I'd probably ask for a credible alternative explanation of this population graph. 800k-1m deaths in 100 days, ie 8-10k PER DAY, amounting to the deaths (mostly by machete) of between two-thirds and three-quarters of the entire Tutsi population, with a civilian:military death ratio of 70 or 100:1

She has a strong point of view. A point of view is only "bias" if arrived at that erroneously, for example by misrepresenting or unjustifiably disregarding relevant evidence. This high-level analysis of her IAGS critique suggests she cannot be so easily dismissed.

I know there's a significant risk in elevating AI's opinions too highly, but tell me honestly, do you even *consider* asking an AI whether what you're saying here is easily falsified before you post?

And here's the follow-up. "Pages 38–39 do show waning effectiveness, and some late estimates cross below zero. But they do not justify the claim that vaccinated adults become more likely to have severe disease after 180 days"

I hope you'll excuse me asking ChatGPT to evaluate this. Of course AIs are not fully dependable, and perhaps you can demonstrate that it has erred here.

Excellent from Nick Cohen (@nickcohen.bsky.social). The Greens vs Reform: "England's future: Islamist apologists vs white nationalists" nickcohen.substack.com/p/englands-f... Populists from either end of the horseshoe will bring disaster. Polanski vs Farage is the new Corbyn vs Johnson.

It was always BS that Trump was going to help Ukraine with Tomahawks (or anything else). To the world's press & politicians, FFS, stop making the same error over & over again. Fool me once: shame on you Fool me thirty times and counting: shame on me phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-is-t...

There are other photos from that shoot that show an apparently well-fed brother of the emaciated child. The mother too does not appear malnourished. That is not to say there is no hunger in Gaza. But then why not just show pictures of people genuinely affected by the aid blockade?

David Allen Green (@davidallengreen.bsky.social‬) on the SCOTUS decision on "lifting the Boasberg temporary injunction orders". TLDR; not bad, could have been better, could have been worse, but habeus corpus DOES need to be taken seriously by the Trump administration.
