This reminds me of the Warren Wealth Tax Calculator from 2020 but showing voters what they'll save from progressive policy.

The reason why this is effective is because you're empowering people to inform themselves with information they input, not telling them random numbers based on the average.

I am honestly horrified at how common it seems to be to feed medical test results into ChatGPT for interpretation. We need to find ways to provide better patient-facing interpretation in a timely manner. People are making decisions about their health, diet, etc. based on a babble generator.

Paramount Skydance acquires The Free Press for $150M Bari Weiss' ascent has led to wide speculation about what it could mean for the direction of CBS' news coverage.

Not-so-fun fact: $150 million is enough to add nearly 30 journalists to each of the 50 states with a $100K total compensation package.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

An incredible legacy and a reminder that we can tackle tough global problems if we choose to

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Had a prosecutor joke that she could use AI to make a video of me saying my client was guilty. It definitely brought home the reality of how dangerous this technology is

If you live in California, stop what you’re doing and take 2 minutes to call Newsom’s office in support of SB79. Building more housing near transit is good.

Why Building Modern Apartments Can Solve the Housing Shortage and Improve Fire Safety State and local policymakers across the country are exploring ways to expand housing options as communities face a persistent shortage that has driven costs to record highs. One way to close the gap i...

"Modern apartments have fire death rate of just 1.2 per million residents, six times lower than older apartments (7.7) or single-family homes (7.6).

"Building modern apartments is also one of fastest ways to reduce housing shortage."

@governor.ca.gov sign SB 79!! www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-bu...

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Self-Generation Incentive Program The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) helps qualified LADWP residential customers install solar and battery storage systems by providing financial incentives. This program supports clean energy...

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*.

Yes: free.

If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates.

For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim.

“Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered.

And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

Stenciled black paint on white that reads All Harpooners Are Bastards. Beside "All" and "Are" are stencils of stylized sperm whales, facing opposite directions.

When people ask, "Right before the Republic crumbled, who was doing the best 19th century literary pun stencils?" remember my name.

This study was conducted during 2020. During that time people were incredibly isolated, so any pro-social behavior then would’ve produced abnormally high impacts on improved status. Would this finding hold if conducted prior to the pandemic, or now?

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

How quick we forget.

Vaccines save lives.

Mandates have been used for hundreds of years in the US for that reason.

And they've been deemed constitutional.

Mandates are used because people tend not to consider the entire community.

Because infectious diseases impact more than just a single person.

We HAVE data before school vaccine requirements existed. People got sick, spread illness to others, & died. That’s WHY they were implemented.

We are legitimately rolling back DECADES of progress & improved health because wellness influencers have co-opted government.

And that’s not hyperbole.

The Everglades Concentration Camp costs 3x one of these trains.

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

The letter is ready, thanks to all those who helped out! Starting to gather signature now, please consider signing (link at top of letter) & spread the word.

A friend of mine found it life changing when I pointed out to them that politicians are just some fucking guy trying to do some stuff, and are due respect exactly in proportion to how worthy of respect what they want to do is.

just a reminder that people in the National Guard mostly have full-time jobs elsewhere that they have had to stop doing to do ... this

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

Too many outlets are asking if an AI has feelings and not enough outlets are asking if an AI can be charged with murder.

Congratulations to Taylor and Travis and one thing you could always get the couple that has everything is another fire extinguisher.
