10 90s shows that made TV feel like an event: Remember planning your week around

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (13 reads)

10 90s shows that made tv feel like an event: remember planning your week around these? Before on-demand viewing changed everything about how we collectively experience out favorite tv shows, here are some of the special shows we planned our weeks around (and bought on vhs and dvd, if possible) robin raven creator • follow updated sep 4, 2026 updated fri, september 4, 2026 at 12:02 am utc 19 min read helen hunt as jamie buchman, paul reiser as paul buchman, and maui, a rescued border collie mix, as the buchman family dog murray. (Press photo courtesy of nbcuniversal) remember appointment tv when we had to be home at a certain time to see a favorite show? Television has undeniably changed in nearly every way since the 1990s. Instead of making it a point to be home and recording our favorite series on vhs tapes to enjoy later, we can stream any show at any time of the day or night. Its fantastic and quite convenient, but somehow something was lost in the transition. the tv shows themselves are filmed and presented differently now, too. There are fewer episodes per season by far for most shows, and with so many options, its rare for a show to get the volume of viewers that shows got even with cable offering dozens of stations. so, if you grew up in the 1990s like me, its hard to avoid feeling nostalgic for a different time and for shows that were done with so much heart back then. These are the 90s shows that set the bar so high that weve never forgotten how it felt to watch them. mad about you (1992) i always loved mad about you even though i would get upset during almost every episode when its main characters didnt treat each other as well as i wanted them to. I felt that sometimes the show went too far in its pursuit of realism within an idyllic sitcom. Overall, though, it was charming and romantic, and i always looked forward to the next episode. advertisement advertisement advertisement advertisement mad about you is about a married couple, paul buchman (paul reiser) and jamie buchman (helen hunt), as they navigate their everyday lives in new york city. There is significant growth for both characters over time as the show follows them from when they are newlyweds through parenting their first child. Its widely considered to be one of the most honest shows about what marriage is really like. jamie is a public relations specialist, and paul is a documentary filmmaker. Their hollywood-adjacent careers left the door open for some amazing guest stars to appear on the show. Mel brooks and jerry lewis were just some of its famous guest stars. Lisa kudrow had a recurring role on the show as the waitress ursula buffay, who was the twin sister of her friends character phoebe buffay, and there was a very memorable crossover between the two shows. murray, the buchmans beloved dog, was played by a rescue dog named maui who was twice voted the most popular dog on tv by readers of tv guide . He stole a lot of the scenes he was in and seemed like the perfect companion for paul and jamie. in 2019, the buchmans returned for a memorable 12-episode mad about you revival/sequel premiered on spectrum originals. It was simply called mad about you like the original show. Paul reiser and helen hunt returned to their roles at a time when jamie and paul were empty nesters, and the show centers around their relationship as they deal with their daughter mabel being a young adult and leaving for college. It was very well done and true to the spirit of the original. road to avonlea (1990) if you werent watching cbc in canada or the disney channel in the united states, you may have unfortunately missed road to avonlea , which was known simply as avonlea in the us. My sister and i were glued to our tv sets every monday night at 7 p.M. To watch this one as we were growing up. It actually served as a sequel to the wildly popular 1980s miniseries anne of green gables and anne of avonlea starring megan follows and jonathan crombie . Although follows never appeared in road to avonlea , many other actors from the miniseries continued their roles on the show. advertisement advertisement road to avonlea was based on a mix of books by lucy maud montgomery including the story girl and chronicles of avonlea . Sarah polley starred in the show as sara stanley, a child who goes to stay with her deceased mothers relatives on prince edward island after her father finds himself in legal trouble. It also centered on saras aunt hetty king (jackie burroughs), aunt olivia king (mag ruffman) uncle alec king (cedric smith) aunt janet king (lally cadeau), cousin felicity king (gema zamprogna) cousin felix king (zachary bennett), and cousin cecily king (harmony cramp). the first season shows how sara stanley has a rough start to her stay in avonlea. Her cousin felicity is jealous, and she forms an alliance of sorts with her cousin andrew who is also new to town. Then she ultimately bonds with her cousins, aunts, and uncles, and the show is heartwarming and fun to watch. This 90s series is still so beloved that theres even a road to avonlea reunion happening this summer on prince edward island. its worth noting, however, that sarah polley pulled back the curtain on what life was like to work on the show in her powerful book run towards the danger , and her experiences on set were largely uncomfortable. She described an environment where children could be berated and how one child actor was even fired. Harmony cramp, the child actress who played cecily king, was replaced halfway through the show, but the departure of the actress