“We were better at deporting people” is maybe not the best angle for the Dems to take right now…

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

my basic “should I use generative AI” rules:

* the 3 D’s of automation are Dirty, Dull, & Dangerous, and Dull is the only one applicable—so stick to that

* dont use it for any task where doing it yourself would improve your skill at that task

* “hard to guess, easy to check” format + ALWAYS CHECK

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local government thugs stop, harass priests, cardinal intervenes”

Depends on whether you’re talking about taxable population in the Auricles of Confederation or House seats in the Constitution.

“Stop resisting,” Homan chants, as his agents pound the city’s face into the curb over and over again

Am going to guzzle a cocktail of every seed oil after that MAHA ad.

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

But then I hear prescribers say that something is medically or pharmacologically true about this or that medication “because it’s a controlled substance” and just…. No. Schedule II fentanyl does not have the same properties as Schedule II amphetamine or Schedule IV clonazepam.

Yes, we have a number of Schedule II and Schedule IV maintenance meds in my household. I am very much aware of the regulatory burdens on patients, prescribers, and pharmacists. For example, I cannot reliably get Vyvanse at my neighborhood pharmacy because their monthly DEA quota is insufficient.

Take a look at LibreOffice. VERY close functional match to MS Office, free software, no AI slop.

I imagine most people who think that are not sportscasters attending them for work.

We have some great science communicators who did not do postdoctoral research or become professors, and that isn't generally considered a blow to their credibility in itself.

I'm getting the vibe here that it's not the same for MD health communicators who didn't complete training + enter practice

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

I have similar feelings about doctors/pharmacists using the term "controlled substance" as if it were a scientific rather than a legal category.

The only thing controlled substances have in common is that the government has designated them as such.

My favorite part of this story is that Gabbard says she just had no idea what she was supposed to do, because the IG didn't tell her!

FFS Tulsi you're the DNI. Short of POTUS, the buck stops with you. It's your job to know, or to ask agency counsel, what you are supposed to do.

The last sentence/paragraph is *weird*

“During my tenure” —> last week?

“Difficult decisions have been taken” —> it’s not like I *liked* firing all those people.

Like what you want people to feel sorry for you?

Somehow the man's name is not "Hillary Clinton"

Viafaria is no longer in BOP custody. Perhaps DHS "captured" him from the federal prison in Oxford, Wisconsin?

All of that is pretty standard boilerplate. The bit about "does not purport to set forth all of my knowledge and information" is to guard against a defense lawyer coming along later and saying "well if XYZ was true, why wasn't it in this complaint application?"
