Trump Bails Out Russia to Save His Own Hide Mr. Magoo as Commander-in-Chief In a move rich in historic irony, President...

Trump's gift to Putin to get his own ass out of the sling is both a huge concession to Russia and an unmistakeable admission that the elective war in Iran is having acute downstream political effects on Trump and Republicans in an election year.

'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.'

'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'PΓ‘draig.'

'Patty' is the shortened form of 'Patricia.'

The Trump administration's war memes are not merely grotesque β€” they are symptomatic of an administration that experiences the online-media world as more real than reality www.vox.com/politics/482...

Brooklyn Nurses Lose Health Care For Weeks Despite $15M From State The Brooklyn Hospital Center received a fraction of requested aid β€” and it’s not enough to reinstate more than 400 nurses’ health benefits.

Brooklyn Hospital is in serious fiscal trouble β€” and are not paying for its nurses’ health benefits because of it

$15M in emergency funding from the state isn’t going to solve the problem; one lawmaker called it a trickle of what’s needed

Despite the brilliance of the players, staff, and fans, the PWHL remains a fragile league as long as it is so reliant on a miscreant like Mark Walter for funding.

Everything is gender, because I do see this happening to professional/expert women a lot. At least some of this is β€˜surely you, a woman, can’t be right when this LLM is saying otherwise’

Coupled with a climate of increased anti-intellectualism and anti-expertise and the very effective AI propaganda machine, you have a perfect storm wherein spicy autocomplete is taken to be more objective, more trustworthy than marginalized experts.

Team, what programs are we using to make moodboards in the now times? I need to make one but the program I was using is GenAI slop now.

people make fun of lawyers for lots of things, and they're probably right to do so, but one thing a lawyer might have told you is not to appropriate people's identities in California.

This is the reality of what AI companies want for the future: where EVERYONE is unable to function without relying on them for "intelligence as a utility."

In order for them to sell this to us, they need to convince us our brains are never creative, interesting, able enough.

Anyway, loser conservatives want to make all our lives worse and are now actively stopping anyone who wants to help people from doing so.

Makes me think of the apparently new law in Indiana that won't let you *apply* to a college program (I assume at a state school?) if the graduates make less than 35k a year after graduation. Like, how much does a rural Indiana social worker make? Therapist? Teacher?

With a palette of just black, gold, and hues of blue, the Three Kings bearing gifts stand in a row, almost column-like, on the left half of the composition, with the seated Mary and Christ child on the right, against a great, ornamented, circular halo of gold.

For Epiphany, this glorious 1966 illustration of the Three Kings by the great Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000), best remembered for his enormous contribution to Disney Animation's visual style during the 1950s, particularly Sleeping Beauty (1959).

OMG this explains why I've been getting "we're running as much service as we can with the buses we have" (usually it's 'bus operators' and that's just another covid wave thing) notifications and also why the fucking bus routes are spotty as hell!

Call me a cock-eyed optimist, but I'd rather have a biosphere and clean water than a data center and strained power grid.

Okay, I’ve sent this many, many places the last 18 months and have gotten no bites. Would any editor be interested in a feature about how Rugby has a six year window to really capitalize on the chance to have an explosion of interest and success in the U.S. and how that could be done?

it's not just being a coward--they are racists who have very racist ideas about what people do, he brings up his 14 year old (white presenting) daughter because he is thinking racistly.

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is β€œwhat if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!
