Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.

Non-natalism – Spectre Journal A case for being against pronatalism Leslie Root shows how misguided it is for the left to accept pro-natalist positions. Worry about declining birth rates is based on a misinterpretation of the Total Fertility Rate, and minor social pol...

i mean i get it. i always get a little upset when an austrian hottie dumps me

all i’m saying is if you’re gonna be creepy and *negotiate with the tooth fairy* to keep your kids teeth you might as well lean into the creepiness

see, the issue is that they’re hidden in the altoid tin when they could instead be in a glass jar on a shelf in the guest bathroom specifically placed so anyone going in will see it

so i am teaching an upper-level undergrad class on the economics of work in the fall and while i have a fairly large list of readings to include it's not my area of expertise. are there any books or articles you would recommend? some of the topics i am including in the class are in the next post:

oh

it's either that or he's pitched putting his intelligence in data centers to sell to people because he thinks he's a genius

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

i'm a firm believer that most shows would be improved by having lesbian surrogate moms and/or gay surrogate dads so that's def a point in its favor

i just don't see how you can see something like this and support the use of chatgpt or other llm's

why watch another iteration of some fantasy world where cops are apparently not racist and not constantly using excessive force when you can watch countess luann perform "money can't buy you class" instead?

oh i will definitely take a look at that, thank you!

oh no, that's why it's so popular still, isn't it? it literally hasn't changed. it is a half hour of nostalgia at this point

america's funniest home videos can go too. at this point it's just a half hour of youtube clips it doesn't need to be a show anymore

my plan to fix america is to replace all the cop shows on here with all the various housewives

using "or worse: trick them into waiting too long to have babies" to describe feminism is, to put it mildly, really fucked up framing

just a little race science, as a treat

you do not have to do racism to experience “the frisson of transgression” you can simply shoplift an eyeliner pencil or cheat on your husband instead

not as good as yours

i'm gonna be honest i'm a little ashamed of myself for not already having him in there
