I’ve been using it for Spanish since this past winter, and the decline in quality since the inclusion of AI is striking. The things it’s teaching me make no sense anymore. As my best friend put it, “Duolingo’s goal is not to teach you a language, but to keep you using Duolingo.”
Despite customer backlash to AI focus, analysts see Duolingo on track for steady growth as it rolls out new features and expands into music.

This is why for me Hangman & Swerve are the successors of the 'Steve Austin & The Rock' defining feud of the era.
Hangman is a mentally healthy Austin; Conquering himself just enough to make it to the promised land.
Swerve embodies The Rock's confidence but with stakes beyond pure ego.

Hangman isn't an infallible god.
Hangman is HUMAN.
And that's why we ride for him.
Anxiety, frustration, hope, worry, bitterness, optimism, rage, defiance.
Hangman is REAL. And that's why we love him.

In what could be a pivotal case as Trump seeks to reshape the federal workforce, the judge ruled that “an American President is not a king—not even an ‘elected’ one—and his power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants like the plaintiff is not absolute.”

Let's take the protagonist from a game series about how AI ends the world and run a fucking AI chatbot with her face. Like when Square Enix made FFVII nfts. Planet's dying, Cloud.

wanting to abolish OSHA is a comically stupid take to have from anyone not just a government leader i hope we are all aware of that
BREAKING: Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.
The entire text of the bill reads "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

they do not seem to think that civil society is real and their mental model of the world holds that people are drones who will do what they’re told
why is Elon Musk obsessed with gaining access directly to the systems which approve Treasury payments? and why are they trying so hard to shutter USAID? it's because they think it's the machine that pays the protesters, and they're trying to turn it off.

Earnestly cried about this bird the other day. “To find humanity, simply look for healed bones and toys.”
4) 2400 years ago, one Scythian wanted a plush bird toy and someone painstakingly made them one by hand out of three different colors of reindeer fur and felt, with contrast stitching. I think people will always do these things for each other. (Apparently Scythians loved plushies? Bitches, man.)

Another frigid morning here in upstate New York. This Dark-eyed Junco was well prepared, trapping as much air between his feathers as possible. These guys are a favorite this time of year. Tough little winter birds.
