The implication of this "New York Times" headline is that "goy" is simply a slang term used by Generation Z now, no longer attached to antisemitic implications. I think this is not only wrong, but rather dangerous for the newspaper to be printing.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

This idea that we're all personal Super PACs who must talk like we're part of a paid political broadcast every minute is a significant part of what's wrong with Democratic politics.

It’s so weird that people latched onto a bunch of mostly bullshit justifications for disliking a technology that has immediate obvious negative societal externalities. It’s made it way harder to teach writing but people scream about imaginary lakes evaporating.

The commonly cited AI water usage statistics are based on a methodology where, if your data center buys green energy from a hydroelectric dam (as lots do, including the hyperscalers), then “natural evaporation of the water from the lake behind the dam” is counted as that data center’s water use.

Everyone in Toronto talks like this

undeniably funny

i'm getting really into cognitive decoupling (by which i mean psychologically pathologizing my political opponents on the basis of tendentious interpretation of low-quality opinion surveys)

Columbia is the most craven university in the US right now. Students should go elsewhere as this place will not protect them.
