Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.
Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

How do large language models interpret words relating to probability like “unlikely,” “probably,” or “almost certain"?
The below shows what happens when we compare judgements from different models to a benchmark dataset of human judgments (data from: github.com/zonination/p...).

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??
Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Proud to announce a brand-new design system for bus stops, starting in Kuala Lumpur!
With the help and support from Transport for Jakarta and CMC-SEA (and a fellow mak cik!), we had rolled out a pilot design of the bus stop poster in Pudu
Look forward to an improved bus stop near you!

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank
I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

The new season of The Peacemaker on HBO is so, so good!
The story, the action, the one-liners, the humor, the pathos. (Also it's anti-Nazi, which in this current American moment, is super approrpriate and necessary!)
Congrats to
@jamesgunn.bsky.social, John Cena, and the entire team.
