THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

Yeah, the same D politicians worrying about progressive candidates not reflecting their values are celebrating “birthright citizenship is the law of the land!” today, and that’s a bonkers takeaway. The takeaway is that we’re 1-2 appointments away from overturning the reconstruction amendments.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

When the bubble bursts, we need to hold those in the media and the markets who helped support and celebrate con artists, circular deals and unsustainable companies as a means of coddling billionaires. I've taken very detailed notes. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what-if-were-in-an-ai-bubble-part-3/
This is a dark era — one where outright con artists and scammers have made themselves billionaires by promising the world, exploiting a culture of executive ignorance disconnected from real production to sell a product based on flimflam because LLMs are capable of making a half-assed demo of some things, and a lot of CEOs are fucking morons.

In the end, the truth will win out. The only way to fix these problems is to call things out as they happen and then demand accountability for years after. Once this ends, I have names and links going back three years nailing the people that let this happen with their half-truths and fantastical projections based on what they’d like to happen. 

Put another way, I have taken very detailed notes.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
