Why are so many science people I follow so excited about Trump's vanity project shuttle launch? Are you all this excited for his ballroom too? Where is this coming from

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

I feel pretty strongly that the ai phenomenon could only ever have happened in the trump era. It took trump demonstrating that laws don't matter if you break them confidently for silicon valley to embrace doing exactly that as a core part of their business model

In 1902, Abigail Roberson sued when she discovered her face printed on flour sacks everywhere without her consent; the case led to one of the first privacy statutes in NY. But AI impersonations are fine, I guess

NEWS: Grammarly tells me it will let "experts" like me opt out of having their names used against their will and for no compensation as part of its "expert review" feature www.platformer.news/grammarly-ex...

Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com.

The company gave me this statement over email:

We’ve heard the feedback about this tool and appreciate the engagement from those who have taken the time to raise thoughtful questions about the functionality and the experts surfaced. We agree that the product experience can be improved for both users and experts. The agent was designed to help users discover influential perspectives and scholarship that add value to their work. We want the people behind those perspectives to have greater control over whether their name is used, while providing new ways for influential voices to reach new audiences. Our goal is to improve Expert Review to deliver this outcome.

❤️Happy Fredrick Douglass day!❤️ Because he was born enslaved, Fredrick Douglass never got to know his own birthday. Based on memories of his mother and anecdotes from his master, who was also his father, he estimated that he was born in February, so he chose to celebrate his birthday on 2/14.

Third: This whole thing smacks of gender. How much of this is leftist dudes wanting these actions to be seen as hardcore (opsec!) and not like something *ladies* can do after school drop offs. And which removes it from an organizing world in which women are particularly skilled to a Dude Op World

Not looking forward to the next democratic presidency when congressional Republicans inevitably impeach them every time they, like, fill out a form wrong or something

I'm finally playing both Thracia (fe5) and Path of Radiance (fe9). Both have early game "prison break" chapters and it's interesting to compare the different takes. Both chapters are essentially asking you to solve a puzzle, with the option to brute force if you don't care about the max rewards.

This is a frankly stupid way to look at the subject. Trump does not care what "analysts say" or what this cold war agreement "allows" him to do, and neither does congress. He probably doesn't even know about any of this. That's not where his power or decisions come from.

Greenland doesn't want to be bought by anyone — especially not the U.S. But a Cold War agreement already allows President Trump to increase military presence on the territory, analysts say. Here's what to know.
