Rigoberto, a farmworker: β€œThe situation was that not so long time ago, the working conditions for the farmworkers were deplorable. The situation was that there were no toilets for the farmworkers, so they had to go in the bathroom in the field. I can imagine the humiliation they must have felt.”

This is an attempt to provide a veneer of sciency-ness to originalism. What this judge wants AI to do is something it doesn't do. The SBF of AI can't arrive soon enough to discredit the AI fad*. *there are some good applications, but it's never going to be Tony Stark's AI which is what people want.

A society ought to earn the right to an April Fools’ Day by generally being able to sort fact from fiction given a bit of time, and American society has not been meeting the requirements since 2015 or so.

He's right. "Originalism" is about stringing together a collection of words to support a predetermined outcome. There's no need for fidelity to facts, reliable description of source material, nor even logical consistency. It's one of the few tasks large language models could do.

This is highly revealing about both AI and originalism and probably not in the way the judge intended.

I hope that someone checks whether Mike Johnson's inclusion of gas exports in Ukraine funding has anything to do with Gordon Sondland's recent registration as a lobbyist for Ukraine.

All political strategy for 2024 should assume major media will be doing β€œbut her emails” at maximum volume. This compulsion of editors to not take sides on factual matters &bend over backwards to present both parties as roughly equivalent-this is just too baked in & will take a generation to change.

There is nothing more relaxing or enjoyable than having someone serve me a nice meal. That may be because I've been cooking for my family for decades, or it may be because what I'm being served isn't something I normally make myself.

McKay Coppins with a comforting appearance reporting that Trump has lost his touch on the stump - his own people get bored and stream out of his rallies as he rants on and on about his legal woes. Also says a surprising number of people don't yet realize he's likely to be nominated again.

msnbc minimizes BIDEN's popularity and advantage. Take this graph from Morning Bloe for instance. $117M vs $38M - no way this was unintentional.

This post came out of my experience at Twitter. When we were laid off, all my colleagues got 3 mos severance. Despite doing the exact same work, I got nothing. The more I thought about it, the more it became obvious that those workers who support us - custodians, cafeteria workers, deserve the same.

In some circumstances, it's a good idea just to keep masking forever. Healthcare, crowded public transportation, etc. And always if you're sick. And improved ventilation does not just help with COVID. That should definitely be a forever. It helps with other resp. diseases, allergies, mold...

It was a cheeseburger. In 1980. It was a drive-in movie-theater cheeseburger. Objectively it was probably horrific. But my dad took me to see The Empire Strikes Back at the drive-in so we could see it opening night, and it was magic.

I was about 13, after my parent's divorce. My dad took me to Alfie's Inn (suburban Chicago) by myself. Just us. No questions or comments on any of our pain, just a dad and a teen daughter sharing something we both loved. I still go there. I think of Dad every time, though he's been gone 41 yrs.

Read over this and I see a lot to be encouraged about, not least because it’s a demonstration that you’re taking the safety issues seriously. Bluesky has a chance to build a social media site that doesn’t inevitably become a sewer. The very engaged userbase is a major asset on the way to this goal.
