A lot of news published first to the web is never fact-checked, not unless the writer does it themselves (which is better than nothing! but any writer who is regularly fact-checked will tell you that there’s stuff they would never catch on their own)

So much of US foreign policy in the Middle East makes sense when you realize a disproportionately influential Christian sect believes Israel is the material component in their Summon Jesus spell

the stream of reporting about Alito reminds me of the reporting about Thomas's corruption. we've reached the point where we might not know every detail, but we know the story: Thomas is hopelessly corrupt, and Alito is a sniveling fascist moron. there's nothing more to it.

These procedural shenanigans are getting shrugged off but they represent, combined with the dormant and well intentioned national popular vote effort, a way for Trump to legally steal the 2024 election

It's bad enough that the SCOTUS is bought and paid for and ideologically aligned with fascists, but to have the GOP be in on the joke and make posts like this with zero repercussions makes it so much more humiliating to be an American.

The scariest part is that Trump could make this happen. We already saw last time that he only failed because a handful in his administration resisted.
Replace them with mindless yes-men, and we wake up in a fascist state overnight. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Now for ChatGPT in specific it can range anywhere from 5 questions to 50 to hit that level of water consumption; depends on the density of representation of associated tokens in the training data (how much it's been trained on stuff connected to your prompt); but before you think "maybe not so bad"…

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground. This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified

It's incredibly disheartening that every personal conservation measure I've taken in my entire lifetime can be neutralized by a single Fortune 500 company middle manager trying to replace some $35k/year admin assistants with a computer that parrots copy-writing to wow the lamest of MBA grads.

The contrast between the trucker convoy and the campus protests is stark, illuminating and dispiriting. A far-right anti-vaxx uprising gets laundered into "reasonable concerns"; a nonviolent student movement against mass murder gets smeared as bigoted.

They do though. They _all_ know how to barricade themselves because school shooter drills were what the cops recommended instead of literally any kind of law enforcement that might prevent school shootings.

It's amazing that in the US Constitutional system, it's possible to make rapid sweeping changes, but only if they're violent and evil. If Trump had the same determination to implement universal health care, he'd have no chance.
