Straight out out of Hungary playbook hopefully we speed run the end result

this is as bad as the "if it has an em-dash it was written by AI" rule. I use em-dashes! & I often begin emails with "I hope this email finds you well". here's the thing: the LLMs use such punctuation & wording BECAUSE ACTUAL HUMAN WRITERS USE THESE THINGS! AND THEY WERE TRAINED ON OUR WRITING! smfh

Once again a powerful straight white male decided to fatally wound the American project because he received criticism from someone he deemed beneath him (in this case, Roberts killing an environmental regulation because he thought a woman at the EPA was rude to him.)

To a lot of his base he is.

Living on Earth: Climate Coverage Dropoff News media outlets are retreating from covering climate change, according to the Media and Climate Change Observatory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which has been tracking this trend for deca...

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

The covid amnesia shell game happened DESPITE THE DATA, in part bc we never had a reckoning or real memorialization

The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.

How to do it America.

swirlies. Per Slash Film, Einbinder shared a pointed message directed at Al creators during a recent Hacks season-five press conference. "You are a loser," she said. "You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush." Einbinder, who concluded her acceptance speech at last year's Emmys by saying, "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine," didn't sugarcoat her stance when she described people who generate Al content. She noted that she doesn't consider them to be artists or creatives. "They've wanted their whole lives to be special. And they're not special," she said. "They're trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can't. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who's near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard."

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

“I want to support white supremacy but not in a way people can judge me.” US politics.

Looks like Trump's attempt to kill US offshore wind has failed.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Wildlife trade drives animal-to-human pathogen transmission over 40 years

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing:
"NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."

“Life is like a HURRICANE here in Duckburg. Race cars, lasers, aero planes! It’s a DUCK BLUR!”

Tourism Board Director: …. Steve, I’m genuinely curious, how did you imagine this pitch going over?

If US democracy was an apartment, you'd have to call in the best exterminators in town.

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

When reporters would ask me about "how will the public see the effects of DOGE?" my answer was pretty unsatisfying.
1. Performance declines in orgs that deliver direct and measurable services (e.g. IRS, VA, SSA)
2. Emergencies reveal lack of expertise when you need it.

The Iran war is a #2 case.

"people are starving but THE ECONOMY is doing great"

hey if "the economy" is completely decoupled from the welfare of the people, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THE ECONOMY

Your daily reminder that Stephen Miller went to Duke.

Even with all the news organizations and their taking-heads, this is still the best explanation for Trump's predicament I've seen so far.🗽

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

They’re holding people hostage in order to steal precious minerals

we do not have an exact record of ICE prison deaths and they are barring congressional representatives from visiting to inspect them consistently.

I'm tired of the media refusing to address head on Trump's obvious mental illness. They keep acting as if it's all just about policy choices. It's not. The man is clearly deeply disturbed, highly dangerous, and in need of professional psychiatric care. They need to speak out before it's too late.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Adapted from Axelsson et al. 2013 Fig 2c: Histogram showing the distribution of diploid amylase copy number in wolf (n=35, blue) and dog (n=136, red). Dogs carry more copies of the starch-digesting gene AMY2B than wolves. Additional copies make dogs better than wolves at digesting starchy foods like grains & vegetables.

Dogs evolved to eat your leftovers! Comparing dog & wolf genomes revealed dogs have up to 30 EXTRA copies of the amylase gene (AMY2B) that helps digest starch. This is a key genomic signature of living alongside humans & table scraps for thousands of years 🐕 www.nature.com/articles/nat... #2026MMM

Elon Musk's xAI wins permit to build power plant in Mississippi despite pollution concerns Mississippi regulators authorized xAI to build a power plant with 41 natural gas-burning turbines in Southaven to power its nearby data centers.

You'd be hard pressed to find a worse climate villain when it comes to data centres than Elon Musk.

By my own calculations, Musk's carbon bomb slop factories are undoing nearly half to all of the emissions cuts from Tesla products ketanjoshi.co/2026/03/02/m...

Very few consumers in the world, maybe 1 in 8, are shielded from the rise in gasoline&diesel prices (in that their government subsidizes fuel prices). A common mistake is thinking that being an oil exporter will shield consumers. Only switching to clean transport&energy does.
