I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Reading Internet parenting advice like (1) It is a violation of children's rights & dignity to physically prevent them from running into a busy street (2) Why are you poisoning your children by feeding them produce that you didn't personally grow organically from ethically sourced seeds

“When you fire people who have deep understanding of the mission you want to accomplish, you’re sort of starting from zero” No, far less than zero, because they also threw away the reputation we had built over many years of delivering solid work on complicated systems without harming the people

The news in the world is awful, but it's almost Halloween, so let's talk about pumpkin enrichment for big cats. This is Jinx the black leopard (Big Cat Rescue, Florida) enjoying shredding a pumpkin.

If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.

The IRS is expanding its free tax filing service. Do you qualify?
The IRS launched Direct File, which allows users to submit simple tax returns directly to the government, as a pilot this past spring for a limited number of taxpayers.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.
Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

Per capita emissions in the U.S. and Canada are falling relatively quickly — but they still far outpace that of the rest of the world 🧪
A chart of per capital CO2 emissions shows that though per capita emissions in the U.S. and Canada have fallen since peaks in the late 20th century, the two nations remain fair ahead of the per capita emissions from the rest of the world.

One of the great things about drivers is, if a pedestrian or cyclist offends them in any way, they’ll drive more dangerously & threaten other pedestrians and cyclists. But if a _car_ impedes them in any way, they’ll drive more dangerously & threaten pedestrians and cyclists.

Fascinating: humans unexpectedly regained their advantage in Go because they created situations AIs never had seen in their training data franklantz.substack.com/p/the-after…
But Utopia is not a place, it’s a process. And it turns out the story doesn’t end there. A couple of months ago, a group of researchers announced that they had discovered a technique that allows an amateur-level human player to consistently beat state of the art superhuman Go AI. What’s amazing about this adversarial policy, as they call it, is that it’s simple to explain and understand. Basically, it involves allowing the AI to surround a group of your stones and then surrounding the group that is doing the surrounding. Because the AI considers your innermost group dead it doesn’t see the threat coming until it’s too late.

The technique works because this is a type of situation that doesn’t often occur “naturally”, and therefore the AI has a kind of blind spot, and misses what would be glaringly obvious to even a novice player. And this blind spot includes the basic principles of life and death the game is built on, concepts that are completely fundamental to how we think about the g

Um… did y’all know the mantle layer of the earth isn’t a pretty smooth circle like we’ve been told?! Apparently everything was a lie in the 90s because there are two massive mantle blobs here on earth with us and we don’t know what they are or where they come from just that they exist.
Continent sized mantle blobs, one under Africa and another under the Pacific.
