It hurts that this guy nails millennial satire so perfectly that he creates absolute bangers while doing so.

Schmitt’s attempted maneuver this morning deserves ridicule, but there’s a more serious aspect to it. He was trying to frame Jack Smith. This was no innocent mistake, but part of a calculated effort to bear false witness against a person in order to harm the credibility of his work and character.

Really odd that we accept that judges can just tell elected officials they're not allowed to levy taxes.

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

I agree with Noah here. Trump is not acting like a proto-autocrat that has the advantage going into an election. One thing that really does matter for autocrats is the *perception* or ability to signal strength and popularity. Trump has lost that.

I wish there was a more serious movement within the academy to reform our institutions to create mechanisms of actual accountability so students, faculty, and staff can rid ourselves of leadership that regularly fails everyone but their donors.

Yes, if you want to make sense of the GOP you have to consider that Trump will be leaving power in 2 years and there will be a fight for control over party.

Mid-day 30yr mortgage rates just hit 7.50% The last time borrowing money to buy a home was this expensive was back in April 2024 but the trend looks like it could take us back to late 2023 when rates hit 8%

This is fun and in now way bad for an economy that has been built heavily on cheap debt rather than innovation and increased labor productivity.

Some writers go ballistic at the mere mention of AI because they take the training of AI models on their work to be a form of intellectual property theft. Like settler colonists, the AI boys want to treat it as a fiat accompli; "here's a pittance—let's move forward." But what if IP theft is ongoing?

"Partisan websites disguised as independent, local news outlets are shaping chatbots’ responses about key races." Via: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

But the increasing ubiquity of AI is also quietly shaping the perceptions of voters who are simply trying to educate themselves about the candidates — and are unknowingly being served partisan talking points in the guise of neutral news summaries.

Leading AI chatbots cite partisan websites masquerading as independent local news outlets nearly half of the time when people ask about candidates and issues that the partisan sites have covered in the midterm campaign, according to a new audit by NewsGuard, an organization focused on news reliability where we work as analysts.
