remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.

Good thing we don’t have a long history of people incorrectly projecting human traits on computers and overestimating what they’re really doing.
In computer science, the ELIZA effect is a tendency to project human traits—such as experience, semantic comprehension or empathy—onto rudimentary computer programs. ELIZA was a symbolic AI chatbot developed in 1966 by Joseph Weizenbaum that imitated a psychotherapist. Many early users were supposedly convinced of ELIZA's intelligence and understanding, despite its basic text-processing approach and the explanations of its limitations.

While imperfect and unevenly enforced, the Americans with Disabilities Act was a genuine civil rights milestone that has literally reshaped our society for the better. We should celebrate it loudly.

It would be nice if, at the very least, the people reporting on this stuff properly contextualized it by explicitly stating that if the president can do this the union has ceased to exist. It's not hyperbole or figurative language. There is no union. "Unconstitutional" doesn't cover it.

Before sports betting was legalized everywhere, I was neutral about it, thinking that it was a personal choice. Now that it exists everywhere I have been radicalized against it like a 19th century suffragette

People ask me: "Dr. Commish, why Light Rail? Why can't the Blue Line just be a bus?" To be clear — I'm a regular bus rider. But this corridor needs buses AND Light Rail. Because Bus Rapid Transit brings only one-quarter of the investment Light Rail does. 🧵

I don't know how much it broke through to people who weren't on the ground in the Twin Cities during Metro Surge, but ICE agents were so horned up for violence that they did shit like shoot through closed doors and into childrens' bedrooms. It was all a power fantasy come to life for them.
“One of the things [the BCA] does is it put rods through the bullet holes,” Moriarty said, adding that the bullet went “in-and-out” of Sosa-Celis’ thigh and kept moving. “[The bullet] goes through the front door, it goes through a closet and then the child’s room, it hits and you can see it in the child’s room, bulging. It stopped in the wall. You can see the protrusion there. You can see how dangerous this was.”

A lawyer for one of the residents of this north Minneapolis duplex examines damage, including a bullet hole, to an interior bedroom reportedly sustained Jan. 14 when a federal agent fired his weapon toward a Venezuelan man following an alleged assault outside. The fragment apparently traveled past a portable crib and a mattress in a room where several small children sleep. (Provided)

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

The appeal to "nature" is the siren song of fascism. It is the insidious lie of the so-called "transcendent" order that seeks to place humanity in its demented thrall, the idea that our desire and need to shape our world and our selves, which itself springs from nature, is somehow not "nature"

Israel's attacks on Lebanon are no accident. It’s the direct result of a regional war manufactured by Trump and Netanyahu. Israel has killed over 1,000 people, including 118 children. More than 1 million displaced. Congress must stop bankrolling this terror campaign.

After last night, some sections of college football want Indiana to apologize for crashing the Playoff party. If they want to sustain the things that made them successful this fall, the Hoosiers should do the exact opposite. Insider: www.indystar.com/story/sports... #iufb

IU football crashed the CFP party — and shouldn't have to apologize for any of it.
Apologize for nothing. That’s Indiana football’s identity now. Embracing it will win you games.
