It's real folks.

Enabling automatic transcription of child-centered audio recordings from real-world environments
Longform audio recordings obtained with microphones worn by children-also known as child-centered daylong recordings-have become a standard method for studying children's language experiences and their impact on subsequent language development. Transcripts of longform speech audio would enable rich analyses at various linguistic levels, yet the massive scale of typical longform corpora prohibits comprehensive manual annotation. At the same time, automatic speech recognition (ASR)-based transcri…

ALMA millimetre-wavelength imaging of HD 138965: New constraints on the debris dust composition and presence of planetary companions
HD 138965 is a young A type star and member of the nearby young Argus association. This star is surrounded by a broad, bright debris disc with two temperature components that was spatially resolved at far-infrared wavelengths by Herschel. Here we present ALMA millimetre-wavelength imaging of the cool outer belt. These reveal its radial extent to be $150^{+10}_{-7}$ au with a width ($σ$) of 49$^{+7}_{-6}$ au ($ΔR/R$ = 0.77), at a moderate inclination of 49$\fdeg$9^{+3.3}_{-3.7}$. Due to the li…

I think that events are showing us that we can anticipate that the only way FFOTUS will ever leave the White House is on a gurney. (Or, as his acolytes like to think, he ascends.)
The D-party is doing its best to self-destruct and assure that it does not win seats in the 2026 mid terms. And I seriously doubt that we will have a true election in 2028.

Steelers acquire Jonnu Smith from Dolphins: Why he helps Aaron Rodgers as do-it-all weapon

The Federal Trade Commission, last month, announced that it would approve the merger of two of the biggest ad agencies in the world
-- only if the parties agree to an unusual condition:
The merged company cannot refuse to place ads on websites for political reasons.
The move was a sharp break from its traditional practice.
The F.T.C. is usually focused on such concerns as consumer protection and monopoly power;
Now it’s trying to dictate where businesses adverti…

Opinion | Trump’s Campaign to Coerce Advertisers Into Backing Conservative Media
The administration seeks to coerce advertisers into using conservative media.

Why should the D-party agree to anything, and I mean *anything* that FFOTUS wants?

Senate heads home with no deal to advance President Trump’s nominees
The Senate is leaving Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees. The chamber is calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!” Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pres…
