there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
Yesterday, the NM DOJ began its investigation at Zorro Ranch. Why did the FBI tell NM to drop its case in 2019? Who asked them to do so and why?
That’s why this new investigation is so important. Survivors have waited too long for justice, and NM is leading the way.
I know so many of you are scared, angry, and downright pissed off about what’s happening with Trump’s war in the Middle East.
So, I want to give a little breakdown on what’s happening, Congress’s authority, and what comes next.
Hey, @krqe.com … long ≠ large. The Rio Grande is 4th in terms of length and drainage area but far, far, far from the top in terms of average discharge (which is how I think most people would define river size). In terms of discharge, maybe it’s in the top 100?
You better believe we’ll be investigating.

“Bill Haneberg used to be the Lexington-based director of the Kentucky Geological Survey and has never been president of anything.”
Or build data centers AND federal prisons on ‘em, use the inmates as human computers, reduce watershed protections, and keep exacerbating downstream flood severity just like in the beautiful clean coal days…the Steve Gardner and Hal Rogers plan for prosperity

Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper?
Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.
Oh wow, I am actually shocked that this happened. Good to see -- advocates did a ton of work to get attention for this case
My extra radical far loony left position is that no one should ever be allowed to make a profit from academic publishing. It is a public good. See also: education, healthcare (on a good day, public transport…)
Tonight, I was looking at water.noaa.gov to see where the US is flooding. My 11-year old pointed to the ongoing major flooding in North Dakota, and I said "Oh, that's Devils Lake. It's always flooding there." They asked "Why?" and a rabbit hole yawned before me.
Having mastered epidemiology, Russian history, toilet paper supply chain logistics, bridge design, balloon aeronautics, and large language models, I'd like to offer my thoughts on how the closing of the Strait of Hormuz will impact Brent crude....(1/67)
Officials have detected PFAS levels above federal guidelines in at least 15 water systems across NM—including Albuquerque’s VA Hospital.
While the feds under this Administration are dismantling water quality standards, NM is acting to protect our waters. Because, water is life.

Just opened an email from REI, and they were trying to sell me a $200 Osprey daypack.
I think more people would be into things like hiking and camping if we didn't do this shit. $800 Dyneema tents and $1200 sleep systems and TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR DAYPACKS.
Is there an acceleration in global warming expected in the CMIP6 climate models? yes! But not as easy to detect in the real world.

(see also: www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar... from 2024).
This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.

The most predictable result ever.
And, of course, 20 to 30 inches of rain would under almost any circumstances be cause for panic.
This is terrific. Writing is a way to think; waiting to write until you've worked everything out is counterproductive. On the discomfort of thinking through writing, from @patthomson.bsky.social
Arts | From Ornette Coleman to Peter Brötzmann, our critic picks five free jazz records that capture President Trump’s loose, improvisational approach to war with Iran.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran
IPCC: thousands of scientists, years of writing and multiple rounds of peer review.
The DOE Climate Working Group report: “I made five calls for five scientists.”
Dear DOE: That’s not how you assemble a climate assessment. That’s how you assemble a panel for cable news.
