I just looked this up to confirm and every news source from at least 2 days ago mentions he's a Green candidate somewhere in the story

The shitty part of it all is that before modern LLMs, we had amazing technology that provided accommodations for so many people.

I think of things like: customized words/phrase prediction, autocorrect, suggestions, voice to text and vice versa, etc.

And now NOTHING is not enmeshed with "a.i."

Common thread in all the things wrong with genAI use across industries is that genAI is fundamentally anti-community and community is the most important part of any discipline, tradition, craft, study.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

I don't think you can fully understand how this fucks over Jamaica, without understanding Cuba medical interventionism.

07.03.2026 14:24 πŸ‘ 205 πŸ” 61 πŸ’¬ 5 πŸ“Œ 2

The *goal* is to harm Cuba I get that. But a lot of other places are going to be harmed if the US keeps going this route.

You know how there are Thai restaurants everywhere because the Thai government was doing culinary diplomacy?

Cuba was doing that only for healthcare, not least in Carribean countries that are struggling from brain drains to the US and the UK

If anything comes out of all this I hope we return to a gov that understands basic cause and effect

Personally I would love to see an AI founder wreck their pipes and be ankle deep in literal shit before calling a plumber

It’s funny how great singers are often also great impressionists. Having that kind of command over your voice lets you do whatever lol.

lol as a #PhD student, I have very strong opinions (surprise, surprise) about social science findings that generalize human behavior when they only focus on white people.

Where are the interviews with military historians about whether Trump’s military actually has capacity to do even half the things he’s promising?

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Update from Kevin Morrison:

Sunny Pavqi, who CBP said they never detained Thursday and Friday, appears to have been transferred to Wisconsin according to her phone location

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

A smoothie with soaked chia seeds and frozen mixed berries as part of breakfast. Add some beans and guacamole to your lunch bowl. Broccoli as a dinner side. You're in the 20s with minimal effort. Snack on an apple or popcorn and 30 grams is right there

UPDATE: An attorney I am in contact with, asked for her cell phone number to share with someone with the US Attorney Generalβ€˜s office to try to find the phone in the facility, conveniently enough shortly after her phone unlocks she sends out this text message 1/3
