One of my students was showing me how they were using AI to help study one of our lessons today, and on the surface it was cool, but the problem is it wasn't giving completely accurate information. For one thing, a thing I use as a "here's an easy way to remember this," it was completely wrong.

I'm seeing about Trump voters who regret their vote and why, but honestly, the demographic I want to know about is the ones who weren't Trump supporters but who said prior to the election that America deserved Trump and so they were going to help him get elected. Do THEY regret it?

Weather.com is so broken. My forecast says we have a 24% chance of rain today. While it's pouring and the forecast calls for thunderstorms. It's been raining since like 6 this morning.

This is super silly and I know that, but I've been volunteering around election time for years for our local dems in my red state and they always lose, and this year they might win, and a part of me is like "omg don't volunteer because you'll jinx them!"

I think we’ve all seen their playbook and it is this: wreck everything so they can spend their time out of power loudly complaining about how bad it is because of democrats. And then get put back in power to do worse than before.

Every time I see a poll I'm torn between "I'm glad this looks so good for democrats" and "WTAF is wrong with 47% of Americans!?"

It is true that a Dem Congress will not be able to do any effective legislating under the Trump regime. But that’s a given. What Congress can do is investigations that drive stories into the media. Every day should have headlines about Trump stealing from us, about Trump harming us.

The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

For reasons I will never understand, my kids absolutely do not seem to understand the concept of, "We're running late now and you need to hurry." "Go fast" means "drag your feet." "Run" means walk. This drives me absolutely batty.

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

I heard the most outrageous statement from Trump earlier on NPR that asserted he was a) sending $500 checks to all Americans in certain states to make up for the increase in ACA costs and b) the reason ACA costs went up is Biden because democrats are "all in the pocket of big insurance" and OMFG.

Gonna say now that if there are a bunch of mysterious races on election day that suddenly swing 15+ points to the republicans and they win way more than expected and the media asks why the polls were so wrong instead of why the results were so different I'll lose my mind.

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

Hearing Elon Musk is getting involved in the Texas senate race in a state that has already had a ton of hinky shit around voting sure as hell makes me wish ANYONE had really investigated all those illegal things he overtly did and why Trump said Musk being good with computers won him the election.

I complained earlier about shady/shitty republican ads in my area, but I need to add something I saw yesterday from a PAC. I didn't support the candidate this PAC was behind in the primary because I couldn't find any info on it and I didn't trust it, but it was a very lefty candidate.

At at the stage of being so under appreciated and under paid at work that every time I have to spend half the day doing anything that isn't directly related to my job I just want to cry because I don't get paid enough for it and it feels like they* don't care that I do it anyway.

Honest question here. It seems that a bunch of countries used their oil reserves to artificially decrease prices under the assumption that the oil crisis was short term. Now that it's not, what happens? Like, can Europe get through winter? East Coast USA?

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Reminder that this man literally ran a misinformation campaign in Samoa that tanked MMR uptake to nearly 0%, then a measles outbreak killed 81 children. His response? Sending a letter to the prime minister suggesting that the vaccine actually caused the deaths. The one they didn't get.
