AI cracking unsolvable math problems while being kinda mid at writing is a much-needed W for humanities majors after a rough 21st century.

Along these lines, "let's give federal funding to scientists who want look at some lizard spit" sounds like something Rand Paul would have panned in his "Festivus" bit. But nope, that's how we got Ozempic folks! Very very hard to tell ex-ante what research is transformative!
"How do single-celled algae swim toward light sources" is the kind of project that gets DOGE'd—how does this help Americans? 20 years later, the underlying protein is a central tool in human neuroscience. We're a rich country, we should be funding way more basic science.

about to go to my cousin's wedding where there will be 800 people who don't use AI & am missing san francisco. it's nice being able to go to a random bar in sf & know that there's someone there who will be down to converse about the exact topics that most interest you. i take it for granted way too often

Don't worry about it. The Chinese also invented gunpowder, and then literally didn't invent guns because they were using it for fireworks. They love fireworks. They will always use technology for fireworks. They can't help themselves.
Did the world really think this tech is for fireworks displays only?

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Counterpoint: Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. Also there was the small matter of Jan 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons
Trump does a lot of things I hate. But you know what he doesn't do? Promote political violence against his enemies. The same can't be said about the worst wackadoodles on the Far extremes right now.

“So how much money could be out there in your Jesus Christ swaps and derivatives right now?” “Mmm. A billion dollars.” “What? How much bigger is the market of Rapture Derivatives than Second Coming trades?!” “About 20 times.”
So the reason this Polymarket “prediction market” is performing so insanely high is because there’s a second market asking if this market will go above 5%. People in the derivative market are manipulating this market. Which defeats the public policy case for prediction markets…

These are many of the same people who successfully overturned Roe v. Wade. We told you they'd come for same-sex marriage next. They're coming. The only question is whether they succeed.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: A broad coalition of pro-family groups is organizing to overturn Obergefell. The campaign declares that children are "Greater Than" so-called "Equality." Marriage and family law should prioritize the needs of children, not the predilections of adults. Here's the powerful video with @albertmohler, @LilaGraceRose, @Advo_Katy, @conservmillen, @JBStonestreet, @michaeljknowles, @FocusFamily's Jim Daly, @DelanoSquires, @tperkins, & @josh_hammer. The coalition includes: @AmericanFamAssc, @ColsonCenter, @FRCdc, Focus on the Family, @ThemBeforeUs, @CatholicVote, @LiveAction, @AbbyJohnson, @SteveDeaceShow, @RuthInstitute, @RonColeman, @CBMWorg, @sgruber91, @CCVPolicy, @AKFamilyCouncil, @indianafamily, @theFAMiLYLEADER, @MarylandFamily, @MAFamilyInst, @ncfamilypolicy, @txvalues & more dailysignal.com/2026/01/28/e…

Happy to help, sir. From Judge Ellis: "Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times about the events that occurred in Little Village that prompted him to throw tear gas at protesters." "Bovino and DHS have represented that a rock hit Bovino in the helmet before he threw tear gas. ...On the first day," of his deposition "Bovino admitted that he was not hit with a rock until after he had deployed tear gas...

Then identify the lie, Jake. No one can seem to find this mysterious " lie".
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As reported in an opinion from Judge Sara Ellis, "Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times about the events that occurred in Little Village that prompted him to throw tear gas at protesters." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
