It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes.

Right?

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension Contact Congress today!

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mikeβ€”all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

it's so goofy to believe making software that mimics human thought is related in any meaningful way to making software that thinks. building the most amazing lifelike animatronic horse the world ever saw does not represent progress if your goal is to create a real horse. huge waste of time actually

You can't invent the lightbulb by improving the candle. You can't create new shit just by reading, regurgitating and rewording old shit. AI would tell you to build an iron lung to treat the symptoms but the human brain discovers penicillin to kill the cause of the symptoms.

Societal crises disrupt long-term increases in stress, negativity, and simplicity in US Billboard song lyrics from 1973 to 2023 - Scientific Reports This study examines diachronic trends in stress-related language, sentiment, and lyrical complexity in popular music’s lyrics from 1973 to 2023, exploring how major societal shocks influenced people’s music preferences and offering insights into collective mood management through music. Over 20,000 lyrics of songs in the US Top 100 charts during this period were analyzed using Natural Language Processing techniques, with stress-related language assessed using a dictionary-based approach (LIWC), sentiment estimated via a rule-based sentiment analysis tool (VADER), and complexity via the LZ77 compression algorithm. Our analysis reveals a significant increase in stress-related language, alongside declines in positive sentiment and lyrical complexity over five decades. Surprisingly, societal shocks like COVID-19 coincided with attenuations rather than amplifications of these trends, indicating a preference for emotion-incongruent music, which may serve as a form of emotion regulation, such as escapism. When controlling for long-term trends, we found no significant relationship between income growth and stress or sentiment in lyrics. In contrast, periods of high-stress language corresponded with increased lyrical complexity. These results support the notion that music plays a dual role in collective mood management, functioning as mood management and regulation, depending on the context and intensity of societal emotions.

Over the past 50 years the lyrics of popular songs in the US have become simpler, more negative, and contain more stress-related words, according to an analysis in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that their findings reflect the complex ways people use music to navigate stress. πŸ§ͺ
