Trump's Pentagon threatens to recall Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, to active duty status in order to prosecute him - days after Trump criticized him and five other Democrats and said they could be executed for a video saying troops could refuse to obey illegal orders.

Making my master's no longer a professional degree. Wow.
“As part of the BBB the Dept of Education just proposed a reclassification of a professional degree and it means fewer students will qualify for the higher loan limits they need for grad school, ...excluded incl many fields dominated by women like healthcare, counseling, and social work."

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Lol I was just about to make this connection bc they do make this pitch constantly and it says so much about them

People like sharing media! It's one of the main things about media! People watch bad movies on purpose just to enjoy shared context around media
the loss of shared context is also why i don’t know why they think we all want hyper-personalized tv shows and movies. i like being able to watch and discuss the same film!

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Somehow I have never seen this, and I'm okay with that.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I think we're losing sight of the reason some males want minors for sex partners - young girls are seen as pliable, having no needs or desires or boundaries, sexually or otherwise. Males who prey on young girls just can't cope with an adult partner. They want breathing dolls.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum

(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao
