You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

I don’t know how else to explain this…if you’re cheering for someone else’s rights to be taken away, you’re cheering for your own to disappear too. This isn’t cake. You don’t get more by refusing to share. Either everyone has rights, or no one really does. Thats it. It’s simple.

Using a LLM to write a term paper is useful in a similar way t using a forklift for weightlifting at the gym. Yes, it may be efficient in completing the task, but the value is in the hard work
About to be Jokerfied by this blandly tossed-off statement in a piece about how the lie machines will never stop lying. Why concede that AI is "useful" in writing term papers? What is the purpose of writing assignments in education? Is AI accomplishing that purpose? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t...

Seeing lots of misinfo flying around on the left recently. Three different things on bluesky this morning that are either factually wrong or so utterly devoid of context that they might as well be.
We're not immune to this, and it's important to read the article and check sources.

In the 50s heroes pointed their guns and said "You're going down, nazi!" In the 60s they said "You're going down, commie!" In the 70s, my heroes said "You're going down, assholes!" GenX's heroes said, "I'm taking this system down!" GenZ's heroes pointed their guns and said, "Who am I?"

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
