THREAD. @donmoyn.bsky.social’s detailed, multi-thread dismantling of the distorted and deliberately obtuse reporting in the @nytimes.com on the significance of Gov. DeSantis’ takeover of New College is essential reading.
And pls don’t waste time commenting that you don’t read the Times.Millions do.

I think it’ll be interesting to see when Musk weaponizes the X algorithm in favor of Republicans. It’s gotten a little loose this year with some left voices sneaking into a discourse. I bet his algo will be flipped firmly to Fascism Mode by the summer.

This time, there are ZERO excuses for falling into his trap.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

a suicide note whose existence and content federal authorities appear to have concealed for years while conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death in their custody raged out of control
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."
