This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

“Out of touch” isn’t it.
A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.
It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

King Herod THOUGHT he was right.
He THOUGHT that protecting his own power was to protect his kingdom.
He THOUGHT the murder of children in Bethlehem was justified by the Magi's refusal to tell him the identity of the Christ child.
He thought a few lives were a small price to pay for greatness.

Think I'm going to start a social media campaign arguing that Trump shouldn't be allowed to fire handguns during his Cabinet meetings and see where his reflexive spite takes us.

Back from a week in Canada visiting my in-laws.
Normally we get together in the Poconos, as it’s central for all of the families, but the in-laws aren’t comfortable coming here under Trump’s new rules so we moved it all north of the border.
That’s probably $8k that would’ve gone to Pennsylvania.

Coming back to this, I'm still struck by the implication that academics should care if the AI pushers "trust" all our work that's done without AI.
I don't know, man, you all seemed to trust our work enough to steal it from us wholesale.

I would struggle to trust an academic who doesn‘t know how to
use AI tools.
Which is not the same as not being critical.
