Like many scientists, I’ve been mulling over the impact of LLMs on our fields. I’ve not yet seen it articulated, but I think there is a largely unspoken “invisible labor underclass” framework at play.

Beautiful morning of birding with the best Flock ever! 🐦 Our first field trip to Illinois for BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin, and what a crew showed up! Thank you, Natural Land Institute, for having us. Birding is for everyone! #WiscoBirder #BirdJoy 🫶🏾🪶

Behind him, a large, diverse group of about 30 birders with binoculars and cameras smile, cheer, and wave their arms in the air, surrounded by sunlit grass and trees just starting to turn yellow for fall.

This reflects the larger problem of Trump’s Costume Party Cabinet, unqualified oddballs and suck-ups who get to wear the costume of high office but can’t do the jobs, instead dress up and chant “WE ARE DOING GREAT!” Heckuva job, one might say.

Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.

It's not bigotry, it's just an intuitive preference for racial homogeneity. 🙄 Congratulations to @yale.edu for citing Rufo twice in the report justifying their decision to make the institution a trashy MAGA factory where stuff like this is the only legitimate form of scholarship or discussion.

“Successful assimilation is precisely that you wouldn’t notice it, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about,” he said. “The mere fact of us being able to notice that, no, this is not an assimilated group, this is just a bunch of Indians at the game, is itself sort of definitionally the case that they’re not yet assimilated.”

Keeperman then explained that many white Americans, like French, simply have “this fundamental intuition” and a “preference” for “homogeneity” and “they wanna fight to preserve that” as the U.S. inches towards becoming a “majority-minority country.”

“And Indians are like this conspicuous case,” he said, “where they see a difference and they go, ‘I just don’t like that.’ And it’s not because they don’t like Indians or anything like that. Now it may be expressed in, like, vulgar, lurid bigotry of whatever kind, but it also is just a case that they prefer homogeneity.”

I really don’t understand why so many people remain religious into adulthood. Religions that promise eternal life in “the hereafter” are cowardly refusing to engage with the most fundamental and salient Truth of life: just as we are all born, we will all die. And death is the end.

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.
