Two things can be — and are — true here: Bowser is not the champion DC needs in this moment, and The Washington Post has become a Trump rag. A newspaper that actually cared about the city in its name would not publish such an inflammatory, bullshit headline.
Gameshow idead: Middle-Aged Ninja Warrior. No people who work out 3 or more days/week. No body shaming. Just doughy people who see retirement ahead and are just tired of everything already.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Ahh, yes. This is why all women went trans years ago ... due to the relentless propaganda about how we are awful if we don't align with the male vision of "woman."
It was ok to question it while he was in the hospital as well.
Duh, I am just a simple-minded hickey from Hicksville who has no understanding of how the real world works. Thank God you are here to 'splain real good to me!
Again, only people. I am well aware of the law, as written. I am also aware that laws can and do change - when we elect better prople. You are the reason nothing changes: you are limited by your refusal to change.
People assemble. Businesses do not. Businesses are not people.
The more salient factor is women's economic independence. Educatikn is important, but if it can't be translated into economic gains, women are still at the mercy of their fathers/brothers/husbands.
Translation: AI doesn't work the way the tech bros claim it does, but you are an idiot for noticing.
Just a straight declaration that only people have constitutional rights. Only people can donate to political campaigns. All donations must be made public within 3 business days on an easily accessible website and in the paper.
Random Karl for the win!
Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.
Why? Why is anyone afraid of that man?!? The elite are cowards and should be taxed into non-existence. Institutions are led by cowards, and they should be thrown out on the streets.
... and also recognize @rweingarten.bsky.social for selling out teachers to cut a deal with that same ruling class.
*timely
Christ. The Dems are laying the groundwork to lose the mid-terms already.
In a massive push to reform the judiciary, we will need to define what "speedy" actually means going forward.
Now, imagine a nation where courts were tinely.
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Same with the police. 🤔
You will almost never see the mainstream media criticize each other. They barely even criticize right wing media like Fox. At a certain point it begins to resemble the mafia.
Thank you, Jerry Nadler. Anybody else in Congress over 70 should take note and stand down. You're set for life. Now get out of the way.
Points at REAGAN!
Counterpoint: It is not.
Why is Tom Bartlett?
Oh yes, when Michelle Obama fired most of HHS and CDC and said and practiced eugenics. I remember that so well.
Clever!
Fair point - but, I do think it was specifically fan service for people like me (who love the Alien franchise).
It is intentional. David (another sentient synth) misquoted in Alien: Covenant. David and the Prodigy boy wunderkid both think they're smarter than any human alive.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Block and move on.
At what point does trump fire RFK? Hopefully soon.
I was already pretty done with the news media but seeing clips yesterday from the Sunday shows where an anchor is like “but what if living in a Police State does reduce car jackings? Why would you be against that?” probably was the end
It only matters if Tom says so. Duh!
Body double! (That's how this works, right?)
"If the constitution does not say 'the President cannot cancel elections', then it's up to Congress to enact that legislation." --Samuel Alito, writing for the majority
I always pick the man. Two men? I pick both. Then, I explain crime/violence statistics. I am not popular.
He's writing about blue maga (among others). If democrats don't want criticism, then democrats are showing they are as authoritarian as Trump.
This is called "colonialism."
Even if there was a left-leaning mediasphere, we would still go outside it routinely. I think another poster had it right: we just want an honest media. One that has transparent standards and who understands what objectivity actually means.
The article from Wired making claims about some content creators was important. I don't think people (broadly) care if creators get paid (they should be). The problem is they did not disclose it. Another problem is left-leaners themselves: we like to get information from many different sources.
This highlights an interesting data point that explains the last-minute deciders. I believe that misogyny (multiplied by racism in Harris' case) explains an embarrassingly large percentage of why voters (men AND women) chose Trump (twice!) over well-qualified women early.
It only counts if you're a democrat.
we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead
Chicago mayor says police will not aid federal troops or agents reut.rs/3JFTTjS
You forgot something... "Therefore, I am DOING ..."
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Granddaughter or victim?
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
Yes. Always has. She is in the pocket of developers.
I am constantly amazed how Tesla stock remains stable given the mental insanity of its leader.
So, I thought about responding to all of this, but I opted to block instead. EAII can't be wrong (just ask him), and I started posting like I was speaking to a little boy. I don't want to do that. If y'all want to keep up with this, have it!
I am still amazed at how many Dems think Newsome is a possible nominee in 2028. He is targeting his own constituents - not with services, housing, a UBI, but with violence.
Clearly, you are not.
For someone who (at a minimum) alludes to their experience in the field of psychology (or education), you really seem to struggle with simple reading comprehension. Not everyone has subtext in their communication.
