The RNG says that @alexcansmile has a reason to smile right now! Alex, please DM me your mailing address so I can pass it to @vixy for mailing purposes.

I roll up to the 7-11. They sell me a giant Slurpee in a huge single-use plastic cup, with a plastic lid. All around me are products in single-use plastic.

They give me a paper straw. "For the environment." It's unusable before my Slurpee is half gone. They charge me a quarter.
Reducing our plastic waste is an important goal. I recognize and understand that. But when disabled people are telling you plastic straws are necessary for full, unjudged participation in society, maybe listen, instead of going "nope, ban the straws and pollution is solved."
Also: when I was a teenager living on my mother's welfare, scraping together the change for a Slurpee once a month was often my one good treat. Charging me more for the ability to drink it without wearing it? Would have taken that treat away.

Are you looking for good YA with solid feminist themes and a realistic assortment of well-realized characters? Well, I have a book for you.
REBEL GIRLS, by @badcoverversion, is set in 1992, at a Catholic high school where a vicious rumor is circulating that a member of the pro-life club had a secret abortion over the summer--an expelling offense according to school rules.
What follows is a story of trying to live up to Riot Grrrl ideals, even when defending someone whose opinions don't match your own, mixed with the pains of friendship, high school politics, and staying true to yourself.

It's one thing to casually accept that your house has a ghost. Whatever, lots of houses have ghosts.

It's another thing altogether to actually SEE the damn thing.
It's very hot right now, and we don't have air conditioning, so I was sleeping on the air mattress in the purple room downstairs, aka, "the sound-proofed sex dungeon".
(For those of you who've missed the history of my house, before I bought it, it was a questionable private elder care facility upstairs, private BDSM club downstairs. I've found porn that was filmed in what is now my sister's room.)

PDP: We just want to let the world know that Inec has teamed up with the FG and it's failed party Apc to deny us our mandate that was freely given to us by Nigerians by saying they don't have server anymore which they once admit they had.

Guys, I’m beginning to think Biden isn’t a liberal.
He’s contradicting Lyndon Johnson, without having the courage to say so.
“freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please.…

Chicago Fed @ChicagoFed conference papers dropped. Going to be a long day.

federalreserve.gov/conferences/co…
@ChicagoFed First up, review of current #monpol framework (federalreserve.gov/conferences/fi…)

Key conclusion: @federalreserve should guide rate cuts soon and more aggressively since guidance policy has a bigger effect on economy today.
@ChicagoFed @federalreserve Second paper on the agenda (as mentioned by @jeannasmialek federalreserve.gov/conferences/fi…) titled "Maximum Employment"

Key takeaway: u-rate doesn't measure labor market tightness; recommend a new metric. Basically this is the Fed's LMCI come again (actually, come around a third time).

THREAD: USING AI TO WIN NUMBER GUESSING GAME

(But really just using logistic regression)

I recently learned about Thomas Cover's game from @fermatslibrary & really liked it! Its a great example for learning about games, probability, ML & RL. Lets use ML to "beat" the game.
Consider Mark and Sally playing a 2-person random number guessing game.

Mark picks two numbers and keeps them hidden from Sally. Sally randomly selects one of the numbers.
Now Sally has to decide if the number NOT shown is bigger than the revealed number. If she guesses right, she wins. Otherwise, she loses.
