I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

Mark Cuban: Hey @grok, which is more likely to create a human extinction event or series of events in the next 25 years, Al or Climate Change ?
Assign a probability to each
If the answer to either is yes, do your best to put a timeline for when you think it happens
If the answer is no. Explain why

Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

Our time here together is so precious and I’m so sick and tired of having it wasted by people who only insist on doing so in the hopes that they might one day indulge in the empty, joyless, unfulfilling thrill of watching another life bleed out—mine, yours, anyone’s, it scarcely matters whose.

also - as I have said before and will say again - the problem with AI isn't that there's zero positive, helpful uses to which it can be put; it's that none of them, whether singly or collectively, comes remotely close to justifying the dystopian shitshow that goes into making and selling the tech

Absolutely fucking gutting
Speaking on why she remained closeted until age 36 and whether she has had relationships with women, Panettiere stated, "Yeah, I did. It was scary, though, because there were paparazzi always waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy. I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men. I have explored it, but because I hadn't shared this with anybody, I didn't really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it. Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn't something that I wanted to ever have to hide."[83]

A lot of problems with the perverse incentive structure that now exists for humiliated people to regain the mainstream press’ respect, which is either to become a rightwing grifter who quadruples down until they are president or get harangued until you have a psychotic break or kill yourself.

First panel: Sam Altman sucks and I want to see him suffer

Second panel: Sam Altman sucks, but his sexuality shouldn't be used as a weapon of coercion because that also sucks

Third panel: Sam Altman created a tool that sucks and is also being used to deny rights to people just like Sam Altman because ultimately power seeks to defend itself and no one else and Sam Altman has power now on a level unheard of in modern life

Fourth panel: Late stage capitalism sucks and hurts everyone

to add: The west is going to burn, fire has been here longer than the USA has, many Indigenous land management practices work alongside fire. Rather than focusing on who started a fire, we need to work out how to live with fire and how the city became a tinderbox and how to help people right now.

The oddest thing about the response to this essay is people who say it’s “personal”. You can disagree about some or all of it! I may well be wrong! But it’s not “personal” to analyze a film or other work of art, even negatively. Criticism is more than “Hurray!” or “Hiss!”