was never officially explained. Its unclear whether she wanted to leave the show since she retired from acting after her last episodes of road to avonlea . when speaking of the show, polley also told the new yorker , as i get older, im more reluctant to denigrate the show, because i feel like it was one of those shows that parents and kids watched together; it was an important escape for a lot of people. But i do think theres something problematic about it, especially given what we know about the history of this country. Our airwaves have been saturated with pictures of this idyllic canadian history, and it just hides so many horrible things. living single (1993) if youve seen living single , you know how special this show was. Created by yvette lee bowser, the show was truly ahead of its time and influenced shows from friends to insecure . Lee bowser was only 27 years old and was the first black woman to develop her own primetime tv show. She had worked on shows like a different world , the cosby show , and hangin with mr. Cooper . The writer and producer pulled from her own life to create the stories on the show, and its often credited with inspiring a lot of the female-forward buddy shows that came later. advertisement advertisement living single was on the air for five seasons, from 1993 to 1998. It centered around the lives of six friends who were in their twenties and living in apartments within a brownstone in prospect heights in the brooklyn borough of new york city. Khadijah james (queen latifah) was the editor-in-chief and owner of a magazine called flavor. Her cousin and roommate, synclaire james (kim coles), worked as a secretary at flavor while pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Regine hunter (kim fields) was the third roommate with her heart in fashion. Maxine shaw (erika alexander) was khadijahs best friend and a sharp-tongued public defender. Kyle barker (t.C. Carson) was a stockbroker on wall street. Overton wakefield jones (john henton) was kyles roommate, a handyman, and co-owner of the apartment complex. over the years, many have pointed out the similarities between living single and friends . Both tv series followed a group of six single friends, with two being related to each other. They also both showed the characters struggles with dating, careers, and how to do life while in their late twenties or early thirties. Both shows also had a primary apartment where the friend group would gather, and they lived in different apartments in the same building. Living single started a year before friends . David crane and marta kauffman, who created friends, said they wanted to show the time period in young adult life when your friends are really your family. They said it was based on their own experiences in new york. its theorized that nbc may have given friends the green light because of the success of living single . On the late late show with james gorden , after gorden brought up friends , queen latifah said warren littlefield, the then-president of nbc, was asked what show he regretted passing on , and he said living single . Then, the next thing they knew, there was friends . She went on to praise what a great show friends was. the bradys (1990) the bradys was nicknamed bradysomething since it was a drama about the cast members who were then in their thirties like the then-very-popular thirtysomething . It ran for only six episodes on cbs, and im still mad that it was not given a fair chance to find its audience. Despite the comparisons, it was truly a unique show with its own style. Unlike the original the brady bunch tv show and its previous sequels, this was a drama instead of a comedy, and it put the beloved brady characters in very difficult stories. I mean, bobby brady was left paralyzed in the first episode, and marcia brady struggled with alcoholism. Things got dark. advertisement advertisement i turned 11 years old right before this show originally aired, and i found it to be a bit overwhelming because the other brady sequels had been my happy place. I loved it, though. Since the original show was lighthearted with any small problem solved within an episode, this show was an extreme creative departure from what audiences had come to expect from the near-perfect world of the brady family. However, the creative risk paid off, and it really works. robert reed was a classically trained, serious actor who never wanted to be in a sitcom, so he brings a lot of power to the now-dramatic mike brady. Jerry houser returned as wally logan. He always has a captivating presence on screen, and he brought such heart and humanity to the role. His sensitive portrayal of wally as the character copes with his wife marcias alcoholism, including a heartbreaking scene when marcia almost drove drunk with their kids in the car, is unforgettable. Did i mention this show was not afraid to go to some very dark places? robert reed passed away only two years after the show aired, so this was the final sequel to the brady bunch . He is still very missed, and the cast universally sings his praises when discussing this show in the press and on podcasts. i think were well overdue for a new sequel. Id love a 2026 sequel that follows wally and marcia and their growing family since id imagine their kids jessica and mickey (yes, named after mike brady) might have kids of their own now. Id love the brady bunch to return to its comedic roots and follow their new adventures. How can we make this happen? beverly hills, 90210 (1990) with a fandom that had a passion and persistence that was often compared to how fans of the beatles were decades earlier, beverly hills 90210 is one of the most loved and well-remembered