This is the back gate in my driveway which borders Camp Pendleton, I’ve circled the area where we see artillery drills. Does anyone have info about what time today USMC is shooting missiles over the 5 into this area? Want to make sure us and kids are away from home @mikelevin.org @governor.ca.gov

Obv not the most important thing right now, but I am continuously astounded that Google invests heavily to push incorrect AI slop to the top of search results. In this easily verifiable case, the season series is actually 3-3. Even their own counting of the 2-2 description is wrong!

This is extremely cool. Picked it up and made this DAG in like 15 minutes. Obviously pros/cons versus other DAG tools (e.g. low/no code cstructure and R's ggdag, both of which offer d-separation details and more) but if you have rigid aesthetic requirements this is a great tool to have in your kit

Makary: "We have never talked about environmental exposures that may cause cancer"
Sure would be cool if we had, say, an entire branch of the NCI devoted to this.

Same with @padilla.senate.gov. I called (couldn’t get through), so emailed about Schumer’s inability to meet the moment (I.e. call for new leadership) and got this form response about the Trump administration. Nothing like knowing you’re being heard 🙃
