Status reports that ABC News deleted that explosive story about the Trump kids getting billions in federal contracts for their companies. ABC hasn't explained why they nuked the story, even as Trump has crowed about its deletion, sparking a firestorm behind scenes. www.status.news/p/david-elli...

It should not be possible to elect a President who doesn’t even know what health insurance is. But holy shit it really really really should not be possible to have a guy be President for multiple terms and still not have learned what health insurance is

Pollox? Never heard of that handsome superhero. I'm Pollux, a reporter for the Stick Tribune. Now, did you see a phone booth anywhere nearby?
Pollox lying with his chin resting on the edge of a teal dog bed, wearing a pair of rimless glasses perched on his nose. His black and white face peers out from under a mop of fur, paws stretched forward, mouth slightly open. He looks ready to review the quarterly stick import figures.

You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

Teaching AI is not my job. Teaching history is, and more to the point, teaching critical thinking. All these calls to "teach ai" in the classroom treat learning how to use ai as the point of the class, which is the exact opposite of critical thinking. It's teaching students *not* the think.
