I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

I can’t tell you how much this made me smile. Not just that you had a good day, but that I got to see it here. 🩷

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Holy shit, New York!

Here’s the full view.

Today in Boston.

Over a million people turned out.

Even the drone couldn't get it all.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters.

YouTube video by Alberta Tech No one actually knows why AI works

Really like @albertatech.bsky.social’s humor videos, but this latest serious one explaining what we *don’t* know about how LLMs at a tech level is a great example of what can help enable better AI criticism. (For example, LLMs are *not* “just better autocomplete”.) youtu.be/nMwiQE8Nsjc

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Breaking News: Trump officials blame a mistake for setting off the tectonic confrontation with Harvard.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

These are precedented times. The cradle of liberty has witnessed the revolutionary spirit of generations of Bostonians. Boston has taken on tyrants before, and we’ll do it again.

"One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem"
I hope they will return to their poem

bashar al-assad won't read your posts celebrating his downfall, but all your friends who have deployed chemical weapons against children might. watch what you say and remember, be best.

Ha! That's literally where I am right now. 2000 words due next week... and I haven't started. I mean, I have ideas of a plan for an outline of a draft.

Broke my rule by putting up the Christmas tree today (before Thanksgiving) and the universe punished me by making none of the twinkle lights work.

I replaced bulbs. Fuses. Untangled things. Jumped on one foot and sang a song. No dice.

Let this be a warning if you were considering early 🎄cheer.

So I roped in a theater friend from college who did improv comedy as a pro for over a decade. We partnered up to create a workshop specifically for case method teaching and now we’re on our 5th and 6th cohorts of HBS faculty!

Today is my third annual improv training for Harvard business school professors!

When I started teaching case method five years ago I realized it wasn’t like public speaking or even conducting an orchestra but rather like doing improv comedy.

Close listening, staying in the moment, “yes, and…”

Cambridge here! But I work on the Boston side of the river 🥰

Thanks for the nudge. Finally subscribed after following your work for years because indie media is the only thing keeping me sane right now. 🙏🏻

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
