you know how fake news destroyed everyone's ability to know what's real?
i've started noticing that middle schoolers think every piece of art is AI, so that's neat
“Overall, the study participants who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those espoused by the AI.”
Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.
This headline sucks. "Tilly Norwood" did not respond to a goddamn thing.
A former Missouri police officer who took nude images from women’s phones during traffic stops was sentenced to two years in prison on Wednesday.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

totally normal guy in sweatpants
The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people.

"Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software. You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind). This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal. In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft. No other company can yet do this."
as Tesla unravels Elon Musk will be forced to be increasingly incoherent with his vaporware hype slop until he's just left screaming incoherent strings of non sequiturs about GLORMS and interdimensional portals
"Trump gets donations, you get massive Ticketmaster surcharges — service fees, platinum fees, per-order fees, payment processing fees, facility fees, magical money-sh*tting unicorn fees — on top of already sky-high ticket prices." — @lizdye.bsky.social
ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it
Ever wonder what stories fairies tell about humans? By the Way is a collection of fairy tales with a twist. It flips the script on classic fantasy, exploring a world where mythical creatures are the main characters and humans are the stuff of legend. In these pages, a dying swamp spirit contemplates the little girl who brings her a goldfish, while three scheming goblins are outsmarted by a clever child. A caravan of changelings searches for the mysterious people who walk the roads with hounds and horses, and a brave teddy bear knight sets out to rescue his best friend from nightly terrors. From a stray cat's sinister encounter to many more strange adventures, the stories in By the Way are filled with whimsical characters and unusual circumstances. Blending poetry with prose and a dose of art and humor, this collection offers something for everyone. All you need is a little imagination and a careful glance over your shoulder.
The sequel is coming! The sequel is coming!

I have literally never seen someone sweat through a suit like that and it makes me think he needs to see a doctor immediately
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.
Most people waste years doing exercise that construction equipment crushes in hours.
I've trained for 10 years. Half was cardio. Quarter was weightlifting. Quarter was cross training.
My new backhoe can do all of that work in hours.
The exercise game has changed forever.
jfc that post credits scene
well played, Deck Nine
probably the best thing Cybertrucks did was wake up millions of Americans to the fact that modern pickup trucks cost as much as they do
a lot of folks were genuinely shocked to learn a mid-range Ford F150 costs $65,000 after assuming for their whole lives they were working-class vehicles
simply incredible to have a guy with Deus Vult tattooed on his arm say jack and/or shit about fatwas
I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled — cancelled, if you will.
“Free speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment — says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.
Judge it thus.
the Republican party deserves everything that's coming
The response is….comprehensive.
Oops! Looks like "Chicago Progressive Partnership" (the supposedly separate super PAC running this attack ad) just outed themselves and confirmed the speculation that it's the same group (AIPAC) behind the pro-Fine/anti-Biss super PAC "Elect Chicago Women" aka: ECW
"ECW: You are now opted-out..."
X is a fascist propaganda website.
My colleague Jack Baker broke yesterday allegations by Kat's campaign that Fine's field director attempted to covertly get info about campaign strategy.
Today, Kat's campaign provided us video of the incident and named the alleged spy: Madeleine McGrath.
McGrath has now deleted their LinkedIn.
This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
