I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?
🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.
I posted something sincere to focus on the grieving families and send peace and strength during an extremely difficult time and the amount of grief I am getting from that is exhausting,,, people lost their lives and I just want to respect and send love to all the victims and friends and family.
Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care
Senator Tommy Tuberville: We have an attention deficit problem in this country. Attention deficit — when you or I were growing up — our parents didn’t use a drug they used a belt.
I love how he basically pops off after winning!
just start saying this plainly to more people i'm serious.
The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has. Or did you not pay attention at all in school?
I love classic folk horror films like “Get Away From Me Turnip Patch, Dracula” (1965) and “Welsh Dracula” (1967)
sorry if I'm being a little annoying about violations to the constitution, but damn it feels weird to be on the side making a fuss about that
This is a significant change. The DCA corridor feels harrowing due to all those helicopters as anyone taking planes from the airport knows.

As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

DeepSeek took off in part because, in a first, it offered a reasoning model that explains to you what it's doing. Its success shows how little AI product teams have done so far to make their products appealing to normal people: www.platformer.news/deepseek-des...
How else could chatbots be made more appealing? The popularity of r1’s chain of thought suggests that they should communicate more about their process, and in particular offer the user guidance on how to refine their queries when they don’t get the answer they’re looking for. Just telling users how a chatbot understood their question seems to build an outsized amount of trust. 

I also think there’s something appealing about r1’s humility — in conveying its own lack of certainty, it sounds less like the authoritative robots we have come to expect and more like Star Wars’ C-3PO. That’s somewhat counterintuitive — I don’t know many people who think the final form of superintelligence is a bumbling droid — and yet too often we forget how alien and unapproachable these systems remain to all but the most devoted AI nerds.
