I generally love your reporting but the illustration for this article is deeply weird. The conditions look much better than what is actually reported, mostly in terms of space per inmate. The inmates are depicted without faces, as well. It both minimizes the situation and dehumanizes the victims.

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.”

Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

VA Just Terminated Most Federal Union Contracts, National Nurses United Included The VA has terminated union contracts for over 360,000 healthcare workers, including nurses—raising urgent concerns about staffing, patient safety, and veteran care nationwide.

Our VA nurses & staff don’t deserve this. They’ve dedicated their lives to caring for veterans – and now they’ve had their union rights terminated overnight. We must stand with these heroes & fight to preserve collective bargaining for the people who protect our veterans.

I've also seen work where people use diffusion models to emulate much more computationally intensive models (earth systems models, for example). Then, the confidence analysis can be done empirically once, when the emulated model is published.

Sensitivity analysis attempts to get at this problem. Part of what makes it challenging is when model inputs are large. How do we define model variance over the space of all 1920x1080 images? Or all possible sentences?

Uproar as disability protesters in wheelchairs dragged out of House Medicaid meeting Republicans insist the proposed new work requirements won’t hurt people with disabilities, but disability rights advocates disagree

Praise from @aoc.bsky.social for the disability rights activists who protested: "I think that they have demonstrated a tremendous amount of courage and bravery putting themselves on the line in order to defend Medicaid for people across the country."

Over 80 Injured as High-Speed Hydrofoil Ferry Hits Whale in Japan More than 80 passengers were reported injured, several seriously, after a hydrofoil ferry apparently struck a whale while underway in the Sea of Japan on Saturday. The high-speed hydrofoil, named...

After some research, it's a real risk. This article doesn't say what happened to the whale: gcaptain.com/high-speed-h...

I'm excited. Hydrofoils are so efficient. But I do worry we'll see more wildlife collisions, seems like they'd be hard for the whales to hear and avoid. Hopefully not!

Mobilizing for better bike infra We’ve gotten better at finding safe bike routes. But the quality of our routes is limited by the quality of your city’s bike infrastructure. How do we make that infrastructure better? It doesn’t fall from the sky from benevolent bike storks. It requires grassroots organizing, political savvy, and the bravery to confront the car-addicted status quo. Through partnerships with local advocates, we regularly prompt Transit’s millions of riders to take action when their city’s transportation infrastructure is at stake.

Benevolent bike storks usually focus on distributing gravel bikes, in my experience 🪶🚲

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

They are native to the southeast US 🥲 haven't seen any. We do have lots of other beautiful spring plants I am learning, though 💜 and a random redwood tree someone planted on campus 50 years ago hehe

I miss them!!

yeah, my understanding is that's what is happening right now. but I think OP is talking about democrats forcing a government shutdown at the March 14 deadline.

They need 60 votes in the senate to approve the budget

We are going to win. But not immediately.

Panel 1: close shot of a female house sparrow against a stark green background. “Winter isn’t so bad” she says. Panel 2: same shot as first panel. “It gives me time to take risks in my art” Panel 3: a square canvas made out of bark is fixed to a tree trunk. On it we see a full self-portrait of the sparrow. Dried leaves and sticks and seeds form its body. A piece of farfalle and a purple flower serve as accents. Assorted sticks and cigarette butts make a fashionable border. Panel 4: sparrow is in foreground with her eye closed in artistic expression. “My most haunting work to date” she says.
