The lesson for us here in the US is that we need to run a candidate named John America.

I mean a lot of us just… live here. This is where our families are, our communities, where we’re raising our kids. Moving to another country can be expensive and stressful and isolating in the best of times. We all have lives and contexts alongside our work in climate or environment.

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

Survey on attitudes towards AI. 100-level college class, n=44, January 2026

I wouldn’t say I’m a luddite, but, even working in IT, I struggle to find a use-case in which AI performs adequately.

And, remember kids, it’s a *terrible* search engine

I know I don't understand the world we live in anymore when the hardline right-wing Iranian government (or whoever is putting these out) can follow up a near-Armageddon staredown by deciding "OK Trump is Drake and we are now Kendrick Lamar"

"once the top line drops into the fossil range, you pay more upfront to also pay more later for LNG, etc. Nobody will do that"

Exactly.

What if we just went back to reading a bunch of books and thinking about them together, and that was the class? With syllabi no longer than three pages.

The New York Times drops freelance journalist who used AI to write book review Writer and author Alex Preston said he “made a serious mistake” after a reader spotted similarities between his review and one that appeared in the Guardian

This is all reminding me of a conversation I had recently with an old friend who works in tech and extremely gung-ho about AI. When I told him about my process for writing a long New Yorker piece, he was absolutely sure that AI could make it more "efficient." / www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

"You're absolutely right, the pod bay doors don't seem to have opened—good catch!"

Dude it's March.

I prefer to think of this like the Seahawks in Week 1 -- nobody has tape on anybody, coaches are figuring out who is good this year. Riq may be a problem, special teams are cooking, better capitalize on turnovers.

I love those ice creams! But on OP’s topic of unexpected dessert ingredients, most white ppl aren’t ready for halo halo or ais kacing!
