Video of a woman dancing in a giant glass at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party.

Some MAGA accounts falsely claimed this didn’t actually happen. They are wrong once again.

Raise your hand if your brain is sufficiently capable of complex thought to understand why advocating an explicitly Christian volunteer military is not ideal.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Comment on a linked in post, from user Kurtis Loken who presents themself as "Experienced Metrology Engineer | AI/ML real world experience | Patented Solutions | R&D | Mass Production"

Comment reads:

Emily M. Bender You are a linguist. LLMs have proven some theories disproved others about how language works. I would think that would be an amazing time to be a linguist. 

Have you ever actually talked to an AI…I mean really talked to one? The Turing test has been passed. (Sonnet 4.5 has particularly impressed me when discussing ideas with it…definitely has passed my own Turing test.) 

I would really love to see a conversation between yourself and it discussing your views. That would make a great podcast. Have these models explain to you why your idea to ban them may or may not be a good idea. These things probably have their own opinions on the topic if someone would listen to them. Maybe that’s you?

Every day it feels more and more like a zombie apocalypse over on LinkedIn, in which you start a conversation with someone who you hope is an ordinary person and then a couple of turns in discover that they have surrendered their brains to the "AI" mass delusion.

The ACA was passed…<15> years ago

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Don’t host lying liars on the teevee shows to performatively lie in public.

If you’ve screwed up & done that anyway, end the interviews immediately & don’t invite the lying liars back again.

See above. Repeat.

Two views of a damaged wooden human-shaped sculpture shown from the front and back. The figure is missing parts of its arms and legs, with a cracked and worn surface, and is placed beside a black, red, and white measuring scale for size reference.

An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable.
The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. 🧡1/2

I'm watching the "IQ" test that is being bragged about.

Seriously, every 1st grader in America should pass this test.

Damn if not a lot of people can't pass this test, we should not be getting rid of Dept of Education.

The MOCA is a brief screening test used to detect mild cognitive impairment and early dementia.

Doctors use it when someone shows early signs of memory/thinking problems but still functions fairly well day-to-day β€” for example, to distinguish normal aging from early Alzheimer’s disease.

He didn’t!

Trump played far more often in his first term (260+ in four years versus Obama’s 330+ over eight years) β€” and is playing *more often* this time around.

A Red State Is Preparing To Execute A Man Who Was Never Proven To Have Killed Anyone Next week, Tremane Wood will have the chance to make his case for mercy. Oklahoma's attorney general is fighting to ensure his death.

It is a sign of such deep moral rot to have so many people working so hard -- and breaking so many laws -- to ensure that the state kills someone.
