Happy #MayThe4th from the White House social media account which is definitely run by a legit #StarWars fan and is totally gonna own the libs by accusing them of being the "Empire" and helping "Sith lords" while posting an image of #Trump wielding a *red* light saber.

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, seems compelled to demonstrate, over and over again, that he has no fucking idea what he's talking about.

A nihilist, a fascist, and a grifter walk into a Nazi bar. The bartender says: "A Diet Coke, President Trump?"

If Alaska gets special carveouts in Trump’s budget bill then California should withhold federal tax and/or secede from the union.

If billionaires want to fund our government then they can just pay their fair share of taxes.Needless to say, it is dangerous AF for the wealthy to selectively fund any part of our government, let alone sponsor our armed forces.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/politics/timothy-mellon-donation-troops.html?unlocked_article_code=1.wE8.O57l.gjYd1RWIkWp5&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

This part in particular examines a key tension:"LLM-generated prose undermines a social contract of sorts: absent LLMs, it is presumed that of the reader and the writer, it is the writer that has undertaken the greater intellectual exertion. (That is, it is more work to write than to read!) For the reader this is important: should they struggle with an idea, they can reasonably assume that the writer themselves understands it — and it is the least a reader can do to labor to make sense of it."

"If, however, prose is LLM-generated, this social contract becomes ripped up: a reader cannot assume that the writer understands their ideas because they might not so much have read the product of the LLM that they tasked to write it."
