@nytimes.com in the Daily episode about the dismissed Comey/James indictment, y’all presented the arguments that Jack Smith was improperly appointed and Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed as roughly equivalent in their strength and correctness. That true? That the intent?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The fundamental limitation to putting LLMs in charge of everything, and why knowledge-generating centers like universities need to proceed cautiously.
The models can develop all they want to but *they can’t go out into the world and collect new information*.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Begging our civilian leaders not to return salutes from service members. Core tenant of US military leadership is civilian control. Salutes are exchanges of respect between uniformed, covered (with a hat on) service members.

Starting Sunday your Metro will be operating under automatic mode, the 1st time in 16 yrs! Incredible hard work by the team to make trips safer, more reliable & cost efficient. Expect service adjustments on lines until new schedules are implemented that account for faster trips.
Metro is launching Automatic Train Operation on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines this Sunday, enhancing safety, reliability, and efficiency!
This marks the first time the entire Metrorail system will be in automatic mode since 2009.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war.
Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes.
Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.