Good at taking tests is NOT a derogatory statement. I did NOT state or imply "mentally stunted." I said that, "mentally, they still function at that level." Functioning at your "peak" (which is what I said), cannot (definitionally) be stunted.
You are exhausting. And we have come full circle to you inferring a claim I never made.
Again, you are very good at changing topics. What a delight.
Guy who won't disclose his credentials now demands proof of mine. You are masterful at one thing: changing the topic.
Uhm ... WTAF?!? Rubio needs to be impeached.
Hmm... I actually told you I worked in andragogy. You don't know how psychometrics and andragogy work together? Interesting.
I think when a person references psychometrics as backing their claim, they are making an appeal to authority as you are betting on no one having been exposed to tgat field. Alas, your bet is wrong.
🤣
Suppose a Secretary of HHS claim vaccines cause autism. Should I care if he has no credentials in public health, virology, developmental health, or behavioral health?
You've grounded everything in your authority. Claim after claim after claim. That's all you've done while dismissing other's evidence. Have you no self-awareness at all?!?
What is your highest degree earned and in what field?
What is your highest degree and in what field?
Want to ace that biology test? Memorization. Good test takers = goid at taking tests. The person trying multiple strategies, may luck out with elimination and guesses, but ... who gets the better score? What is your highest degree and in what field.
What is YOUR highest degree attained and it what field?
That is ... not true. There are well known, studied processes for multiple choice. Skip hard questions/answer known questions first. Go back to unanswered questions and eliminate wrong answers. Re-read remaining unanswered questions and see which answers fully answers the question. Finally, guess.
And, BTW, if you actually read beyond the first example I listed, you would have seen I listed more than rote memorization as a needed skill.
Knowing this, what if, and bear with me here, I am actusl honest-to-god professor with specialization on research methodology, statistics, and social analysis and spent years focused on andragogy and actually know what I am talking about. Imagine!
I am particularly tired and cranky.
I read that as "AI-fist" and for a moment, I thought I had been unconscious for a few years.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
And, so we do not go down a rabbit hole, no - abstract thinking is NOT analytical reasoning). Test taking requires skills and practice, and being good at it is not a sign of analytical reasoning.
From Philosophy: Explain the concept of free will and relate it to determinism, using arguments from Holbach and Stace. Skills required: Recall + Rote memorization (multiple definitions of terms) + Abstract thinking + Argumentation.
Skill required: Recall + Grammar + Abstract thinking + Grammar
From English Lit: Drawing from your reading, select a novel that serves as a social critique of the time in which it was written. In a well-written essay, analyze how the author uses characterization, plot, or narrative voice to reveal the flaws of their contemporary society.
Skill: rote memorization.
From biology: 1) Which of the following happens LAST during mitosis? Microtubules emerge from the centrosomes. A)Tetrads form. B) The sister chromatids separate. C) Sister chromatids align on the metaphase plate. D) The spindles start to pull on the kinetochores of sister chromatids.
And, you are still wrong. Lets look at examples of college exam questions and how they do not involve analytical reasoning as you define it.
Again, you are making a claim that I, the OP, did not make.
If you want to make an entirely different claim, go to your own page and make that claim.
That was YOUR claim, which YOU made to refute a claim I never made (see OP below, which you continue to refuse to read, yet feel compelled to endlessly pretend to argue against).
Dems should immediately call Thomas Fugate (the 22-year old intern who T***p put in charge of counter terrorism) to testify about how we missed the danger signs posted by the Minneapolis gunman.
💯
Again, you make a claim backed up by ... what? Your evidence that you won't bother posting? And, again, you are making a claim about a claim I never made. I assume "reading comprehension" is a "root ability?"
Anecdotes, if they are the only evidence presented, are evidence contrary to your statement (I assume you have never sat it, let alone taught, a research methodology course).
As long as you post no evidence, then the self reported testing is the only evidence presented. But since you mention psychometrics (and earlier, root abilities), I would encourage you stop assuming "cognitive" testing - as I previously told you that was not what I was referring to.
The poster ignores evidence that contradicts his claim (that is when he interprets my OP to fit the claim he wants to make). I suspect he is a journalist (suspicion only) and his fee-fees are hurt.
Did you know you can borrow large sums of money tax free using your holdings as collateral, and only pay taxes on the money you collect to make the payments, effectively reducing your tax liability forever? Of fucking course you didn't. Because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
My video about how LLMs are not search engines has led to many, MANY comments telling me that I should be using Perplexity. Some insisting that Perplexity does not hallucinate. Out of a list of 26 papers it just provided me (in "Research" mode) 4 were real. FOUR. 85% hallucination rate.
I think everyone who follows politics (as opposed to the blue maga crowd), have always known Newsom is a fascist-lite POS.
Sometimes, violence is the answer.
