This Christmas Eve, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

I will keep saying this.
If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund.
If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them.
LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar.
Fire them.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

in IDAHO, that isn't the case--midnight tonight is the ONLY deadline. If you miss it, you're SOL for all of 2026.

If a Democrat is running for a federal official and she or he doesn’t have a cogent analysis and an action plan with urgency on how to go about reforming and rebalancing this MAGA #SCOTUS then she or he is not running a serious campaign.
Yet another reason why I won’t support any Democrat who opposes eliminating the filibuster to reform the Supreme Court.
Trump’s henchmen are openly bragging to Republican donors how the MAGA #SCOTUS will help them win elections by ruling the Republican’s way on campaign finance contribution and redistricting cases.
Trumpers are counting on right wing judicial coup from Roberts.
