Trump’s immigration detention camps exist to drive profits for the prison companies giving him money.

The more profit they make, the more money they’ll give him, and the more people he’ll find to fill up those prisons — it’s not about crime and it won’t stop with immigrants.

Last week Trump called a female reporter a “piggy” on Air Force One.

Today he’s attacking Katie Rogers of the New York Times

He called her “ugly both inside and out”

His misogyny knows no bounds

For advanced questions, I think you've got to go with the paid models. They're so much better.

Granted, the search-user-facing one leaves a lot to be desired. Gemini is amazing at probabilistic programming, tough. GPT5.1, too.

Yes, but treatment effect heterogeneity determines how well we can learn an average effect (so it seems worthy of thinking of and perhaps modeling).

What models are you using? Gemini is extremely good at advanced statistics (let alone simpler things).

So depraved that China supports the Russian genocide of Ukraine.

I know there is lot going on but Witkoff got rolled by the Russians again. A bunch of R Senators said hold up today (including Graham) and Rubio just threw the clown car in reverse. Total shit show.
Two billion kids would REALLY appreciate it if we did more about this than just make a few non-binding promises every year & then instantly forget about them.

This is nuts.

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.

Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.
Omg everything is so stupid.

Oh good, they left Chiropractors as professionals but not Nurses, NPs, PA’s or physical therapists

That’s infuriating

Ah, it's cool you'll be able to answer so many more nuanced questions.

Here's what worries the Fed (and me!): The unemployment rate is slowly drifting up. This is a clear sign of an unhealthy economy. And it's happening slowly enough that it hasn't attracted many headlines. But it really matters.
The President has put tariffs on the whole economy in an effort to revive manufacturing.

It's not working.

Grok is brilliant everybody! 😂

What AI bubble? Practically everyone depends on it.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

Waller’s right.
Inflation (ex-tariffs) is near target; expectations anchored. Job creation has stalled, revisions show the weakness. Vacancies, quits, hiring—down. Most households are stressed. Staying restrictive now would hit workers least able to absorb it. A December cut is the responsible move.

MEISELAS: “If the Epstein files had all this evidence that showed Trump was completely innocent guy, but that it actually incriminated all of these Democrats, Donald Trump would be the first person to say, "Let's release those Epstein files."

It’s really this simple.

Ah cool, I’d love to read it when it’s ready.
