I say it all the time:

FUNCTIONAL LITERACY IS NOT THE SAME AS AN ABILITY TO WRITE.

People who don't understand this will never be any good as fiction writers.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.

So to summarize:

- There is a pattern where Vought makes the RIFs too wide, apparently to flood the zone with sh*t and see who will draw protests.
- They restore some people after outrage and work by us.
- But we are still left with many who remain fired at the end.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

so apparently dick blick acquired another store's liquidation stock and they have an awful lot of Sennelier watercolors and Fabriano Artistico (including the "soft press" texture) at good prices.

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I've been nerding out on pigment science, how they're made, how they combine, why cobalt makes a million different blues and greens but because they're chemically similar they're all PB 36.

Was walking home at sunset and the clouds were beautiful. Going from blue and purple to pink and coral near the top, and I wondered about the science of it.
I was working out how I’d paint it.
Then I figured,there are people out there who probably have it down to a science.

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

That is 100% the hallmark of LLM-written text.

It reads like someone trying to pad their wordcount to meet the assignment spec.

At least the person on coke has energy. LLM-generated text either plods or is so falsely chipper you want to pull your own teeth out.

IF GOVERNMENT COULD BE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS, A BUSINESS WOULD ALREADY BE DOING IT

Government exists to *prevent* society from being run like a business. That's its literal purpose.
