He says: 'These models give you two different ways to build with transcription.' But on screen it says: 'These models give you two different ways to To build the transcription' did ...they watch the video?

a computer showing the text 'These models give you two different ways to To build the transcription', when the speaker actually said 'These models give you two different ways to build with transcription.'

this is genuinely inspiring. my man wrote a Guardian article on how to multiply by 9 on your hands

From behind bars, he’s been able to work with a number of major news outlets to report on the impact of things like heat stroke and overdose among incarcerated people, as well as what happens when a prison goes on lockdown.

Nvm that was just on one side of the police line, there's a small group of maybe 30 protesters on the corner. It's p calm.

We have to stay in the 'designated staging area' in the dirt on the right side of the road. The street is empty

Dexter Thomas @dexdigi.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

i caught some of this on video!

Dexter Thomas @dexdigi.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

I'm on the other side of the street and from what I can see here, there are a *lot* of officers compared to the relative small amt of protesters being detained. A bunch have already left but still 12+ squad cars, plus horses, SUVs, etc etc etc

LAPD shot me in the leg with a less-lethal earlier. Luckily it caught my pants and didn't really impact too bad. I was standing in the road with a camera, filming

Dexter Thomas @dexdigi.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

this person was filming police and almost got hit in the head. didn't realize how close that canister was until just now watching back the footage. we were both standing in the middle of the street, nobody near us (haven't had a chance to speak with them, so i have no idea who they are.)

elon is radicalizing the gamers

a tweet from user @dougpolkvids, which has 1.2k reposts and 2k comments, that reads:
'I have historically been an Elon fan, and I think a lot of the anti Elon media has been unfair and/or misleading. He has created a lot of good for society.

But this story where he lied about being a "top 20 gamer" where he had someone leveling his account is hitting me hard.

As a gamer, you have a lot of pride in your rank/level. Trying to fake that while also being the richest guy in the world is just so absurdly unnecessary.

I would say it also makes me wonder, if he is willing to lie about this, what else is he willing to lie about.

It might seem trivial to many, but for the other people out there who have been competitive gamers, you know exactly what I'm talking about.'

(2/2) but that doesn't seem accurate, since I can access it by going to an existing post, hitting 'edit', and then scrolling down to 'Manage Featured Posts' and doing it that way. Unintuitive, but it works. Tested on Chrome and Opera, same behavior.

@beehiiv.com question/bug? The Featured Posts section has gotten difficult to change. I'm in the settings and everything is greyed out. The chatbot tells me that I can drag+drop titles, but I can't. The lightning icon seems to suggest I can only access this function by upgrading (1/2)
