Stories like this absolutely break me. It is a cruel cruel system.

In 2018, Annalinda Martinez and her daughters became homeless. She went to Georgia's child welfare agency looking for help finding housing. Instead, the state took her children. Then DFCS began charging her for their foster care. Those bills eventually left her $13,000 in debt.

Georgia removed her kids because she was homeless. The state is charging her $13,000 for foster care
Georgia is among several states that have moved away from charging parents for their kids' time in foster care. But parents who already owe money for past cases are still on the hook.

You will be able to set your watch by the frequency with which Musk sets his minions on people during this case, using their usual tactics of death threats and doxxing. And media will cover none of it.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

I will say that I heard the EIC of The Cornel Daily Sun, Sophia Dasser on NPR and she was very impressive. They are asking the right questions. I hate that we’ve failed young women and girls so terribly.

Every conversation about the Cornell case is irritating me because there is no way there was just one victim. Just one report. I need people to stop talking like no one had any idea they were rapists. Go crack open those middle school and high school records.

Not only should the Cornell rapists experience life altering consequences but so should every frat brother who said nothing. Cornell should be forced to pay an astronomically crippling amount to the girl.

if Eliezer Yudkowsky was born into a somewhat poorer family and missed a couple lucky breaks, he’d have ended up as an archetypal specimen of your friend’s older cousin who keeps boa constrictors and makes you listen to him talk about quantum physics in his parent’s basement in exchange for weed

I just read the dumbest review of a book that stated the work couldn’t be good literature because the characters were good and ethical people. As if the only real people in the world are ethically compromised. People can be complicated and ethical.

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com
Thrilled to announce our latest incubation: Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Horowitz Andreessen Academy will be a two-year residential program in San Francisco for 16 to 22 year olds.

My biggest regret from my college experience is how divorced it was from the real world (both practically but also intellectually)

HAA is the opposite. Students will learn from real-world practitioners and intellectuals; including founders (Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, Jensen Huang), investors (Elad Gil, Daniel Gross), and professors (Agnes Callard, Tyler Cowen), among hundreds of others. The Academy is the educational experience I wish I had.

In 1984, the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published a paper about how the average student who received one-on-one tutoring focused on mastery techniques performed better than 98% of the control group. For generations, this was viewed as unrealistic to implement even if it produced the best outcomes.

I think this is true across the board (see also: Depp, Pitt) that for male celebrities they are frozen in amber how we first encounter them, usually as young heartthrobs or hitmakers, while for female celebrities, it's about how they age and evolve and what was their last hit or latest success.

I think the people who keep pointing out that Obama opposed gay marriage aren't really making a direct correlation with what is happening with trans rights today. The debate is over TAKING AWAY existing rights. So it would be more like Obama supporting recriminalizing gay sex.
