The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

I really wonder how places that had widespread easy legal bookmaker access for decades (England, Ireland) compare the US where gambling has now corrupted whole institutions.
Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story.

For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards.

Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Trump won Louisiana by 22 points in 2024; currently, a La Dem. Senate candidate is trailing just 4 points behind his GOP opponent.

I did a quick writeup on some of what was shown in the poll and talked to a La pollster about the reason for the small gap.

I'd be a lot more open to Huang's line of argument if I saw any evidence that people are becoming better systems thinkers. But I don't think that's happening; quite the opposite, actually. Learn your damn multiplication tables, kids, it matters.
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”

Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

The BP oil spill (I live in Louisiana) reinforced to me that we're so happy when cos. use tech to do new things that we don't make them account for contingencies, and it's really backward.

If they didn't know how to cap a spill, they shouldn't drill, and if AI makers can't control it, shelve it!

AI is the Gyges' ring of student work: it offers perfect concealment of wrongdoing.

If Glaucon is right, then everyone will use it to do injustice (cheat), & will be wise to do so.

If Socrates/Plato is right, then doing so also harms the wrong-doer, whose soul will be malformed into misery by it.

I think you had to be very online at a time when most people weren't to know that the bush administration was comically evil to the extent that it was, but for those of you who weren't: trust us! these were stupid evil people, not so different from the current ones!
lol at all the people who've been going "Why isn't Dubya speaking out about Trump??"

When things cool down, they seek a lower-energy, lower-entropy state. For example water vapor will condense into little droplets of mist when you cool it. Physicists have taken this concept of "condensation" and generalized the heck out of it.

Let's look at a few examples.
can you please tell me what condensation is in physics?
