If members of the press are worried they didnβt give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

My kid and I are rewatching S1&2, and were just talking about how hard it must be to write for L:R now that the real crimes are so much bigger and the real villains so much more ridiculous.

I wonder if Musk knows he much he's fucked the oligarchy? Like, they were reasonably safe from a revolution as long as they kept a dignified low profile and had flacks ensure their mentions always included the title "philanthropist". Now middle schoolers are out here ranting about Peter Thiel.

Itβs also his job. Since POTUS, VPOTUS and SoS wonβt intercede, it correctly falls to the MD Senator. Whatever Albrego Garciaβs status, his wife is a citizen and Maryland constituent.

In other words, because an electronic system cannot distinguish between a bad essay and an unusual one, students have to not only write well, they have to present a conventional point of view. 4/4

That also means if you have an original argument or an original construction or another other original POV, it's not going to align to any of the 500. So how does it decide on a score? Anecdotally, it appears to bucket highly original essays in with those that are semantically incoherent. 3/4

The electronic scoring engine uses latent semantic analysis to compare the new essay to 500 essays previously scored by 2 humans to guess how those humans would have scored this one. So the closer your essay matches one of those 500, the higher confidence it will have that you'd score the same. 2/4

Texas high school students have to take the TSIA2 Accuplacer test. I've heard some precocious students are being warned to dumb down their essays and write the obvious. So I've been reading the TSIA2 tech manual re: WritePlacer scoring and I can see why. 1/4

For sure! Especially with Dichen. But Dollhouseβs real premise was the βdisposable virginβ sex fantasy. The bigger implications of personalities-on-demand were touched on, but from what Iβd now describe as an incel POV. Lovers on demand, guilt-free assassins, and sexy psychopaths.

Do it. If they auctioned those items for charity it would look like self-serving rehab PR, but if you do it, itβs rebalancing the universe a squidge.

Trump doesnβt care about tariffs. He cares about extorting world leaders and titans of industry for exceptions. A stream of petty little dominance games to feed his narcissism. Letting Elon sacrifice reputation & wealth and pitting him against the cabinet for Trumpβs favor is another dominance game.

When dealing with criminals, there is no such thing as a one-time payoff. The Maryland guy ICE accidentally sent to El Salvador, left there in the first place because after his family paid a gang a βone time payoffβ to leave them alone, they kept coming back for more.

I've executed this exact type of project and I co-sign your experts' comments about the risks. 3 reasons to attempt it on this timeline: 1. Calamitous inexperience and hubris. 2. Intentional sabotage. 3. Hide illegal activity. In any case, it'll cost taxpayers billions by the time its over.
