the current administration has a lot in common with the movie "Idiocracy," in that both are very anxious that the wrong people are being allowed to reproduce

Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion.
It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

If you simply disenthrall yourself from your financially crippling addiction to fairly basic food and beverages you too can one day own a house.
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

Democrats must frame any effort to hold the Republicans currently in power accountable as a necessary foundation for reform. Without consequences for lying, a functioning government cannot be restored, and meaningful progress becomes impossible.

It's cool but undeniably sort of odd to see that 'small-scale indie horror games' seem to be the new source for movie adaptation material now that comic books are running dry.

This study confirms something I suspected - LLMs trained on medical case studies are good at diagnosing from case studies. But when they have to interview a patient who doesn't know which information is relevant or how to describe it in medical jargon, their accuracy plummets.
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.
