We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

saving "externalities that Republicans want but don't want to say they want" for later use
Mandatory syllabus publication is like voter ID laws in that its stated goal is an obvious pretext for causing a bunch of externalities that Republicans want but don't want to say they want.

No, this is wrong, stop reposting this absurd and miscalculated meme.
It assumes Cratchit is working a 40 hour work week (he isn't) and that straight line inflation extrapolations over centuries are valid (they're not) and fails to understand both Victorian class and household finance.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

Just such a gross dude. I hope anyone who's been looking at his trajectory as their end game deletes their account and reconsiders their life choices
critics did manage to shame Elon into deleting one particularly sexual clip of the Grok “companion” Ani, but he was soon back to posting about her as if she were his girlfriend

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

dude was sorta harassing a woman on the train, and everyone had that “we’re ready to intervene, but won’t if she’s got things under control” look. as we arrived at the station every dude in the car independently and nonchalantly got between the guy and her so he couldn’t follow her off the train

"I have a lifeboat, but there are not enough" is a sentiment we could use more of
It is, however, the case that most of my academic colleagues do not have those fallbacks.
Many, though excellent scholars, probably couldn't build them and there are also just not enough me-sized niches for those with the skills to carve one.
