Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

"If one of the most anti-abortion states in America can muster only a sliver of support for total bans, what does that tell you about how popular abortion rights really are? Just as important: if deep red states don’t want abortion banned, who does?"

Bill Kristol's still out there doing a better job leading than Jeffries and Schumer.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

I can’t quite get over the NW leadership announcing their capitulation on Friday evening after the day after Thanksgiving. They believe that other than some strongly worded letters and op-eds in the local papers, their own community will quickly move on.
Northwestern University offered bland reassurance to trans students and faculty after signing a deal with the Trump administration that sacrificed them for restored funding.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

AI acts like a slot machine bc it doesn't use formal descriptive systems to specify outputs.
If you have an idea for a program and you write the code, it does what you wanted, or it doesn't, and then you fix it, or you don't. It is deterministic; if you wrote it correctly, it works, repeatedly

I am married to a Brazilian and can confirm that they have an almost supernatural ability to carry a grudge in silence for decades knowing that one day they will triumphantly dance on the emotional grave of their enemy and/or husband. It’s super hot.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
