Far from being deterred by the 5th circuit, federal judges in Texas appear to be ordering the release of more ICE detainees than before on due process/constitutional grounds. Here is Judge Jason Pulliam, a Trump appointee, joining their ranks. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The US won second in total medals at the Winter Olympics for the first time. Two thirds of US medals were won by women.

White collar impunity is quasi-legal canon. This abuse of the constitutional order must be utterly destroyed.

A new and lasting republic can only see to it that severe white collar crime is justly dealt with on par with mass homicide.

You know when you're asking for advice or whatever from people and then they reply with "I asked ChatGPT and here's what it said"

That's less than helpful! It's like horrendously wasteful on every single axis and also spectacularly literally thoughtless!

I know it's the least of Minnesota's worries, but I truly hope that Wild game attendance tanks after this.

American Psychological Association Reaffirms Support For Trans Youth Care, Pushes Back Against NYT A recent article from Jesse Singal in the New York Times seemed to indicate the organization might be quietly retreating from supporting trans youth care.

It's really cool that the GM of the Minnesota Wild invited Kash Patel to the locker room celebration at the Olympics, and three Wild players went to Trump's State of the Union

Feels like not just any people should know, but people in the profession that can possibly do something about it.

Dick Durbin says part of the FBI’s investigation of the murder of Charlie Kirk was delayed because of Kash Patel’s misuse of FBI flight personnel.

Image of a Virginia Democrats' proposed congressional map that is drawn to elect a ten-to-one Democratic majority and flip four Republican seats in 2026. The district lines are displayed over top of a basemap with major roads and cities labeled. The districts are colored by the 2024 presidential winner's margin of victory, with Kamala Harris districts in blue and Donald Trump districts in red. Darker shades represent larger margins of victory. An embedded chart shows the 2024 presidential election results and the adult population racial demographics in each district. Kamala Harris won 10 of the 11 districts, while Black voters would retain their ability to elect their preferred candidates in Districts 3 and 4, which remain safely Democratic.

NEW: Virginia Dem legislators have passed their new 10-1 congressional map targeting 4 Republicans. Gov. Spanberger will likely sign it soon.

It would take effect for 2026 if voters pass it in an April 21 referendum (litigation pending).

Anthropic is betting that holding out will be good for its brand. The DoD is approaching it like a loyalty test.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

I just don't believe that extrapolating patterns in language into a mathematical model leads to "pattern recognition" or to conceptualization or thought or any such things. It's more accurate to say the philosopher trains the model with instructions. But she's out here talking about parenting it.
