I am corporal anxiety. Driven by love. Fueled by coffee. I hate cruelty, willful ignorance, & jello.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

NEW: At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians.

I spoke too soon. The settings button is now missing. You're on the right track, though. Keep debugging. It was perfect while it lasted.

@NYTGames has finally brought dark mode to Spelling Bee! Thank you!

Asheville is over 2,000 feet above sea level, and ~300 miles away from the nearest coastline. No place is safe from climate change.

We all suffer the consequences. We must all take action. We are all in this together.

Cientos de miles de personas de Cuba, Venezuela, Haití y Nicaragua podrían perder su estancia legal luego de que el presidente Joe Biden anunció que permitiría que los permisos temporales para inmigrantes caducaran.

This is an outrage. There is no justice in this system. Missouri is guilty of wrongful imprisonment and murder.

Breaking News: Missouri executed Marcellus Williams after the governor and courts rejected concerns raised by the office of the original prosecutor on the case. https://t.co/owM9CO4ZOm

People need public transportation for critical appointments, job interviews, jobs, school, and more.

You can't deter poverty and the need for public transportation with the threat of arrest.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

There is no evidence that police in the subways are lowering crime. What we do know: NYPD is swallowing up valuable resources, harassing New Yorkers, making needless arrests, & engaging in violent & reckless confrontations on the subway.

Some research and stats.

New: The rate of Texas women who died because of pregnancy or childbirth rose sharply in 2020 and 2021 to the highest since the state started tracking maternal deaths in 2013. https://t.co/bILgyPb8TL

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed crime is rising across the country. David Muir of ABC News stepped in to fact-check Trump, saying that the FBI says overall violent crime is down — one of several instances the moderators fact-checked Trump’s claims. https://t.co/A4ou8fQjW4

Shut down the Department of Education? Almost certainly impossible, but still a helpful window into how Trump is thinking about education this time around, and how Harris is responding https://t.co/BAKTSXReCc

Let’s talk about debt! Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years https://t.co/ksj22zmsHt

@Angietweetz This. You want to know the character of a man, you look at how he responds to the most important questions in the world.... He simply doesn't. He responds about what is most important to himself.... Himself.

Love the show, but the new graphics are so busy, it is difficult to follow along. Simplifying the formats will improve elegance and watch ability. Please consider revising.

@cityoflubbock Why schedule these meetings when only those wealthy enough to take off work at at 2pm on a Tuesday can be there?

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

The difference between helping elderly voters in a systematic way to drive turnout and breaking the law can be a thin line, especially as the state's voting laws have changed in recent years, election observers say. https://t.co/K5F6pVTkUe

Free meals in schools is a greater service to kids than the Ten Commandments being hung in their schools.

Jesus called us to feed the hungry.

Jesus didn’t call us to hang posters of our beliefs in front of the hungry.
