I guess I picked the wrong time to discover I'm a Romney Republican. Here for science (genetics, cell biology and cancer), parenting, comedy and random crap.

@JimFilmsUFOs how did this 49-follower loser account (none of whom are people *I* follow) end up on my "Following" TL?

Rare Footage - Mothership Orb Releases Fleet of UFOS! I recorded this footage at my home in Long Beach on October 21, 2017. While I was in the backyard skywatching and doing some yard work, I noticed a massive object appear in the sky. It looked almost like a large portal opening overhead. Moments later, the object began releasing dozens of smaller orbs—more than 50 of them—that moved into the lower atmosphere. Interestingly, the smaller orbs were only visible through my infrared camera, which allowed me to capture what was happening. This remains the best recording I’ve ever taken, and the moment felt truly special to witness. At the time, I had just moved into the house with my now-wife, Mallory, and was learning how to settle into adult life. Experiencing something so unusual on that day made it a moment I’ll never forget. 👽💚

These cases are some of the most brazen fraud you will see. Given a free pass by Trump. In some cases, fraudsters pardoned or granted commutations during his first term went on to commit Ponzi schemes again.
Kenneth P. Vogel@kenvogel

Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 people convicted in fraud cases. At the same time, he says he is waging a "war on fraud." Those granted clemency included allies & donors. Those targeted in the "war on fraud" include Somali & other immigrants. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

@perrymetzger yet one of the few things we do know about AI is that it won't reliably do what we want - AND, unlike metallurgy, we have no easy way to conduct trial-and-error to work it out empirically (given that it costs 10^7-10^9 dollars to train a big model)

Nate's claim is a severe exaggeration, but it doesn't matter. For hundreds of years, people made sophisticated structures out of iron and steel and other metals without a detailed understanding why the things they built worked. They learned about the properties of metals, alloys, various heat treatment processes, and the like empirically, but that was sufficient. Only in the later 20th century did metallurgy finally have theory based on the underlying properties of the atoms involved. For most of the history of successful metallurgy, no one even knew what atoms were, but that was fine; empirical understanding was enough. Engineering does not depend on detailed knowledge of the underlying reason a system behaves as it does; it is sufficient, for good engineering, to know that something will reliably do what you want.
Nate Soares ⏹️@So8res

People don't program AIs. They program the machine that grows the AI. AI behavior is an emergent consequence of complex internal machinery that literally nobody understands.

@jonatanpallesen I assume you're joking with this, because I'm generous enough to grant that you're not retarded. It doesn't seem the same can be said of your followers, based on the replies.

@klarnic_debt For middle class dudes in the US, once you're "too old" for anime t-shirts and video games, the only options are "sports guy" and "style influencer" so you're just stuck with wearing ThinkGeek rejects over Costco basics when you're not wearing your Business Casual™ work clothes

Diner goth article sells itself short, the real story is that “aging out” of adolescent subcultures became a class marker sometime in the last twenty years

@jmasseypoet There are so many reasons that a conservative could cite for voting Trump - I might argue against them, but they are longstanding conservative positions and they aren't absurd on their face. The idea that Trump was ever "anti-war" in a meaningful way is... not one of them.

Friends (former friends) and family members questioned me when I publicly said I support Trump. One of the reasons I always gave was that he won't drag our country into war. I don't blame anyone for feeling betrayed and disgusted. Don't let anyone gaslight you. We were lied to.

@jmasseypoet I hate that we are at war but I don’t blame Pres Trump for it. He still is not a lover of war. He sincerely viewed/views Iran as a serious threat to the West & has said so for decades now. I suspect this war will be over by summer with no ground troops involved. Keep the faith.

@ProfBootyPhD Why though? What’s Trump getting out of this? It’s clear why Putin cucked him, but Trump is probably the only politician in America who can distance himself from Netanyahu and be rewarded for it.

The devotion to Great Leader is so strong that candidates in an election year are taking absolutely *suicidal* stances like "shut up and stop complaining about gas prices" Unbelievable how strong the MAGA cult of personality is
Igor Bobic@igorbobic

Minnesota GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again. Let's just try to be patriots about this"

They’re quick to offer you a lifetime of T-injections, but they never address the root cause of your decline. Chronic fatigue & stress are killing your testosterone. It’s time to fight back by refueling your system with high-potency Vitamin B12. 1.…twitter.com/i/web/status/2…