shows of the 1990s. The first season focused on teen twins brenda (shannen doherty) and brandon (jason priestley) as they adjusted to beverly hills after growing up in the midwest. Their parents, jim walsh (james eckhouse) and cindy walsh (carol potter), were also a big part of the early seasons. advertisement advertisement beverly hills 90210 also was a show about their friend group including brendas best friend kelly taylor (jennie garth), dylan mccay (luke perry), donna martin (tori spelling), andrea zuckerman (gabrielle carteris), steve sanders (ian ziering), and david silver (brian austin green). beverly hills 90210 is remembered for the idyllic depiction of beverly hills. It showed the glamour and fun of being a privileged teen in the 1990s. It also shows the darkness thats underneath the picture-perfect appearance of the characters. It dealt with very serious issues that teens everywhere face and that most shows with teens had never addressed before. Storylines on beverly hills 90210 addressed issues like teen pregnancy, shoplifting, eating disorders, addiction, self-harm, and much more. Conversations about these things just werent being had in primetime on network television, so it led to some significant changes in how teen characters are depicted and treated in tv shows. They were treated like whole, complex people. luke perry died suddenly and unexpectedly from a stroke in 2019, and shannen doherty tragically died after a long struggle with breast cancer in 2024. The romance between their characters brenda and dylan was the early heart of the show, and they are very much missed by fans. melrose place was a popular spinoff of beverly hills 90210 , with the character kelly taylor appearing in the shows first episodes. A cw reboot of the show called 90210 aired from 2008 to 2013, and some of the original cast members appeared in the show. Then, in 2019, there was a meta-revival bh90210 in which many of the original cast members played exaggerated, heightened versions of themselves. Shannen doherty appeared in some episodes after luke perry died while they were making the show, and she wanted to honor his memory. the hidden room (1991) heres a hidden gem you may not have heard of, but if you did watch the hidden room on the lifetime cable network when it aired from 1991 to 1993, you probably remember it fondly like i do. Like classic shows such as the twilight zone and alfred hitchcock presents , the hidden room was a drama-horror anthology series that had a new story with different characters every week. advertisement advertisement each episode featured a woman who was experiencing a great hardship, and each story proceeded to have a dark twist. Sarah polley played amanda donohoes teen daughter in the premiere episode. Stars who had their own episode include mayim bialik, melissa gilbert, tess harper, daphne zuniga, helen mirren, stephanie zimbalist, and ally sheedy. the first season of the hidden room featured a host (mimi kuzyk), but she wasnt in the second season. When the first season episodes were repeated on lifetime, the scenes with the host were edited out. Only 33 episodes of the show were made, and the show is unfortunately not currently available for streaming. friends (1994) it would be impossible to leave friends off a list of beloved 1990s shows. It remains so popular that its consistently among the most streamed shows out there. Among its famous fans are malala yousafzai, taylor swift, selena gomez, charlie puth, and david beckham. Friends inspires so much adoration because it is genuinely hilarious with smart writing, and the connections among the characters feel real and authentic, perhaps in part because the cast members were close in real life. according to co-creator marta kauffman, friends is about that special time in life when your friends are your family. She told women in entertainment that, when creating the show, she was thinking about what it was like for her and her group of friends when they moved to new york and were looking for love and careers. The main characters were phoebe buffay (lisa kudrow), rachel green (jennifer aniston), monica geller (courteney cox), ross geller (david schwimmer), chandler bing (matthew perry), and joey tribbiani (matt leblanc). advertisement advertisement friends is about six characters who love and support each other while they are dealing with life in their twenties and thirties. Most of the friends live in the same new york city apartment building, with all of them living there at some point. The show had a way of making each audience member feel as though they belonged in the friend group, too. No show since has managed to replicate that particular warmth the characters all had with each other. my so-called life (1994) my so-called life was a definitive show of the 1990s although it only lasted nineteen episodes that spanned just one season. Time included it as one of the 100 best tv shows of all-time. It originally aired on abc, but it gained a large, very devoted following when reruns of the show aired on mtv starting in 1995. It was one of the first authentic teen dramas and was widely credited with influencing later shows like freaks and geeks and dawsons creek . claire danes portrayed the 15-year-old heroine of the show, angela chase, who was allowed to be a teenage girl with a deep interior life that was messy and honest. The show also launched the career of jared leto who portrayed jordan catalano, angelas crush. Graham chase (tom irwin) and patricia patty chase (bess armstrong) were angelas parents. She had a little sister dianielle portrayed by lisa wilhoit. Enrique rickie vasquez (wilson cruz), brian krakow (devon gummersall), rayanne