Each new law against trans people in society will just become the platform for the next law restricting someone else. Possibly you. Dont fall for it.

LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text

But... can they? We don’t actually know.

In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test.

And our findings are striking:
LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

Schumer and pals gave away the healthcare of tens of millions of Americans for nothing, even though they had more momentum on their side than their party has seen in years.

BREAKING

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.

The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

I feel like the subtext of what is happening hasn't been talked about directly - this is an attempt to drive a wedge between the working poor, disabled, etc and the workers in precarity. There's been increasing solidarity, but SNAP recipients and ACA subsidy are not greatly overlapping. >
So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

First it was the mess hall, but apparently soon it will also be the commissary.

Making it hard for enlisted (and logistics staff) to eat is not a good idea.

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it:

Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal.

And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok
