The LLM era broke Word's grammar and spelling checker. I'm not sure why, but it misses so so much! I used to find it helpful for teaching students to write research papers: asking them to send their papers through these tools makes their papers better before I see them.
What does slop code mean? I use Harper, and it's annoyingly arbitrary at times, but overall helpful.
If you get a smaller lens area, the edges will be smaller. That's been my strategy with -9. It's harder but still possible with progressives.

I think the 5th is best, but I can't tell the exact shape and maybe a different shape of that design
"Infinite patience" is not a quality ingredient for a good education, nor is it something we should continue to extend to the education "revolutions" of Sal Khan. biblioracle.substack.com/publish/post...
An Australian news show matched up the videos. I'm embarrassed for our country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACHX...
Perfect quote from and HHS employee: “There exists a clear throughline of transgressive delight in violating the separation of church and state, of a similar corruptive mindset as the joy they take in forcing our agency to reduce services to the public whose mission it is for us to serve.”
The account is also subscribed to block lists that blocked me.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
way longer than 20 years, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Rt...
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
My word processor also has a macro to insert the required disclaimer: "This advice column may not be used for Zionist propaganda."
On top of starting a war with no plan likely to succeed.
Not feeding deployed troops adequate amounts and quality of food seems like a good case for impeachment of both the Secretary of Defense and the Commander In Chief. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Lauren Underwood does great and solid work. I'm so happy to read that she's using her constitutional tools to fight unacceptable behavior, as all members of Congress should be doing now!
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib This is the same Hasan Piker who incited violence against me & is now campaigning along several Democratic candidates for political office. The Democratic party is finished if it allows for pro-Jihadi, pro-terror, pro-Hamas, champaign communists to be part of its senior ranks! 🤦♂️ Quote Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts · Apr 13 Jon Favreau: "When you say Hamas is a thousand times better, do you mean that?" Hasan Piker: "I do mean it … I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.”
Beneath this is an important principle: Conversation is not a reward to be bestowed on those with whom we agree; it’s a necessary habit in a democracy. The point is not to find agreement so much as to deepen understanding. To talk with others is to believe in the possibility of change — theirs and your own. Whether you like everything that someone has said should be severed from the question of whether that person is worth talking to. The space for such conversations was once wider. In 1968, William F. Buckley Jr., the archconservative founder of National Review, hosted Eldridge Cleaver, the minister of information for the Black Panthers, on “Firing Line.” Neither man was there to endorse the other’s politics. “I should like to begin by asking Mr. Cleaver whether he finds it consistent with his ideology to encourage the assassination of Mr. Richard Nixon,” Buckley said. Cleaver’s answer: “I would say that if Richard Nixon was assassinated, it would only result in having another pig in line who possibly would need to be assassinated.” Buckley later hosted Cleaver at his home. It was a different time, but it created a lasting artifact. The interview has hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and remains riveting to watch.
I read your piece and had never heard any of the accusations you quote. Your piece made similar claims as Ezra Klein, but Klein wrote in defense of the greater principle of conversation despite controversy, citing Bill Buckley as an example.
Wow! Each ministry in the French government has to have a time-table for when it will begin using Linux in place of Microsoft Windows. I never thought I would see the day.
Vocabulary of the day: souveraineté numérique means "digital sovereignty."
💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him.
Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system.
A 16-year chapter is over.
Good thing the US has such high quality high school science education, so everyone knows how moonshine can end up producing methanol which can cause blindness and death. High concentrations of heavy metals and pesticides also possible risks.
Vance would be better. He was against this war given the lack of strategy. Also, no one likes him, so probably he would be able to do very little.
Oh the pain: "Keep adding subjects until p<0.05."
Thread.
I wonder what MAGA would say if the Obama Iran deal let them charge tolls to the tune of $90 billion a year on a waterway they don’t own?
I mean we all know but still…. Worth asking.
Fox went crazy when he wore a tan suit
Acting CDC Dir is delaying publication of COVID vax effectiveness (VE) study that found high protection. He has concerns about the test-negative design (TND) but does not understand this method. It has been widely used for 15+ years & is the gold-standard for flu/COVID VE studies.

It is difficult to imagine a more expansive and decisive geopolitical victory for Vladimir Putin’s vile dictatorship than what lies at the end of this path.
We are at the point of "a senior U.S. official threatening the Vicar of Christ on Earth with the prospect of an American Babylonian Captivity."
Trump said that Iran’s 10 pt proposal was “workable.” I finally had time to sit down and go through it and my jaw dropped as every point was so much worse than before the war. Military lives lost, billions of dollars spent, American families struggling…and for what? Let me explain. THREAD
The people in charge of US national security are sadly only concerned with personal profit and personal convenience. They have no notion of what a nation is or why they would care about its safety. Incidentally, a good time to follow @phillipspobrien.bsky.social.
