If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s

The whole plan is bizzaro world stuff, so Russia, who gets rewarded for invading Ukraine by the plan, rejecting it is chefs kiss I guess.
Russia flat out rejects Trump's 28-point peace plan: "Even in a reduced military and territorial form, Ukraine would remain a significant danger, requiring us to keep our forces on the western borders."

And what does the science say? It is clear. We must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all. And "all" includes the inhabitants of those countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

Please! A bit of precision here would do a lot of good.
Sure, using AI instead of machine learning may make the media pay more attention to your study.
But do you really want the people reading the stories to believe that your results came from asking ChatGPT? And yes, they will believe that.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...
The third fascistic tactic to watch out for is their tendency to label anyone they disagree with who is to their left "a Communist." Fascists claim that they alone can save their nations from "the communist menace." Anyway, the 2024 GOP platform contains the phrase "Christ-hating communists."
