suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:

they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

Do you still have that tie? That is awesome 😎

Not sure if any single part of academia felt more like a weird cheat code than Interlibrary Loan. Like, I just say a book I want, basically any book, and this crack team of experts just *get it*????

19 year old freshman just wants to go home for Thanksgiving to see her family, she gets deported to Honduras.

He gets a full presidential pardon.

Both are Honduran. Only one is a criminal.

Brazil has developed a one-dose vaccine for Dengue !

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:

"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."

That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Any Reagan Foundation staff, and any lawyers who help them, should be named and humiliated into the Stone Age, made socially and legally radioactive, if they try any bullshit.

Exclusive: Major federal immigration operation headed to San Francisco Bay Area The Trump administration has dispatched more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to Coast Guard Base Alameda and they’ll begin to arrive Thursday.

Looks like we are about to see a significant increase in snatch-and-grab operations around the Bay Area

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Okay, did NOBODY vet this man? He's like an onion, but every layer is a new Milkshake Duck. Y'all can't find one former white vet for the job who isn't a Nazi? Call me optimistic, but I find that hard to believe.

you cannot defeat trumpism with a politics which cannot even argue that it is wrong. because apart from the incompetence, it is wrong. i mean morally.

There’s not a single topic a fascist can’t shut you down on by asking if you’ve done four tours of duty. How many tours of duty does he think you have to do before you can question him about the raping?

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says “I’m a Nazi.”

Genevieve McDonald •.• 27m • 8: I've run out of self-restraint, worse than when the guys on the train to Boston were fan boying over Reds Eats. The DC consultant class has fucked up our US Senate race again and you all need to stop snipping at each other. This is seriously the dumbest timeline. Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest. He's not an idiot, he's a military history buff. Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means. His campaign released it themselves to some podcast bros, along with a video of him shirtless and drunk at a wedding to try to get ahead of it. The vault is open for the GOP to fucking crush any dreams we had in the general and literally everyone I know is fighting with each other on social media. We cannot be this painfully stupid.

At the risk of spiking the ball, maybe a second or two of reflection is warranted for the “Maybe Platner just didn’t KNOW it was a SS Totenkopf until now and it was an innocent mistake” crowd on here

The amount of personality Rose imbues in these pots is remarkable. This thing feels like it’s about to scurry off the table.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

She has no real way of explaining the danger of their situation to her son, who is 17 years old but cognitively closer to a toddler. And as a single mother too weak to forage, she has no real way of ensuring their survival. She also is too old to benefit from a recent policy change the Thai government made in a bid to prevent mass starvation, granting work rights to some of the 107,000 Myanmar refugees who, like her, live in Thailand’s border camps. Her son never learned to speak, and needs her help with everything from getting dressed to using the toilet. Since the funding cuts, their survival has hinged on the charity of her Christian church, whose members occasionally give her handfuls of their rice. She suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, and begins to sweat and grow dizzy when her hunger is at its fiercest. Some days, she eats nothing.

when the people who shuttered USAID learn of a diabetic single mother and her disabled son starving to death 9,000 miles away because of aid cuts, they don't see failure or dereliction or tragedy, but rather success: the people they view as unworthy of life are dying