graff (a. J. Langer), and sharon cherski (devon odessa) were angelas friends. my so-called life is no doubt a modern classic. When marking the shows 30th anniversary in 2024, claire danes told people , i was exactly angelas age, maybe even a slight bit younger, but i dont think i had ever read a more accurate account of the experience that i was having at that moment. I was just so thrilled to have my internal life articulated for me. Its just an astonishing piece of writing, and i dont quite know how [series creator] winnie [holzman] did that, how she time traveled as thoroughly as she did, and reentered her 14-year-old self, or some version of that. family matters (1989) sometimes you just want to watch a show that makes you laugh and feel good. Family matters was one of the quintessential family comedies of the 1990s. Yes, it began in 1989, but most of its run was in the 1990s. The winslow family remains one of american televisions great families, and this show was consistently underestimated. advertisement advertisement steve urkel (jaleel white) became a cultural phenomenon, and that sometimes overshadowed the fact that the show around him was hilarious and worth more attention. The winslow family consisted of harriette winslow (jo marie payton), carl winslow (reginald veljohnson), estelle winslow (rosetta lenoire), laura winslow (kellie shanygne williams), eddie winslow (darius mccrary), and judy winslow (jaimee foxworth). many people dont know that family matters was actually a spin-off of the sitcom perfect strangers . Before family matters , harriette winslow appeared in the third and fourth seasons of perfect strangers . in the pilot, little judy winslow was played by valerie jones, but she was played by jaimee foxworth in every other episode the character appeared in. One quirk of the show that fans couldnt miss is that judy winslow mysteriously disappeared from the show during its fourth season, and nothing was said on the show about the youngest winslow family member ever again. From that point on, the show was written as though the only winslow kids were laura and eddie. the producers of family matters never gave an official explanation for why the character was written out. However, when jaleel white was asked about the situation when appeared on a radio show called the breakfast club , he said that a variety of factors went into the decision but that he mostly blames jaimee foxworths mother. He ultimately went on to say that the production team felt the character was unnecessary for stories on the show so they wrote the character out. advertisement advertisement family matters is mostly remembered for its big heart and the big laughs it gave viewers. Of course steve urkel as a character is still a household name so thats saying a lot! He still is a part of pop culture. When jamie lee curtis appeared on the late show with stephen colbert , she said the only celebrity autograph she ever requested was from jaleel white, who as mentioned above played steve urkel. full house (1987) yes, full house started in 1987, but its cultural dominance belongs to the 90s. While the sitcom was largely overlooked and dismissed by critics, it found a very devoted audience and was a big hit. It was consistently in the nielsen top 30 shows after the second season. the show centered on danny tanner (bob saget) who was raising three daughters: dj (candace cameron), stephanie (jodie sweetin), and michelle (mary-kate olsen and ashley olsen). He does this with the help of his brother-in-law jesse katsopolis (john stamos) and best friend joey gladstone (dave coulier). Jesses girlfriend rebecca donaldson (lori loughlin) was also a central character who became his wife in the fourth season. mary-kate and ashley olsen were only babies when they started their careers on full house and became huge child stars with a manager who had them starring in music videos for kids, tv movies, and direct-to-video movies that were in high demand. On full house, they shared the role of michelle, with both twins appearing in a few episodes as double characters. catch phrases were a memorable part of this show. You may remember: stephanie tanner: how rude! michelle tanner: you got it, dude! And youre in big trouble, mister! dj tanner: oh, mylanta! jesse katsopolis: have mercy! joey gladstone: cut it out! full house was a sitcom that leaned to the silly side in all the best ways, and it was a delightful show that made a profound impact on generations of kids. It handled the death of the girls mother pam with sensitivity, and it showed the genuine connections between all members of the family throughout the show. Problems were solved with loving discussions, and it showed many examples of unconditional love. With joey, it also showed how friends can very much be family. the tanner house felt like somewhere viewers truly wanted to be. It was so popular decades later that its sequel show, fuller house , was one of netflixs biggest hits. New episodes were shown on netflix from 2016 to 2020. The entire original cast appeared in some episodes, but the show mostly centered around dj, stephanie, and kimmy. Dj is widowed this time, and stephanie and kimmy move in to help raise her three boys. It was a cute show, and my sister and i even like it better than the original. looking back finally, the 1990s gave us so much great television that it would be impossible to include all the shows that made that such a special time for tv history. These are just ten of the special shows that hold strong in the memory of many who grew up in the 90s and enjoyed escaping into these fictitious worlds for some comfort and joy when life got complicated. thank you for reading.

