this is fascinating bc the supposed hook is "I was raised in a tech-skeptical commune, yet AI helped me work through my problems" when it's actually "I was raised in a cult and responded to a form of AI emotional manipulation that treated me like a cult leader"

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Immigrants aren't making #housing more expensive.
HEDGE FUNDS and PRIVATE EQUITY buying up acres of affordable housing and raising rents are. Plus lack of new homes being built.
Stop servicing billionaires and blaming immigrants.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

It's amazing how many people everywhere seem to think something like "If an abled student got this it would be cheating!" and never make it an inch past it.
We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Hundreds of millions. Wow, that's a lot. That's more than have died in every single war combined in the entire world since 1900.

It's so hard to discuss how these people act without using dehumanizing language. They're just shitty people but every time this asshole opens his mouth the word "monster" pops into my head.

Let's be fucking clear. The follow-up attack on random civilians on a boat in the Caribbean was not the only war crime. The FIRST attack was a war crime. Regardless of what this regime says, these people are not combatants. They are not soldiers. Killing them in a war crime, full stop.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not
