Promo clip. Beatriz Villarroel believes that Sagan's mantra that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is damaging science. However, scientists are rightly initially sceptical of paradigm shifting ideas that upend established science. Link: youtube.com/shorts/hcvk7... ⚛️🧪

The Supreme Court majority is obviously dedicated to vote suppression so I suspect that when all is said and done they are going to end vote by mail. And it's all because the greatest sore loser in world history couldn't admit that he lost. It's Caligula level absurdity.

Dem leaders welcome all these diet MAGA dems in the caucus with open arms, and even advocate for them over DSA candidates, then they're shocked when they vote for actual MAGA bills. For the 800th time, Dem leadership needs to resign and make room for actual fighters.

Believing LLMs in an undergraduate classroom are bad because they give students shortcuts in the place of base knowledge, making it harder to use, correct, or edit LLMs later on if that have to use them, is not the same as saying "don't ever fuck because God said not until marriage," come on.
