Yeah we all know that Jonathan Greenblatt would love to see Khalil deported to Syria or Algeria because Greenblatt is a raging racist

I was talking to a child psychiatrist who was saying that even in Oregon with its protections the lawsuits have had a chilling effect re: care for minors especially

Chanda I cannot get a fucking CONSULTATION for top surgery for my adult child in ILLINOIS. The absolute cowardice and lack of care for trans kids and adults - despite the fact they all know where this leads - is unforgivable.

i need every dem to get checked for brain worms and while they are getting checked we need to replace them with people who are normal and want good stuff to happen

I understand the political theory behind this - “look, we’re on your side re: affordable gas” - I just think it’s a stupid fucking theory

let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

correct, if this passes Trump will yell I CUT GAS PRICES and the media will, at best, go “both parties claim credit for suspending the gas tax” and inasmuch as anyone gets any political benefit (they won’t) it’ll go to Trump

Moreover, said suggestion could intensify the existing structural issues. If such a technology were widespread and adopted for institutional purposes, the training and deployment of translators could be viewed by administration as an anachronistic practice despite their continued necessity.

Prof. @akoustov.bsky.social, the point of tenure is academic freedom, but you seem to be either announcing to the world that you aren't interested in doing research, that you have no respect for the work (or time) of other scholars, or both.

Sure, LLMs are useful for:

1. Fraud
2. Plagiarism
3. Cognitive off-loading

Which of those use-cases are you promoting?

So, uh. In disability studies we call this a "disability dongle" or a techno-utopian solution to a problem that appeals to the able-bodied imagination rather than the actuality of disabled life itself.

Deploying a LLM to translate a legal notice for an asylum seeker functions similarly.

Once on a panel for a professional conference, someone asked me if technology gives me hope for access.

I said let’s get ramps on every building first, and the tech bro manager was PISSED. People want to believe that they invented the answer to systemic issues…without understanding the issues.

A Friend's Death to Mourn, and to Serve Time for - Bolts An Alabama teen was shot alongside his friend, then prosecuted for his killing. His case highlights a particularly harsh doctrine in American criminal punishment: felony murder.

The Alabama governor commuted the death sentence of a man, set to be executed, who was convicted under the felony murder doctrine — meaning he wasn’t the person to commit a murder.

Bolts reported last year on how Alabama is extraordinarily prone to prosecute people for murder under felony murder.

Every day I read about events/atrocities/political developments that make me think "well, that's an unfathomable number," and yet I'm expected to go about my my life as though nothing has happened. The baseline level of dissonance we're intended to live with in the US is simply unreal to me.

my friend is keeping that list for us, it’s also doubling as a list of homosexuals

no lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this could be about his demanding people wear his shoes or giving him a list of jews or anything he demands. would not be doing any of it!!!

cannot imagine acquiescing to the big wet president’s demands

sorry we are not doing “gimme a list of jews” again! if you are in charge of giving someone a “list of jews” you should not be doing that! we are not doing lists of anyone!!!!!!

But the Penn inquiry has revived concerns about the aggressive steps the Trump administration is using to stamp out antisemitism.

What are you talking about? The Trump administration and the MAGA movement have stoked antisemitism, not attempted to "stamp it out."

The Trump administration has repeatedly adopted a hard line toward elite universities, which it regards as opposed to its ideology and as hot spots of discrimination.

Nearly every article about the Trump administration's supposed concern with antisemitism at universities winds up revealing that they are engaged in an ideological war on higher education and are using authoritarian methods to fight it.

it is your duty to shout WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOSEEEEE as loudly as possible at anyone wearing Trump Shoes, ideally until they walk into the nearest river

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

Pleased about this and also I am a never Rahm-er

There is literally nothing he can say that will get my vote

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

Vice officers - who investigate illegal gambling and alcohol activity — were instructed to wear face coverings, Gripp said. "Vice personnel routinely work undercover assignments. Protecting their identities helps preserve their ability to continue that work," he wrote. Recently proposed City Council legislation that would ban all law enforcement operating in Philadelphia from concealing their identities by wearing masks on the job. The incident has also resurfaced concerns about a legacy of law enforcement aggressively policing LGBTQ+ spaces in Philly: During his time as police commissioner in the 1960s and 1970s, former Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo had a reputation for instructing police to raid businesses suspected of having gay patrons.

always good when your police force is compared to rizzo’s!

"No direct complaints were received by this office," Todd wrote over email. No state police officers were instructed to wear face coverings during the inspection, she said. "The PPD did not receive such a complaint" about underage drinking either, Gripp wrote. He did not immediately respond to questions about how state police and Marsha's employees got that impression. February's incident was part of "a standard compliance check" that is carried out on a monthly basis in tandem with state police officers and L&I inspectors. Marsha's was one of 17 businesses police visited that night, Gripp said.

follow up question for sergeant gripp: name the other businesses.
