Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Blows my mind that a lot of the people we called "essential workers" during COVID were the same people we shit on and underpay for doing "unskilled labor."

We made them risk their own health to keep society from falling apart during a global pandemic. And then STILL shit on and underpay them now.

this is interesting and balanced research and it confirms my priors so i'm sharing it (h/t @jenvalentino.bsky.social)

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

…i will never be okay with the fact they normalized using chat gpt. the fact that it ruins the environment and you actually get dumber using it i’ve never been more disgusted with the fact that people have encouraged its use and schools haven’t completely banned.

the news of the Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and their spouses getting shot and one couple being killed genuinely brought me to tears. it’s an extremely dark place we’re in and I don’t know when we’re going to start turning the plane around.
