We need a new, strong Senate Minority Leader. My choice👇

I worry that too many people have forgotten the true meaning of black Friday.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I find July 4th fireworks boring. Not so the late-November Dunning Kruger Darwin spectacle.

A beautiful soul 🫶

Maisha Sanyika lives in Durham North Carolina where ICE and CBP have made many residents fearful of leaving their home. She has taken several children in these homes to school.

A woman reads quotes by the late Charlie Kirk to Republican congressmen, and they find it difficult to maintain eye contact.

I don’t believe that a person, after a lifetime of this behavior, can change on a dime.

Never forget who MTG really is.

I don't know what exactly you're teaching, but if your "Advanced Research Writing" course allows students to use "generative AI as a source of information and to generate
content," it sure doesn't sound like you're teaching good research skills.

A simple graphic from WaPo should make the idiocy of these investments as clear as a bubble.

“Disruption brings opportunity.” A chilling statement coming from a con artist.

He is literally the best account on TikTok, if you’re interested in simple thoughts and explanations on what’s going on, on the Hill.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Zuckerberg is a horrible piece of trash, his platforms are really dangerous. He used to FB to recruit Trump's army for the insurrection too.

I think its good that brazil punished people that tried to overthrow democracy with jail and i think this should be a thing!

Her Einstein Visa was really an #EpsteinVisa.

EPA just approved new ‘forever chemical’ pesticides for use on food Critics warn the EPA’s approvals of new PFAS pesticides could expose more Americans to “forever chemicals” through their food.

The Environmental Protection Agency is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts.

Sycophancy machine is applicable to many corporate systems.

In a world in which people with too much power and influence desperately need to be told and to understand when they are wrong, we are suddenly all inescapably drowning in sycophancy machines.

For lots of reasons, I don’t like LLMs and I don’t use them, but I know there are serious people working on ways to meaningfully incorporate them into education and I don’t doubt there are ways to do that productively. It’s probably obvious that “Have the LLM tell you the answer” isn’t one of them.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

‘Tis the season…

Agree. Just to ask (whether he knows or not) “what does it mean?”

“Embarrassing” and “horrifying”: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page "The best way I can put it is it feels like we're on a hijacked airplane."

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

After the taxes…

This is inspired brilliance. Hit them where it hurts.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

He’s clearly well-practiced in the proper shows of fealty to dictators.

It was genius to put Zero Mostel and Dick Shawn in the same movie.
The rest of the cast was wonderful, but Mostel & Shawn would be standouts in any company

The 🇺🇸 American satirical black comedy film “THE PRODUCERS” written and directed by Mel Brooks and starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Dick Shawn, Kenneth Mars, Estelle Winwood and Christopher Hewett premiered #OnThisDay in 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
