I remember someone super cool proposing a Terf House reality show where they were told there was a secret trans but the twist was no there wasn't. It was hilarious! And even funnier that they're just doing it themselves!

Staging these sites under the EOP & circumventing fedramp means we can’t see who’s doing what, who’s writing the code, etc - things required for govt sites. This is scary stuff. They could fabricate voter registration fraud and use it to throw out votes, for example, and we couldn’t check it. END/

Im filling out DBS paperwork in England.. why do instructions still include BRP? Those were deprecated as an ID in like 2024. At least this list also mentions eVisa, but a lot of paperwork I've encountered this year doesn't! Disturbing that services specifically working with this aren't up to date

I'm not surprised but I am baffled that "whiny, self-absorbed, untrustworthy, amoral, clearly no principles or sense of duty" is routinely labeled as "masculine." It's like they read scholarly articles on the interwoven nature of masculinity and toxic masculinity and decided "just the toxic parts."

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

This is incredibly tragic. I had the pleasure of speaking at an MIT Libraries event last month and got to see the good work the do and the community they support. For a university of this caliber to shutter this many of its libraries--this is truly a travesty.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Rule:
The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising,
translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for
any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course
materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class
content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the
limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their
submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of
prohibited AI use

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it.
Why? Because.
•@Aetna can just decide they're not interested in covering something and then you're left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact.
This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don't want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium.
Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare.
Honestly fuck you@Aetna. I'm gonna do everything I can to destroy you.
