Apple pie isn’t especially “American.” Which adds a twist to the saying: “As American as apple pie.”

Whereas Kavanaugh’s opinion concurred with the judgement but dissented on the reasoning, Gorsuch’s opinion seems to be in dissent with the judgement but concurs with some of the reasoning in regards to birthright citizenship for children born in USA to undocumented immigrants 🙃 Visitor vs Immigrant.

Will there be any dissenters in the birth right citizenship case or will the most radical conservative Justices simply add separate concurrences with different levels of vile

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.
A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny sitting down looking alert. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little polkadot vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"

I wonder if there are enough uncertainties about predictive AI that it will be used as a front to hide insider trading? Or conversely using insider trading to promote and then sell a predictive AI model that is actually a sham.

It’s a small point, but the video I saw showed Pretti spitting on the vehicle. NOT “spitting in the face” of the ICE officer. It reminds me of Trump admin officials saying “Pretti was armed”, while leaving out that he was shot after being disarmed. Trump’s distortion of facts is pervasive.

A big problem is that what we have are chatbots, but we think they are “answerbots”. And as one should expect from something trained by the internet it will confidently give a false answer before admitting it doesn’t know.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
