nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opi… Trump, Trump, Trump. Does the author think that if there is a Democratic presidency and Congress in 2028, this deal with Columbia will be rescinded? Biden actually retained the tariffs imposed by Trump in the latter's first term. In California with the…
I think some of the explosion of diagnoses like autism and ADHD is attributable to high-performing parents coping with mean reversion. Their kids are not as outstanding as they expect, and this must be explained and labeled.
She is a beautiful teacher who welcomes children with a beautiful welcome.😍❤️
So many Chinese propagandists’ accounts are mocking India and Indians beyond any manners. The posts are racist and vulgar. Looks like a coordinated propaganda campaign and tells more about the messengers than anything else.
🚨NEW: The two janitors who were trapped by protestors in Hamilton Hall last year have settled with @Columbia. Notably, the two are still suing 40 protestors who held them hostage. Thank you Mr. Wilson and Mr. Torres for your hard work at Columbia! nypost.com/2025/07/24/us-…
I asked Claude to fix a bug and provided only a part of the application code because the full code wouldn't fit into the context. It printed updated code files, including one I hadn't shown it. So it hallucinated this file entirely, and it had exactly the same code as the…
Beinart is an anti Zionist zealot who would do anything to besmirch them Why is Hamas not surrendering and blocking food distribution?
🚨EXPOSE IT ALL🚨 Why are kids feeling so anxious and depressed in California? Maybe because our public schools (I blame @GavinNewsom) are nothing more than identity indoctrination factories. This morning, I walked through Holmes Junior High School in Davis to document the…
Today's Sacramento Bee article calls me a “Davis-based, anti-trans activist” for believing children can't consent to sterilizing drugs or irreversible surgeries. I am actually pro-reality, pro-women, pro-child. Interesting how the reporter, a SacBee summer news intern, only…
Gotta admit… there's nothing quite like the feel of holding a paper copy of your book in your hands. (First time since 2007, haven't done new printing version since.) And color print-on-demand has gotten remarkably affordable, so price unchanged (just drop royalty a bit).
Ex-CDC Director CONFIRMS Covid-19 was engineered in a lab and FUNDED by the US (Fauci). “I don’t have any doubt in my mind now—five years later—that the source of COVID was a laboratory.” “They INTENTIONALLY changed COVID-19... and they taught it how to infect humans.” “Tony…
Government plans to reintroduce extradition cooperation with Hong Kong are highly concerning. Why does the Government deem this reasonable when freedom of expression, political freedom and the rule of law in Hong Kong have been crushed by The National Security Law and the…
BREAKING: The UN says that the reason they are not delivering over 950 trucks sitting in Gaza, is because the “routes are unsafe.” The IDF offered to escort the UN, to which they refused. Make it make sense.
Jews stood side by side with the black community during their worst days in the US> Fuking unbelievable how quick they throw us not just under the bus, but literally back to the gas chambers. Unreal.
Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell in 1968. ✍️ In 1967, Bell Burnell (aged 24) was working on her Ph.D. at Cambridge when she discovered Pulsars. The discovery was one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of astrophysics.
Will defunding NPR make it move to the center? Or will it be even more reliant on a singular political base to fund it, and cater to them more than they already do (if that's possible)? I really miss the old NPR, when they didn't present things they disagreed with as bigotry.
I'm not crying, you're crying 🧵 1) Never have I read anything better than this
yesterday I told my 2-year-old daughter the title of one of the papers I’m working on, and she nodded silently. this morning she walked up to me, pointed at the paper on my computer screen, and said “cohomology!”
I went to Starbucks and then to Chick-Fil-A the other day. Now that's a study in human nature! Why are the employees so different?
Interesting piece by Matt Levine on the huge AI salaries: “I tell you what, if Meta Platforms Inc. paid me a $100 million signing bonus to come work for their artificial intelligence business, I would be the most dedicated worker they have ever seen until the check cleared!…
