"Some questions have earned their place in the landfills of science & society. Questions that toy with genocide, like those that dance around racial or gender inequality, should not be tolerated."

"If the leading voices in the field continue to ask these questions, then no matter the answer, everyone will... continue to wonder, they will continue to follow those lines of thought to terrible, terrible places."

There He is again. Always cropping up where evil is being inflicted on the poor, weak and despised for the benefit of the blessed.

We lost our dog to old age 2 years ago, and I just recently started scrolling through PetFinder app. Wilcox suddenly appeared on my screen and had me lol'ing. I might have to check him out.

[S]uch simplistic trolling has become an essential part of the faux-tough-guy, vice-signaling discourse of the Trump era. It’s a tone Noem valiantly tries to emulate.

@Centurion480 Sorry, friend. Wrong state.

Let's get this straight, people!
Ignorance of the two Dakotas may be convenient to most who simply fly over, but its alienating as hell to those of us who are living it on the ground.

#Minnesota #News

Article 13, Section 7 of the Minnesota Constitution states

“No license required to peddle.

Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.“

Because of this wording a group of Minnesotans is arguing the state constitution allows them to sell their home-grown marijuana — they’re legally growing — without a sales license and are asking a judge to weigh in.

With today’s announcements at Google I/O, the web has entered a state of managed decline https://www.platformer.news/google-io-ai-search-sundar-pichai/

@caseynewton "...a company that once proudly served as an entry point to a web that it nourished with traffic and advertising revenue has begun to abstract that all away into an input for its large language models."

Curious to see if a LLM, once built, can sustain itself without new human generated content. Why build your new 'fields of dreams' on the web, if users are never going to come anyway.

The old grain elevators of Arena. Arena is a #GhostTown in central #NorthDakota that has had no residents in a few years. The elevators are starting to lean, but it will probably be a while before they fall over.

@lwbadger I've been Arena many times. It has a place in our oral family history. Has the old lutheran church finally collapsed on itself?

Saturday night’s all right for… Emanuel Reynoso news!

As many have noted from social media, he is indeed back in Minnesota. #mnufc has “outlined clear steps that he must complete before any reintegration with the first team,” according to a club spokesman.

@curt_nordgaard
I won't make a prediction, but I don't think I'm alone in my growing enthusiasm to take down the right wing facists. If I disagree with #Biden on 10 things, I disagree with #Trump on 1,000 things. Never have I ever voted for myself (ie a perfect candidate). Its like buying a car: choose the one that most closely fits your needs. #Democracy fits my needs in 2024, even an imperfect one.

@Lassielmr I wouldn't take that bet.
