“Leftist Terror Cells in Texas” sounds a lot more made up than “card carrying members of the communist party” ever did.

The “Bill of Traditions” was an excellent addendum to the Constitution.

A couple of times I’ve come across references to companies that specialize in offering independent medical opinions to insurers.

For money.

Which to me suggests that their independence also includes some dependence.

Heaven have mercy on us all—Presbyterians and Pagans alike—for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending

They ought to consider paying them more.

I’d say that the big deal is he’s doing it and we should all have taken note by now and impeached him already.

I feel like if you used to struggle to summarize long emails in dactylic hexameter, that AI can really help boost your productivity.

I’ll concede that the ACA was originally a Republican proposal for MA, but all they’ve done since it was passed in 2010 is complain about it, lie about it, undermine it, sue to overturn it, and try to repeal it.

…& talk about replacing it with “something better,” without ever showing the something.

There are men out there making way more money playing video games than I make as a professional architect.

Twice in one week the president stood in front of the military and called for their aid in eliminating his political opposition.

Twice in one week.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Let’s go stop him right now, and then I’ll buy the first round at the bar where we hash out the nomenclature afterward.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

I’m at Oak Hill Cemetery volunteering for the history tours. The announcer can be heard very clearly, but no crowd noise.

I think about Limbaugh every so often. I think of his is progenitor of a lot of damaging attitudes and gleeful ignorance.

Also, I think whenever one of these “commitments” is restated, it just gets added to the running total.

Like when I count 45 cents in my piggy bank every morning and casually round it up to $14 at the end of the month.
