Using this thread to pin a lot of the work I've done since creating this account:
Complain about affirmative action for four years, then nominate the most unqualified people you've ever seen Incredible
Pretty wild that the American response to COVID has just been the rejection of the concept of public health.
"how could this have happened," we cried from our vacation home while our kids were barely affording groceries
We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening. nyti.ms/3Apvv1R
If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate. Realize this is coming.
Wow. Lucas Kunce just destroyed Josh Hawley on the debate stage. You need to watch this.
SCOOP: Workers Say They Were Tricked and Threatened as Part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort Paid canvassers in Michigan were hauled into a U-Haul van with no rear seating, threatened with money being withheld for their motel rooms & more @WIRED wired.com/story/elon-mus…
This is why the joke matters. Cause it’s not a joke.
I do not know any economist who thinks Trump would be a good President, or who thinks he would be good for the economy. And of course, tariffs are not paid by other countries! Fellow laureates agree: cnn.com/2024/10/23/pol…
Oh no, Chris Jones is ruining the scale here. (He is basically what Aaron Donald was when Aaron Donald was still in the league)
Great news! The @FTC just finalized a new rule to make it as easy for Americans to cancel a subscription as it was to sign up—sometimes with just one click. The Biden-Harris Administration is living up to its promise to protect consumers and save families money.
NEW: The FTC has finalized its “Click to Cancel” rule – which will require companies to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up. Unwanted subscriptions add up for Americans, and our Administration is taking action to save families time and money.
Conservatives would really like to believe that cities are mooching off of prosperous rural areas, but it’s just not true. Urban counties are pretty consistently the least dependent on government programs for their income.
Why do those in the city seem to support Democrat policies? Democrat policies generally focus on social programs. Are more people in urban areas dependent on said social programs? If so, why do we fund that? They choose to stay in an area where costs are significantly higher.
We're not taking lanes from cars. We're giving them back to people.
Let me summarize exactly how Elon showed his entire ass here 🧵: -Brazil asked Elon to ban 7 fascist accounts spreading disinformation -Elon refused pretending it was a free speech issue even though he complied multiple times with similar requests from right wing govts
Elon: "I've kept lying to you again and again about Tesla's 'Full Self Driving' capabilities for the last 8 years, but you should believe everything I say about politics and everything else." x.com/RealDanODowd/s…
Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. propublica.org/article/epa-sc…
It's a bit sad and confusing that LLMs ("Large Language Models") have little to do with language; It's just historical. They are highly general purpose technology for statistical modeling of token streams. A better name would be Autoregressive Transformers or something. They…
CLASSIC TAKEDOWN: Watch as Jamie Raskin, a well-known Democratic leader, exposes Byron "The GOP Butler" Donalds for his lack of understanding of constitutional law and hypocritical attempts to defend Donald Trump. Raskin's swift dismantling of Donalds highlights the…
This dropped hearing aid prices by 90%+. Countless people who couldn’t afford hearing aids can hear now. Biden has done a ton of stuff like this. Don’t listen to the doomposters who tell you it doesn’t matter who’s in office. It does.
This Apple hearing aid feature exists because the government broke a hearing aid cartel with an FDA rule whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
