As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.
It is maddening to see people animated by false allegations of fraud against daycare workers making pennies compared to the billionaires defrauding Americans to the tune of, well, billions, all while investing in and running platforms to spread the daycare fraud lies

One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.
How do we know?
Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.
Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.
I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
infant mortality is about to go right back up to pre-1965 levels.

Fire flows through gutters meant to carry water to trees in Tehran.
Death flows where life once did.
May God forgive us.
(Video has been geoconfirmed.)
These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.
MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

the more companies are able to push workers behind closed doors or far-away screens the easier they are to abuse. and the less likely customers will see their struggle aligned with the struggle of said workers.
tbh, I don’t get why people are going “omg read the article” about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.
YESSSS
Life is short, friends. Spend as much of it as you can loving people.
A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more.
The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.
It's worth noting that Israeli Jewish leaders & American Christian Nationalist leaders are cynically using each other in the sure knowledge that the other believes nonsense & can thus be instrumentalized toward specific ends. There will be no 2nd Coming & Israel cannot shape the region as it wishes.

Do liberals know that people in other countries are human beings? Like, do they actually know that? Genuine question.
Maybe putting people who *want* to bring about the end of the world in charge was not a great idea.
"to be free, we have to be feared" is a fucking bleak statement and extremely telling about the sad way the ruling class sees the world.
For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.
This is probably gonna get lost in the whole 'war' thing happening this weekend but...
"Patel’s demand that rotating SWAT teams provide his girlfriend with security for singing appearances, personal engagements and errands is unprecedented in the FBI"
