Imagine building an entire adult personality around "I finished fifth in a college swimming championship three years ago and I'm still furious I didn't get to be fourth. Therefore, a congresswoman must debate me."

It's just a turducken of loser shit.

This article quotes the university president saying Lia was on the women's swimming and diving team, but she's not on this year's roster on their athletic department website. The NCAA banned her from being on the team when Trump first took office.

Lía Smith, a missing trans student in Vermont has been found dead.

"Vermont State Police touted the national 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for those in distress or their loved ones." This is the same lifeline the Trump admin cut for LGBTQ people in crisis.

Before castigating a book for not using a term, you should check to see if the book uses a term.

Hi! Sorry I'm just seeing this now! Would love to send you the book! This article doesn't describe The Squeeze quite right, it's about a particular moment in the lifecycle for women when time and money are both tight. OF COURSE I know I stand on the shoulders of giants!

Semafor newsletter via @willsommer.bsky.social. I have expired. I am deceased.

Washington Post CEO Will Lewis has largely stayed out of the public eye as the paper has scaled back its staff and altered the direction of its opinion page. But that hasn't stopped him from recruiting. In recent months, Lewis attempted to hire the Free Press reporter Olivia Reingold, two people familiar with the situation told Semafor, an idea that he discussed with owner Jeff Bezos, who supported the move. The idea was for Reingold to serve as one of the first new faces in the paper's overhauled opinion section, with Bezos' new focus on free markets and personal liberties. The attempt to hire Reingold to create written and video opinion content is part of the Post's push to make the paper's journalists engage in different mediums; the paper announced earlier this year that it was launching a creator network and hiring staff to create more personality-driven content. Reingold declined to comment; a spokesperson for the Post said the paper doesn't comment on hiring discussions.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

The President isn’t describing an IQ test. He’s most likely describing a dementia screening and is describing it as “very hard.”

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.
