I warned you 👉🏼💥Katie Phang:

NEW: has now moved for a mistrial.

Todd Blanche: We move for a mistrial based on the testimony this morning, the guardrails were thrown aside, that testimony was so unduly prejudicial to Trump and the charges in this case and the testimony about the incident in 2006 is way different from the stories she was pedaling in 2016,

Q: If they know who an “authentic user” is, why don’t they simply not show ads to them?

A: They knowingly show ads to users who aren’t “authentic” thereby willfully defrauding the advertisers.

@thomasfuchs assuming a user who is not “authentic” is a bot? I thought he was going to crush all those bots?

Rich kids are more likely to get into an Ivy League school than middle-class kids with the exact same test scores. Here's a big reason why.

I don't know... rather than ban their policies, don't patronize them. If smart kids go to other schools, maybe the staff will follow and other (often cheaper) colleges can benefit.

Had some fun browsing our local bookstore today. How many witch based young adult romance novels can there be? And I also found where Halllmark channel gets all their ideas.

Finally, ChatGPT for dummies. Because of course it t exists.

A book display with 7 or 8 young adult novels all with a witchy theme. the cover art is catchy and well done for each

Democrats are united against elevating someone like Jim Jordan to House Speaker. What would it say about the GOP if they put such a man as the head of their party and second in line to the presidency? Democrats don’t believe that men who covered up sexual abuse and tried to overturn the 2020 election should be anywhere near the reins of power. This shouldn’t even be close, but here we are.

Beware the Prosperity Gospel of Tech Twitter.

This whole system is algorithmically designed to make you feel bad about yourself and your progress. Measure only against your previous self.

Don’t worry about people’s cars or houses, focus on you, then send the ladder back down.

Avoid transactional networking. Trust people who want to help you and ask for nothing in return. The millionaire next door is not posting their rented supercar pics on social, they are quietly helping others.

@shanselman "transactional networking" - love it!
One bit I loved about doing learning events is seeing others learn and grow. Really satisfying being able to help someone solve a problem or make a connection. It usually involved my learning something new as well... that excitement is contagious!

Sinead O’Connor - On Raglan Road

I just remembered this, and recall being absolutely haunted by it when I first heard it back in the mid-90s. I didn’t realise it was a traditional folk tune then, and have subsequently heard a number of versions, none of which come anywhere near Sinead’s.

Gizmodo bosses desperate for that sweet AI content used ChatGPT to make a lame SEO-bait Star Wars ranking that ended up being wrong, making everyone mad and getting a pitiful amount of traffic - 12,000 views, and probably mostly hateclicks. Great story by @pranshuverma
