It's quite depressing that we're not allowed to have nice things that save women's lives and bodies because it's now a moral imperative to oppose linear algebra.

Exactly 80 years ago tomorrow (Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth should be very worried. www.executedtoday.com/2009/11/30/1...

No assertion from this administration should be presented as fact unless independently verified
Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

whoever solves this will make no money but will deserve to be canonized after they die
It is really hard for me to suggest to people that they should try doing work without LLMs to challenge themselves when there's so much pressure from management to use these things pervasively. Instead I get PRs that people clearly don't understand that don't do anything useful.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

More than 80% of people ONLY read the headline of an article. And neurologically, lies are "stickier" than truth, meaning they remain in the memory for much longer. The more something is repeated, the more the brain believes it is true. SO DON'T PUBLISH LIES!!! It's real simple, folks.

BREAKING: The majority of executives and upper management are totally talentless hacks.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
