The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

This is great. Thanks! & I empathize: the firm that does my book covers (going back to '21) used AI (w/out telling me) on my most recent one—which caused backlash from booksellers. Sigh. I'm anti-AI and they're redoing it for free, but it's a hassle... darlingsthatkill-harbinger.author-pages.com

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.

Over time, I've come to subscribe to the "two puppets, one puppet master" framing of the parties. The Dem Party establishment is the most successful wing of the GOP. Like an alcoholic's enabler... In many ways, Obama was the most successful Republican President. His policies were, at heart, all GOP

Worked in a University office building w/ an odd, cooler-like door—smack dab in the middle of the hallway—with a simple sign: CAUTION LIVE BEES. No one who worked there, no matter for how long, had ever set foot in that room. Literally anything could've been in there—a squatter. Aliens. Anything.

Norm's bit is funny; but now, in the 21st century, unfortunately, Russia / the US / Israel have stepped into this role as geopolitical aggressors... Maybe hope can be found in regional alliances; but unless nations achieve technological sovereignty (free from US tech co.s), it'll be fraught...

I'm always struck by how—in modern #Academia —it's not enough to be correct. You also have to try and do a 'critical theory'-based hatchet job against the leader/s of your field in order to make your bones. So counter-productive and silly.

So, since (as a general rule) no learning happens from within a student's comfort zone this means that we're now firing teachers for teaching. Full stop. Entering into 1:1/no-metaphor-needed Farenheit 451, Brave New Wold, 1984 examples... #Dysopia

There is absolutely *NO* aspect of my life that has been "transformed" by LLM #AI 🙄 There are things that have been made less functional (which is bad) and things that have been make more frictionless (which is also bad, cognitively). And it all has horrible externalities for society—in all cases.
