Reconstruction 2.0 is going to have to look real hard at Idaho

This warms my cranky old professor heart

the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities

Truly they would

But I am not holding my breath for any real danger. Iran knows where Mar A Lago is if they want to make a point

Every time the US media want to gin up support for a faraway war they start a sleeper cell panic, just like the border immigrant “caravans” that conveniently disappear after elections

You know someone out there who was more of a criminal that this hacker (or a foreign intel agency that knows their shit) has these files

I wonder if the potential to use anyone’s name was there, waiting to be triggered by the right text getting scanned

Butlerian Jihad now

I hope no one but Podcast Jay shows up

Just did. They made it super easy to check if we qualified for the Anthropic case so perhaps there will be a database soon.

I know my book and academic papers are in the Anthropic corpus…how do we know if we’re eligible for this class? Because I would like to participate in the downfall of these losers if at all possible.

You just know this had to be how it went down with all grants not just NEH. Incredibly toxic.

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.

It’s time to start flipping tables” is the Democratic Party platform we need and deserve

Did they all lie about their shoe size?

A “Dear Colleague” by Any Other Name (opinion) Using all the tools in its toolbox, the Trump administration is now using the federal grants system to try to get colleges and universities to align with its ideology.

Feds are about to turn grant notices into little individual compacts on higher ed

So let me get this straight they are creating a deepfake avatar to be me in a meeting, but also deepfake detection

Do you know how many rich boys get degrees from fancy universities though

There’s always got to be someone at the bottom of the class too

Bush/Yale, Trump/Wharton, shit even Hegseth had to go somewhere to learn how to keg stand

Aren’t they a little busy right now

This could have paid for 8-10 of the research grants that got taken away from my colleagues

Everyone quick go look up your lifetime Social Security contributions and compare it to Kegseth’s lobster party budget

a woman is sitting in a living room talking to someone and says " i mean it 's one banana " ALT: a woman is sitting in a living room talking to someone and says " i mean it 's one banana "

This guy probably doesn’t know how much eggs cost

Has probably never bought an egg

I’d accept a cash settlement from Elon Musk in the amount on 10 years of my federal tax bill.

There are many fine swears that do not start with F

The “Secretary of War” just spent approximately 30x my entire lifetime Social Security contributions on crab and lobster and I have to do my taxes this month.

Impeach the lot of them.

Which [redacted] company did he go to work for and why is it Palantir

The Far Side cartoon from 12/6/1987 depicting a ship full of revelers heedlessly sailing through a body of water with mines bobbing in it, a warship in the background, and a small raft with a couple guys and a gun in the bow.
