Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

the very very very best case for Gaiman, on the facts, is 'I pressured very young women I had financial power over into BDSM practices' - in other words, still unethical as shit, just not illegal. and that is the *best* case.

And this is not a limitation of LLMs that can be solved by feeding them more data - as far as I can see, it is a permanent structural limitation of technologies of this kind

LOST really broke a bunch of people's brains which ironic because the lesson I learned from LOST was "great television can come from watching people make absolutely terrible decisions that they know even as they are making them are terrible"

My eye misread the first "plate" in "Pacific Plate" as "Plato" and I was v confused/excited for about a half a second

I don't do connections any more but I think a big part of it is dividing all sixteen of the words into four groups. If you have a set of words A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 etc to D3 D4, and you find that you can put A2 B1 B2 D3 into a group that makes sense, that will leave you with B3 and B4 to match up somehow

I called rho "p" for like six years because an undergrad instructor steered me very wrong. P equals M V, we all were told.

The Limey? He lets Peter Fonda live at the end, though he does a lot of damage along the way.

This has gotten surprisingly little attention β€” it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now β€”Β but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

That reads to me as a joke, a variant of the "does Putin have the piss tape?" thing

Ah! I'm not familiar (it never gets talked about!)

"Made a bajillion dollars" and "never gets talked about" and "came out after you had done significant design work on Dresden" is such a small overlap on the Venn diagram that I can't guess what game you're talking about and even though it's tangential to your point it bugs me now

Oates: [extinguishes candles with a sword flick]
Oates: so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates

"Girlnobody" and "girlanyone" both give me a pause I don't experience with say "girlsemiotics."

There's a beat where the bunny cop tricks the fox into providing her with a very then pretext for trespassing without a warrant, and the film presents this as the bunny being plucky and clever and not as too lazy to get a warrant

If self-deprecation was a competitive sport, I probably wouldn't even get a medal.

Nightmare employee experience and speaking personally, nightmare customer experience too.

Fuck off Target. Fix your DEI policies, pay your employees more instead of regulating their emotions, then apologize for 10 years. Until then, eat boycott bitches!

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments β€œPeople say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. β€œI think it would be great.”

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

There will be no AGI, there will be no colonization of mars and no robot helpers, not made by any of these people, because they don’t make anything, they manipulate stocks and build houses of cards with shell corporations
