My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Khanna: I kind of feel bad for James Carville. It’s like watching an athlete who’s been in ten seasons too long, and you know he’s lost his fastball. Someone has got to just say, “James, you had a great run in 1992. Just enjoy retired life.”

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

If there were any justice in the world, every day would be #WorldWombatDay, but today is the official day to celebrate these glorious creatures that crush their enemies with their buttocks, dig burrows tens of metres long, constantly regrow their teeth, have babies called wombatlets, and poop cubes.

AES: "Everybody tells me how it's a big risk to be taking Qs down the stretch. 'Why don't you just give your speech and walk off the stage?' Because I believe people deserve the right to ask Qs. Sometimes it's going to be bad faith R plants, most often it's good faith folks who just want an answer."

But why would anyone need a good Halloween road safety video? Oh.

Gas station book club. I read this one only ~2 years ago, so I'm just skimming to get some notes for the Halloween road safety video.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

“Putting the Talking Heads on the playlist allows a restaurant to absorb a sense of timeless cool. Like the band, it signals that what you’re eating is not hyper-contemporary… singular but still deeply enjoyable.” How “This Must Be the Place” Became the Ultimate Restaurant Song:

Yes, it sucks that the No Kings insta was suspended (though I still think it was likely an automated tripwire, rather than deliberate). But falling back into "well we have to politically punish media execs to get better results" doesn't fix anything.

... the answer is to not use platforms like Insta, and bring communities to social media built on open protocols, such as atproto or ActivityPub, where the account holder has way more control.

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

There is a spelling game and you have to spell the opposites. I could not figure it out. The opposite of "allow". Starting with a or b. I guess maybe it was supposed to be ban.

Now, I still have a problem with the tank slide, the fact that they neglected the playground for a year and a half after the veterans part, and there are a couple layout issues, but Harahan does deserve a little apology because they did come through.

95 years ago, on the 17th of October 1931, Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion when he was 33 years old, ending seven years of mob boss activity. He was released from prison in 1939 as he suffered from neurosyphilis. #otd #history 🗃️

In 2017 a journalist coined the term perseverance porn. It highlights an individual struggle against systemic adversity, celebrating that struggle while completely ignoring the deliberate preventable and completely unnecessary nature of the systemic adversity. This is perseverance porn.

Sometimes it's ok to call a shitty movie a shitty movie. It doesn't have to be a huge personal affront to the entire film industry.
