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.🧵

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.
