My children insist on being the first off the elevator in our building yet dawdle at the threshold blocking my way and insist on walking in the middle of the hallways

And while it's true that relatively few black people are killed by police every year, these numbers are A) disproportionate to their population and B) a leading indicator of less severe but much more common experiences of discrimination. Getting killed isn't the only bad thing cops can do to you!

This is a very standard and very boring reactionary centrist argument, that the woke left refuses to acknowledge the existence of social progress.

In this view the George Floyd protestors either didn't know that minorities were doing better in 2020 than in 1960 or were actively lying about it.

I don't think that's what he's saying! He's saying that despite low numbers of black people being killed by police every year, high-profile police shootings gave Americans a false sense that racial progress had stalled.

But this isn't true!

WSJ OPINION
Ms. Clark's targeting may reflect a culture of disparate treatment, and the evidence provides reasonable cause for a federal probe into potential civil-rights violations. This would mirror the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation into Dearica Hamby's pregnancy discrimination claims against the WNBA and her team. Congress and the Labor and Justice departments would be justified in examining the facts.
At Harvard and Columbia during antisemitic protests, institutional leaders played down threats and failed to protect students. Congress and the Trump administration demanded answers.
Columbia's recent $221 million settlement for civil-rights violations shows the effect of such scrutiny.

Conservatives care about women’s sports in exactly two scenarios: Riley Gaines getting her ass beat, and seeing refs miss a jersey pull while Caitlin Clark is running around a screen

One of the things that constantly strikes me as I watch heterosexuality with binoculars from Gayville is how many men seem to want an accessory rather than a partner. Like, isn't this *boring*? Two hours at dinner with someone who never asserts themselves or challenges you?

Now, what's fascinating about today's chatbots, which vastly outperform Deep Blue, is that they work in a completely different manner.

Now, what's fascinating about today's chatbots, which vastly outperform Deep Blue, is that they work in a completely different manner.

this is referring to deep blue, the computer that beat Kasparov in chess in the 90s. it is absolutely not true that chatbots are better at chess than deep blue. Chess (and games generally) are in fact a very widely known weakness of LLMs. writing on AI without knowing this is wild.

I don't understand what is meant by a "Democratic Stephen Miller." Miller is motivated by contempt and hatred and his most successful tool has been his willingness to lie. "Hatians eating dogs and cats" and "invasion," etc.

Not even the truth beat those lie. So what is it they're asking for?

the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.
