I feel great affinity for James Garfield’s style of politics but, as a committed hater, I cannot quite get on board with this magnanimity 🗃️

This is a small, joyless person that will never amount to anything meaningful in life and will just be another footnote in the long list of interchangeable and unremarkable nobodies that think being ignorant and cruel will give them enough attention and money the full the hole in their hearts.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

This rules. Feed social media engagement garbage in and LLMs perform worse on benchmarks.
LLMs Can Get Brain Rot
New finding: LLMs Can Get Brain Rot if being fed trivial, engaging Twitter/X content.

If anyone wants a fun, 2-book series; METROPOLITAN and CITY ON FIRE by Walter Jon Williams have some of the most interesting aetherpunk worldbuilding I’ve seen in a while.

Really wish I wasn’t sick *again* with gastro issues. It’s been the fourth time this year. Also, all of them have been when I’ve been on zepbound

Rewatching Heated Rivalry and the lighting in this show is so bad. Looks totally washed out and artificial.

Sadly as an alum this is exactly the type of bullshit I’ve come to expect from my Alma mater
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

There is a real possibility that an immediate move to impeach and convict in the hours after Jan. 6 would have succeeded and Trump would have been disqualified. Republican opposition to conviction noticeably stiffened once the Fox News machine kicked in days later. But Pelosi dithered for a week
I would add that not moving to impeach (for the insurrection) before leaving for the day on Jan 6 (technically the morning of Jan 7) was a huge blunder.
