I'm sorry, but this may be the funniest Facebook AI slop I have ever seen. Bury me sideways in my coffin, brother. Let my dog see

Really looking forward to reading this!

The Irrational Decision How the computer revolution shaped our conception of rationality—and why human problems require solutions rooted in human intuition, morality, and judgment

I’m excited to announce that my new book, _The Irrational Decision_, is now available for pre-order from Princeton University Press.

We don’t need to invent hypotheticals. The Biden administration’s efforts to enforce antitrust law and regulate Wall Street engendered a much more intense reaction from the business community, including a barrage of lobbying, WSJ editorials, and tv ads and billboards.

Pickle-backs, I know. This is my first hop pickle!

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

We’re “hopping” pickle juice now? Is this a thing? Have I been away from home so long I missed this?

@dinfontay.com help?!

The guy outside just leaf blowing an empty parking lots is just pure America.

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

Just leaving this here as a heads-up ...

Have fully leaned into middle age. Just wandering around saying, “it’s really not the heat, it’s the humidity” and “this is a nice breeze” and “we needed this rain”.

I feel free.

Donald J. Trump 9+ @realDonaldTrump I was just informed that our Country's "Jobs Numbers" are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records - No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under "TRUMP" despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting "Kamala" elected - How did that work out? Jerome "Too Late" Powell should also be put "out to pasture." Thank you for your attention to this matter! 2.37k ReTruths 7.88k Likes Aug 01, 2025 at 2:09 PM

This is extremely bad. Soviet Tractor Production numbers stuff.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Tell your MP: The Online Safety Act isn’t working What's the problem? The Online Safety Act has been a disaster. Rather than protect children, millions of adults are facing widespread censorship, and teenagers are having their freedom of expression r...

Amtrak found out I wasn’t flying BA this trip and helpfully cancelled a train journey so I don’t miss that experience.

The Premature Guide to Post-Trump Reform American history offers three general strategies of repair and renewal.

There's a long tradition at @prospect.org of discussing remedy rather than just criticism and complaint. In that spirit, co-founder Paul Starr lays out an agenda for changes in the law, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution that Trump has shown we need. It's today's featured story.

Conglomerate obsessed teenage Jeff is freaking out.

Some telling quotes from a factory owner:

“Making money is just the icing on the cake... the entire industry has been squeezed to the point that no one has any profits . . . Unless we are all consolidated into one group . . . I think it is very difficult for the country to control this."

Traveling in America stirs something deep in me. I really do love this place. Great to be home.

Great thread on the biggest governing challenges facing the US for the foreseeable future.

Organizing to the deliver this will require immense resources…just not yet clear from where they’re coming.
