This is fucking stupid and is meant to encourage censorship of minorities and LGBTQ specifically trans people online. But your senator won’t care about that. When you call them to appose this bullshit mention that it has the potential to clog the already slow judicial system with frivolous lawsuits

Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

Never ask a woman her age
A man his salary
And an American band why they never tour in Canada

This is the entire thing

So true #canvas #academicsky

i've come to the nasty opinion that every single "innovative solution" offered in the ed space is a cheap grifter attempt to work around that simple reality 👆

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg won’t back off his planned contempt hearings next week and says the crime-fraud exception would overcome potential privileges. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hochul, Trump Poised for Clash on AI Regulation: New York Brief Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation that would make New York the first state forcing advertisers to disclose the use of AI to replace human actors, hours before President Donald Trump issued an order seeking to limit state-level AI regulation.

Steve has been promoted to branch manager for trying his best.
Congrats, Steve!!!

If this proposal becomes reality, international conferences in the US will become a thing of the past.

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:

The mood in Sweden, across the political spectrum:

"For Trump, European Democracy is the Largest Threat" - DN

"Trump's New Strategy Drags the World to Hell" - Aftonbladet

"The 'Donroe Doctrine' is a Threat to Europe" - SvD

Rich tech dudes are obviously mad that people don't revere the rich anymore, and I think that's part of why they want to replace all of the people around them with AI that will stroke their ego

As predicted, here come Santa Monica's megaevent opportunities, including a Michelob Ultra-sponsored World Cup fan festival and France's hospitality house in 2028.

Image of Indiana Republicans’ attempted new congressional gerrymander that was designed to turn their currently gerrymandered 7-to-2 majority into a 9-to-0 majority. An accompanying chart displays the 2024 presidential results for each district. Every district is a shade of medium to dark red, and five districts crack the Indianapolis metropolitan area to prevent the heavily Democratic city and its suburbs from electing a Democrat or two. Two districts also split the Democratic-leaning northwest along Lake Michigan by combining the region with rural areas further south and east.

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.

Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

Kilmar Abrego Garcia freed from federal immigration detention, his attorney's office says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from an immigration detention center in Pennsylvania following an order from a federal judge issued Thursday, according to his attorney’s office.

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

@twinkdefcon i understand missing rainbow capitalism but part of the entire critique was that corporate interests would abandon LGBT advocacy as soon as doing so became politically and economically risky and that critique has been pretty categorically proven right

Many Americans Are Open to Car-Free Living — Human Transit Is Americans a “car culture” or are they “car dependent”?  Do they drive because they love driving, or are they in an unhealthy relationship with a substance it would be happy to do without?  Obviousl...

An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living.

The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options.

Internal oppression by a rapidly escalating authoritarian clique? Sure. Looming civil war? I'd give you that.

But an invasion? Tell the folks in Ukraine and Gaza who have seen entire cities flattened, or 1000000 dead Iraqis that.

Again: not discounting the fact that what is going on needs to stop.

Many, many Americans in the replies saying this is wrong "because the US is invading itself right now." And look, I get what you're saying, and the shit that's currently going on in the US is awful, but I think a lot of Iraqis (and soon possibly Venezuelans...) and other people might want a word.

I highly recommend calling your representatives over this KOSA bill. If you are a furry, if you post or consume content online - not just furry stuff, but any kind of news media, if you are LGBTQ+, this bill will negatively affect you.

The claim that rigor is something inherent to STEM and not inherent to the humanities is one of the essential components of weird VC techbro ideology, and the funny thing is that they got this idea directly from a very vocal subset of humanities professors.

Looks like at least a few of our representatives are learning to avoid the "nuh uh" trap.

Bonus: a lot of casual mass deportation supporters probably had no idea that someone could serve in combat without having citizenship beforehand, let alone being given it after.

It's like one of those movies where someone is trying to convince people they're not infected with the virus but it's the president

EPA eliminates mention of fossil fuels in website on warming's causes. Scientists call it completely wrong.
