My dude, I just quoted from the article you gave to defend your claims. It’s not my fault it doesn’t say what you’d like it to say.

Which, I note, is almost exactly what @anildash.com said to you.

“Why do such a significant number of Americans lack access to water and sanitation?”

“Systemic racism is the first and biggest reason”

That article saying nothing about growth.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

I want to do a bigger BADBOOL update this month so if you have requests, now is the time! You can post here but ALSO file a pull request or send me an email with BADBOOL in the subject line or it may get lost in the ether.

I liked it.

A rendition of the earth set photo from the Artemis 2 crew drawn in colored pencils on white paper. Behind the Earth is black from a combination of colored pencils and sharpie markers, with ragged edges all the way around. The moons surface is loosely shaded in gray and browns with the indication of craters and a rough edge to toss upper silhouette.

Drew it. Experiments with colored pencil (& sharpie for some black). 🔭🐡

EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

We cannot allow him to wipe out a civilization. And I also worry that if he opts for devastating air strikes that don't involve nuclear weapons, it will somehow be reported as "cooler heads prevailing". No, that's unacceptable. It's all unacceptable and he has to be removed from having these powers.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

Oh no! I’m guessing backups failed in some way. I hope whatever it was can be replaced.

A large black cat—Tasha Yar—sits on top of a white and orange cat—James Kirk. Kirk is licking her. Kirk's back feet are sticking out from under Tasha.

When I went to bed last night about 03:00 EDT, the Orion capsule only had 3 working PCDs (the tablets) and Outlook still wasn't working properly. Did those ever get resolved?

(Yes, I stayed up very late watching the moon mission. Also, my cats were doing this.)

Okay. I'm not anonymous but I am a professor. I read your article. I won't call you names.

Your article blames the left for the actions of the Republican party in a pretty explicit "both sides" fashion. That's a pretty weak argument. The evidence you give is not compelling.

Screenshot of the game against the bot. The gimmick is all pieces are white. I have a king on b2, a pawn on h4, and a queen on g8. The bot has a king on e4 and a pawn on h5.

Me to my wife (showing off my 13 move premove win against the @chess.com Yoko Ono bot): I have the white pieces.

Image of a slide (-1)^s * 1.x * 2^e • 1 bit for sign s (1 = negative, 0 = positive) • 8 bits for exponent e • 0 bits for the implicit leading 1 (called the "hidden bit") • 23 bits for significand (without hidden bit)/fraction And then Wikipedia's image of single-precision floating point numbers showing the sign, exponent, and fraction fields in a 32-bit word.

Floating point is neat! Here's one of my slides for my class today.

And, instead, NYT comms is insisting that they know the position of the AMA better than the AMA itself!?!

How does this serve the readers of the New York Times, who deserve to understand WHAT THE ACTUAL POSITION OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION is?

I feel genuinely flabbergasted by the defiantly anti-journalistic approach of NYT Comms here.

They're saying the NYT's reporting on the stance of the American Medical Association is correct, despite the American Medical Association saying their stance is different from what NYT reported.

"On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." Hmm

I’m EFF’s next Executive Director! So proud to take the torch from Cindy Cohn and lead @eff.org forward in its next chapter. Here’s the link to the EFF announcement – www.eff.org/press/releas...
Together, we can meet the challenges and keep building a future where technology works for the people.

San'yaku (三役) 'Three ranks'. The titleholder ranks at the top of sumo. There are actually four ranks in san'yaku: yokozuna, ōzeki, sekiwake and komusubi, since the yokozuna is historically an ōzeki with a license to perform his own ring-entering ceremony. The word is occasionally used to refer only to sekiwake and komusubi.

San'yaku (三役) (three ranks) referring to either the top four ranks or to the bottom two of the top four ranks in sumo.

oh so TSA agents are being pieces of shit FOR FREE

I quietly read this aloud to my wife just now in the vet waiting room (routine check up/shots) in rural OH. (Jim Jordan’s former district for what that’s worth.) A woman in the waiting room responded, “Hell yeah!”

In the foreground, Tasha Yar, a black cat, eats from a metal bowl. In the background, James Kirk, a white and orange cat, eats from a second bowl.

The cats are eating crumbs from each other’s bowl. Neither cat was interested in eating their own crumbs.
