Less than 1% of major party nominees for Congress are working class. It is one of the most fundamental ways that Congress is not representative. And their views, e.g. on unregulated gambling websites, are apt to be different. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Why Working-Class Candidates Are Almost Never on the Ballot

Less than 1% of major-party candidates competing for a seat in the US Congress have a background in manual trades or service industries.

Sorry, all. But I'm voting pro-Trump ticket given this. I'm sure Trump's promise is permanent and won't be taken away the minute the election is over. I know I won't be disappointed. #Satire apnews.com/article/trum...

I don't about for submission-rejection but "rejected because AI detected" is a lawsuit waiting to happen and the devastating blow of the complainant is going to be running defense motions and briefs through all the detectors and having mosting of them trip. Then the institution's pub'd statements.

I hate that people are out there falsely accusing people of using AI without the slightest bit of self-awareness of their own ethical breaches in doing so. For example, breaching the confidentiality of peer-review process. I also hate that it makes me sound like I'm defending AI to point this out.

Suppose I am a peer-reviewer. Because I wanted to be a police officer, I decide to submit their work to Pangram. No, I didn't read the licensing agreement, are you kidding? Now, the authors have their paper uploaded to AI software without their consent. What's my liability? #Satire

States want to make Big Oil pay for climate harm. Now, courts are weighing in.

New York’s climate “superfund” law has suffered two losses in court, while a U.S. Supreme Court case next week could determine the fate of similar efforts nationwide.

Sometimes, the Chia pet hybrid (made with chia and mint) would lose the mint first, which left the pet looking grotesque. In the language of the business, the Chia pet was said to look deminted.

Chia pets have been around for a long time. But I bet you didn't know that there are contests about best Chia pet. There is even a category for best combination of Chi and other herbs. Of course, over time you might even win the lifetime a chia-mint award.

Lethal injection is not a medical procedure. Lethal injection is not “humane”. Lethal injection is a bad attempt at sanitizing and making acceptable the murder of an individual in the eyes of the public. That the states are allowed to use and keep secret the mystery slurries should be illegal.
