This is me after being pepper sprayed by SPPD. The crowd was noisy but completely nonviolent. There was a lot of anger but no violence from the crowd- SPPD escalated.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

Venezuela is where my dad ran off to after high school to see what life was like outside of rural Iowa. He ended up staying in Caracas for 9 months and he's still fluent in Spanish and pronounces yo like jo. I'll probably never visit but I've always been distantly fond of the country.

Tonight I'm looking through my grandfather's high school yearbook from Comanche, Oklahoma.
I'm blown away by this photo of the football team lined up on the dirt of main street, 101 years ago.

Fair, and I bet Mechanical Turk is indeed the absolute worst when it comes to complexity or quality of work (or employees) ((especially 2 years ago)). On the other hand, despite my degree, it wasn't until this work came along that I was able to do high school math in my pajamas for $40 an hour.
“AI workers said they distrust the models they work on because of a consistent emphasis on rapid turnaround time at the expense of quality.”
Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI
When the people making AI seem trustworthy are the ones who trust it the least, it shows that incentives for speed are overtaking safety, experts say

And also I kind of expected a statement of support from Massie by now. She just died on the hill that was his bill after all.
I'm extremely surprised by how quickly Marjorie fled once she faced serious opposition from maga base colleagues and constituents. I thought she had way more fight in her. All crossfit and no confidence.
