there is this

only one I am seeing is arbitraging of AI implementation. Maybe it will work for a few of us in academia for a small period, but unless moats that exist (prestige, gatekeeping) resist, there hasn't been also a feel good story for sometime

She compared these strikes to a story in the Bible, when Jesus healed someone on a Sunday, contradicting religious rules that forbid work on that day. Some laws are worth breaking for the betterment of mankind, she said, just like the biblical story was trying to show.

My first thought was that the “gentleman” was Bolsonaro, but on twitter, the Brazilian reporter asking the question is skeptical; thinks Trump was referring to someone else.

She (Raquel Krähenbühl) followed up with Leavitt the next day, who said she wasn’t aware of any call btw the two.

Parte de imagens de câmeras de agentes de megaoperação pode ter se perdido por falta de bateria, diz secretário da PM

(or critical of the FCC chairman's statements.)

First, that is not a lot of tweets. Second, the tweets could have been coming from both sides - some could be critical of Kimmel's suspension while using these keywords. Then it goes on to cherry-pick a handful of tweets.

Really flimsy evidence of "furor".

This is incredibly sloppy work. There is absolutely no evidence here that Kimmel's suspension enjoys widespread support:
