Today's question for @nytimes.com and Russ Douthat:
OMFG, @nytimes.com. And yes, yes we did. We ruined it for the racists and misogynists and exploiters and rapists. The "Mad Men" workplace with men's hands up skirts, making racial slurs, demeaning people, is no more--and yes, we did and are still doing that! And don't Douthat we will ruin you too.

The reliance by @Duolingobrasil.com.br on AI has made it totally unreliable. It tells you to translate a sentence but only provides the words in the same language. It doesn't know when to use "Mr" & "Mrs" vs "sir" or "ma'am." These problems have been increasing in recent weeks.

And yes, simply repeating the words in the same language was the “correct” “translation”

This is what happens when you rely on AI instead of humans. This is only the most egregious error I’ve experienced using @duolingoverde.bsky.social since they switched.

Sure, magats, it's all about deporting "criminals" until it's a triple murderer and arsonist and then it's "welcome to America, our president is a felon too!"

The only thing we should be deporting is injustice.

seems like if you win an election at least partly by harping on the horrors of fentanyl you should maybe do something about it?

Years ago Sting sang “I hope the Russians live their children too.” Now the world hopes that America’s mad king’s love of self will prevent him from pushing that button. Clearly we need to fix this.
