The US supreme court agreed on Friday to decide the legality of Donald Trump’s executive order to heavily restrict the right to birthright citizenship,
the long-held constitutional principle that individuals born on US soil are automatically United States citizens.
The order was a contentious part of the administration’s bigoted immigration crackdown
– and a step that would transform the interpretation of a 19th-century constitutional provision.

Computer scientists: The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human.
Reality: The Turing test is a test of a human's ability not to be fooled by themselves that a machine is mimicking a human.
(Because the test uses a human to decide if something else is a human, it essentially explores the gullibility limit of an individual human—and says nothing about machine intelligence.)

"The US will decide what is next for Venezuela" WTH? #Venezuela

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.
Try it out: #lifeLog #app #memoryAid

Some countries just don’t make sense to me, as I feel more connected to my community than to any nation.

you need to catch the 9:44, and if you hurry you can just make it, only, crap, forgot your keys, and to go back will take at least 5 minutes.
so you get the sched and historical records, and you find there is quite a bit of variation so you crunch the numbers and figure the odds are still reasonable it will be at least ten minutes late. You weigh your probabilities and decide to go.
Meanwhile I call a friend who is on that train and ask their estimate. I now have a better estimate? After my call, they ask a porter and get another even better estimate?
Meanwhile, 12km down the rails a protest has blocked a crossing, determined to hold that train at least until the police arrive.
Probability is a subjective measure of ignorance 😅
