That’s the point behind every public execution - Roman crucifixions, Tudor beheadings, the guillotine of the French Revolution and the lynchings of the American South. It’s not about justice. It’s about fear.

Likewise, some elite private schools and universities are already testing 'AI-free' models of education for the wealthy (including children of AI developers!) while cash-strapped public schools go all-in for AI to deliver 'efficiencies' (reduce headcount). Same dynamics in media, health, etc. 13/n

I’ve got my kids’ stroller prepared for a walk and I’ll be honest, I figured I would already be turning this game off before the first quarter ended. Let’s see how the 2nd qtr goes…

Note: That is not, in fact, what socialism is. However, this may be one of the more revealing political moments of the past decade: a leading politician openly acknowledging efforts to redefine a political term based on contemporary political rhetoric, as opposed to its original/historic meaning.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

Man, I love OU, but this football team looks like it *might* belong in the AAC or newly constituted PAC-12. Granted, Georgia will make a lot of teams look bad, but when you essentially take 3 delays of game in the first quarter you have to question the overall prep and long term direction.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

“The use of Isaiah 6:8 is essentially trying to say God has commanded these leaders to send people to fight & die for this particular cause,” he explained. “...this serves to baptize their military plans in the will of the Christian God. And if the Christian God is commanding it, who can oppose it?”

Hi @radarscope.app 👋 I’m curious about the ProbSevere layer for Tier 2. I have it turned on & have all the categories turned on but not seeing anything in the display. Granted there’s not much out there but I’m looking at a detection N of Roswell, NM that is 5% SVR. What is the threshold for “Low”?

Warnings, being a type of forecast, by default have a motion vector meaning they predict where storms are heading not simply assessing where they are. Im pointing out the utter b.s. of the screenshot and supporting your statement. 😃
