The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove provided DHS with legal advice regarding the Court’s order as to flights that had left the United States before the order issued, through DHS Acting General Counsel Joseph Mazzara. Mr. Mazzara then conveyed that legal advice, as well as his own legal advice, to Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. See 6 U.S.C. § 113(a)(1)(J). After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. As explained below, that decision was lawful and was consistent with a reasonable interpretation of

I think Madrigal's claim is wrong because a) it overstates the average quality of shit people see online already, and b) the cost of making not-garbage is going to zero right along with the cost of making garbage

👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
So, we asked Pritzker to weigh in on the go-to debate for every "Star Wars" nerd: Which movies are the best? Here's his ranking of the 11 major films in the series: 1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 2. "Star Wars" (1977) 3. "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 4. "Rogue One" (2016) 5. "The Last Jedi" (2017) 6. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005) 7. "The Force Awakens" (2015) 8. "Solo" (2018) 9. "The Phantom Menace" (1999) 10. "Attack of the Clones" (2002) 11. "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

No. Kevin McAlister is a newly emancipated humanity reckoning with the death of God. The Wet Bandits are the ancestral fears he must overcome in order to create his own value system.
lastpositivist.bsky.social lastpositivist.bsky.social @lastpositivist.bsky.social · 3d
Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

Trump is so obviously happy to actually be spending time with a cool dude instead of the vile shit-nosed flunkies that are constantly squirming between his toes. It must be incredibly refreshing to breathe even one lungful of air that doesn't have the fetid taste of Stephen Miller thick upon it.

@minimaxir.bsky.social inspired me to see how much text nano banana pro can fit in a 1k image

"generate an image crammed with small text. fill the entire image with a 1200 word short story about a dog solving a mystery"

it says this was 547 tokens. it's not all coherent and it's not even all words

Software 2.0 relies on validation

If your code base doesn’t have verification & controls that are as good or better than your senior dev, you’ll get slop
A large pink slide fills most of the image, displayed in a bright glass-walled auditorium. A presenter stands beneath it on a red circular carpet, wearing a dark T-shirt and dark pants, holding a clicker. Slide title (top, in large red text): “The Problem: Most Codebases Lack Sufficient Verifiability” Subheading in smaller text: “Humans work around incomplete infrastructure. AI agents cannot.” The slide is divided into two rounded pink boxes: ⸻ Left box: “What Humans Can Handle” A bulleted list in red text: • 60% test coverage (“I’ll test manually”) • Outdated docs (“I’ll ask the team”) • No linters/formatters (“I’ll review it”) • Flaky builds (“I’ll retry”) • Complex setup (“I’ll help onboard”) • Missing observability (“Check logs”) • No security scanning (“We’ll catch it later”) • Inconsistent patterns (“I know the history”) ⸻ Right box: “What Breaks AI Agents” Bulleted list with each line marked by a red “X”: • No tests → can’t validate correctness • Outdated docs → makes wrong assumptions • No quality checks → generates bad code • Flaky builds → can’t verify changes • Complex setup → can’t reproduce environment • No observability → can’t debug failures • No security checks → introduces vulnerabilities • No standards → creates inconsistency ⸻ At the bottom in a wide pink bar: “Most organizations have partial infrastructure across the eight pillars. AI agents need systematic coverage to succeed.” Tall windows behind the stage reveal greenery and modern architecture outside.

neat use of LLMs to extract discrete data out of survey responses. especially love the transparency around the exact model (GPT-5.1) and prompt used
A short methods detour One method of analysis would be for a researcher to assign values for each answer based on their own idea of where positions belong on a scale in some two-dimensional space — say, from -10 to 10 on both axes, with negative values representing more liberal positions and positive values represent more conservative. However, this method poses several challenges, and two especially stand out: First, the bias of the researcher would inevitably pollute their analysis, since what one individually deems as ‘left’ or ‘right’ varies by person and by context. Second, it would take an unreasonable amount of time. To solve these problems, I rely on a large language model (LLM) to return various pieces of data for each answer in our survey. Using the computational backend to OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 model (in other words, using computer code instead of ChatGPT on my browser) I send each text answer to the LLM and ask it to perform the following tasks. First, the LLM identifies the major political issues and values mentioned in the response. If there are multiple issues or values mentioned, the model separates them with a comma. If a response is blank or says something like “idk bro” I ask the model to skip it. Second, I ask the LLM to place the party the person described on the two-axis economic/social left-right political spectrum. I have the LLM return a rating from -10 to 10 for how left-right the described party is on each axis, and tell it that 0 represents a party in the middle. I give the LLM examples of what constitutes a traditionally left- or right-wing party in the US. Third, I ask the model to rate the strength of ideology in a person’s response on a scale from 1 to 10 — with 10 representing a very ideological answer with strong partisan cues and ideologically charged issues, and 1 representing an answer with no ideological lean at all (eg, “affordability”). The full prompt used in this analysis is given in the footnotes.1

thought this was really interesting though i tend to think it would be useful to tug apart some of the different senses of "ideology" being used here (and in the ongoing 'moderation' discourse more generally)

I'm no expert but I don't remember a time when we had a judge write up a big list of crimes committed by cops. obviously the right can say oh that's a liberal judge out to get CBP but I don't think they've quite honed the dismissal reflex like they have for press outlets

BWC footage depicts agents walking up to and forcefully shoving a protester to the ground. Axon Body 4 Video 2025-10-04 1541 D01A83204 at 16:14-16:16. After the protester stood up, an agent pushed him again. Id. at 16:16-16:19. The protester then attempted to push the agents away from him, at which point multiple agents ran up, grabbed him, and forcefully tackled him to the ground. Id. at 16:19-16:37. Three agents managed to detain the protester, but 113 Case: 1:25-CV-12173 Document #: 281 Filed: 11/20/25 Page 114 of 233 PageD #:7328 then inexplicably let him go. Id. at 16:54-17:11. One agent appears to have kicked the protester while walking away. Id. at 17:10. The protester attempted to stand up after agents let him go, and agents then immediately and violently tackled him to the ground again. Id. at 17:10-17:17. They then pushed and knelt on the protester's head and neck as they handcuffed him: Id. at 17:27-17:40. When asked about the incident a few minutes later, the agent wearing the BWC falsely claims that he got "assaulted by [the] protester." Id. at 23:23-23:26. According to CBP reports, CPD assumed control of all scenes at approximately 3:03 p.m. Doc. 191-8 at 1.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.
Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present. There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).
