This chart was poor understanding at best and journalistic malpractice at worst.

Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

We're getting closer and closer to the crazification factor! kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2005/10/lunc...

John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is --

Tyrone: 27%.

John: ... you said that immmediately, and with some authority.

Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

John: Objectively crazy or crazy vis-a-vis my own inertial reference frame for rational behaviour? I mean, are you creating the Theory of Special Crazification or General Crazification?

Tyrone: Hadn't thought about it. Let's split the difference. Half just have worldviews which lead them to disagree with what you consider rationality even though they arrive at their positions through rational means, and the other half are the core of the Crazification -- either genuinely crazy; or so woefully misinformed about how the world works, the bases for their decision making is so flawed they may as well be crazy.

MAGA would absolutely round up all trans people in a heartbeat like they are trying to do to immigrants. They can't, because they don't know who we are... unless we're forced to identify ourselves. So that's why they are fucking with passports and healthcare records, so we get a big T stamped on us.

Trans people, anguished by Kansas driver’s license law, go to court

Good article that explains the consequences of having the wrong gender marker on your ID. It's not just psychological: it affects every aspect of your life, including your physical safety. They may not be able to vote. It's very clear that they just want trans people removed from public life.

Plaintiffs are expected to testify this week about the negative effects of carrying identification that doesn’t match how they look and feel.

I think we will get much better at figuring out how to manage climate change. Despite the current US admin, I think the political will is increasing.

i hate-read the rest of this paper but what a weird, basic factual error on the very first line of it (it was November 11) It is 14 December 2022, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU) have just moved into and liberated the city of Kherson from Russian troops.

can we tell him that russians are still communists and solve two problems at once?

Need an American version of this.

this is 1000x true in foreign languages you don't know well enough to know the correct search terms. "Search Ukrainian media for [long explanation of concept]." It's sooo much better.

this is the Ukrainian equivalent of the Amazon lockers

a guy, possibly a delivery driver, standing in front of a pristine Nova Poshta delivery box, which has various compartments for packages. Everything around it has been destroyed by drones or missiles. Another person walks by.

"why don't they just follow the rules and come here legally" is the constant refrain of "moderate" xenophobes well, they're getting fucked too the article didn't mention WI but if it affects my state then it will affect people I personally know. They have already lost their food benefits.

I really want some data on what kind of crazy shit people ask America.gov.

ChatGPT app hits 1 billion monthly active users in record time, data shows

I truly don't get the argument "AI is useless to me therefore you're lying when you say it's useful to you." You can criticize AI on many grounds but it is clearly useful to millions of people! Chat GPT has a billion monthly active users.

reuters.com

OpenAI's ChatGPT has crossed 1 billion global monthly active app users, becoming the fastest app ever to reach the milestone, ‌according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

Tutor Refugees and Immigrants for Citizenship | Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee

My volunteer org is looking for people to tutor refugees who are applying for citizenship. They provide training and materials. It's an hour or two of your week, flexible. You don't need to be Catholic or religious at all. This is something tangible you can do if you are upset at our current admin.

At the volunteer appreciation dinner last night I was at a table with 4 older women and as we discussed our experiences working with refugees I realized they were looking to me as some kind of expert, I guess because I'm male? This did not happen before transition. I don't know any more than you do!

It’s wild that people can’t see the utility in having a piece of software than can automate some of the mountain of administrative tasks we all face in modern life. Just very surface level stuff, not even getting into complicated use cases. Are we gonna claw back automatic bill pay too?
