relatedly, this summary from AP news is infuriating. any clear eyed person can tell the political leaders reaching conclusions that aren't supported by the video are fucking lying to justify extrajudicial murder. the news media is too afraid to get sued to say what's evident to the rest of us.

Videos show deadly Minneapolis shooting and political leaders reach different conclusions. 4 minute read.

i know we're justifiably dunking on the garbage LLM prompting post but i simply must give in to the impulse to dunk for another reason, which is that the author of the post wrote "this is a good post" while advertising it. the audacity.

i'm agog at the unnecessary toad slander out there on the trash internet. "despite their squat, bumpy bodies, toads are surprisingly skilled at digging." what are we talking about? their center of gravity is low to the ground and they have very large, powerful legs. that's great for digging.

Why Toads Dig into the Dirt and What It Means for Their Survival by Johanna Kennelly Ullman. read time 7–9 minutes. You might not guess it, but toads are surprisingly adept diggers. Despite their squat, bumpy bodies, toads are surprisingly skilled at digging. These humble amphibians use burrowing as a key part of their survival strategy.

see the following excerpt from Erin In The Morning's reporting last week on the topic

Tiffany Justice, when asked by CNN, stated that she was happy that Trump was lying about gender affirming care in schools, however:

“Are kids getting surgery in school? No they’re not.” But she continued that she was still “thankful to President Trump” for making the claim – since, she said, his remark has drawn attention to the important issue of schools facilitating children’s social transitions without parental consent.

Justice said of Trump’s claim: “It grabbed your attention, and we’re talking about it now, and that makes me very happy.”

for example, it wouldn't be inaccurate for the alt text of this photo to just say "picture of Donald Trump", but you wouldn't really get the discourse around it based on that description. why not have more fun with it?

i think we can safely assume the vetting packet on JD Vance looked something like this

just checked and saw there are settings you can change. I switched Twitter from "warn" to "hide", and I'm hoping that will hide the entire post 🤞

Labels options for XBlock screenshot labeler with three options for each type of content: off, warn, and hide. Twitter is set to warn by default. I've switched it to hide to see what that does.

it's so frustrating that our information ecosystem has sent us back to the state of affairs in, like, 1994. sure, the internet has given us fast access to stuff, but so much of it is unreliable that we need to go back to word of mouth from people we trust.

in my headcannon, Office Space is a prequel to Barry. clearly Milton uses the rest of the money after his vacation as start up capital for his hitman for hire operation.

ok the research sounds interesting but, more importantly, behold the title. I'm a sucker for a clever pun in the title of an academic paper.

he closes the essay by empowering readers to resist the technology takeover, to not cede our humanity to the machine. "It is possible to ask human questions and to find humane answers."

Finally, the fundamental question the computer scientist must ask himself is the one that every scientist, indeed every human, must ask. It is not “what shall I do?” but rather“what shall I be?” I cannot answer that for anyone save myself. But I will say again that if

technology is a nightmare that appears to have its own inevitable logic, it is our nightmare.It is possible, given courage and insight, for man to deny technology the prerogative to formulate man's questions. It is possible to ask human questions and to find humane answers.
