it’s kind of funny that the New York Times, which is probably at least 50% Ivy League on the editorial side, is one of the primary drivers of contemporary anti-intellectualism, but not really funny in a good way

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

This human-sized pimple is a corrupt, incompetent, asshole who should not be in office. He continues to rampage around Ontario ripping out bike lanes, ruining public land, and trying to abolish rent control.

In his first campaign to lead Ontario, Ford started out as a Trump-style populist. But tariffs changed his view and he is now a consistent thorn in the U.S. president's side.

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

The thing that makes the incredible attrition of black women coaches from the WNBA in the last 2 years contextually egregious is that the majority of players are black and the league is fighting very hard to keep underpaying them, while teams block their path to leadership roles.

There’s a plain desire and belief that there’s a path towards political power through white solidarity and we are seeing so many people reach for this.

Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

Words have fucking meaning, man. And distilling a theory created by a Black woman for Black women down to “not white“ ain’t it

Is it the time now to remind those in the WNBA circle that intersectionality does not mean “not white”??? It actually refers to the disenfranchisement of Black women in their workplaces in the eyes of the law
