhappy about Disney/Nexstar/Sinclair decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel?
These are publicly traded companies. They depend on customers. Customers can complain. Like @carmitage.bsky.social said about Congress, calls to corporate HQs work too:

Nexstar 972-373-8800

This is like... "What if someone did the concept behind the show Preacher, but didn't try to tie it to an existing IP"
I'm only a few episodes in, but dear lord is this a fun mindless romp.

plenty of people are being called illegal immigrants who aren't.
If you can't detect the intent to dehumanize in "illegal alien", I can only tell you that in your case it worked.

If you are not a "legal immigrant" you are an "illegal immigrant." We use one, why not the other?
We don't say "documented immigrant." This is Orwellian language meant to avoid the problem that a law was broken.

"Undocumented immigrants" is OK or possibly "unauthorized immigrants." Never use "illegal" to refer to people otherwise you'd have illegal doctors, illegal journalists, and illegal engineers, etc. People are not illegal although they may do something illegally.

there exists one solution to age gating.
It is to use more of big techs tools, and give them more money, and it won't work.
Anyone telling you otherwise isn't bothering to think beyond the current step in the process.

Chat GPT literally is a tool. It's a mathmatical system that can be applied to data.
It is a formal process of calculating and comparing weights.
You could do what chat gpt does by hand if you really wanted to.
Same as you could cut your grass by hand.