Depot After Dark: Rooney Athletic Center In Maryland, Steelers At Youngstown Sta

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (14 reads)

A steelers depot daily segment. A quick hit of some pittsburgh steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys. your depot after dark for sept. 3. rooney athletic center in maryland the steelers and baltimore ravens have one of the nfl’s best rivalries. While the ravens are still a relatively young nfl franchise, they established themselves quickly. Baltimore and pittsburgh often battle for afc north supremacy, with both teams always aiming to compete for a super bowl. however, the steelers still have a presence in ravens country. The baltimore sun shared on twitter that mount st. Mary’s university recently broke ground on the rooney athletic performance center. The rooneys have owned the steelers since their inception, and members of the family gave mount st. Mary’s $6 million a few years ago. Maybe that will help create more steelers fans in maryland. steelers at youngstown state this year’s draft was important for the steelers for multiple reasons. Not only did they have a lot of picks, but they also hosted the event. It went great, with all 10 of their draft picks making the team’s initial 53-man roster. That’s a credit to the work their front office did in the scouting process. that group’s work is almost never done, either. Nfl teams have to start scouting early. That includes the steelers, who recently had a presence at youngstown state, as the team posted on twitter. Youngstown state isn’t the biggest program in college football, but it could still produce nfl talent. former scout on tomlin mike tomlin shocked many when he stepped down as the steelers’ head coach this offseason. He held that job for almost 20 years, but he felt like it was time to walk away. While tomlin had some issues near the end of his tenure in pittsburgh, he still inspired many. that includes former steelers scout dave petett. Petett was with pittsburgh for 20 years, but he parted ways with the team in 2024. He recently appeared on stillriver deep dive’s youtube channel, and he shared the best piece of advice that tomlin gave him, that being to get comfortable being uncomfortable. That was one of tomlin’s favorite phrases, and they’re good words to live by.

Bombshell report on UNC football investigation include concerning details around

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (11 reads)

The college football season has arrived, but a few off-field stories have captivated the sports world. While multiple lawsuits involving college football player eligibility continue to unfold, an investigation surrounding the unc tar heels football program has also come to light. on thursday, a major turn of events occurred when unc football general manager michael lombardi resigned. Hours later, a report detailed the concerning allegations surrounding the investigation. wral reported that the investigation prompting lombardi’s resignation includes alleged sexual misconduct and drug use involving key members of the staff. This is a concerning development for a team that just secured a major week 0 victory to start its season. more: sec officially files lawsuit against lsu, lane kiffin in federal court “lawyers hired to conduct the investigation are also questioning people about whether defensive coordinator steve belichick used drugs on the job or provided drugs to at least one player — and, separately, about whether a member of unc’s recruiting staff had a sexual relationship with a player, people familiar with the investigation told wral. The lawyers also asked about possible sexual relationships between assistant coaches and recruiting staff, the people said.” Wral reported. dec 12, 2024; chapel hill, nc, usa; north carolina tar heels general manager michael lombardi during the bill belichick hiring announcement at loudermilk center for excellence. Mandatory credit: jim dedmon-imagn images credit: usa today sports via reuters connect (reuters) more to the investigation than meets the eye? One piece of speculation surrounding the situation is that unc may have wanted to fire lombardi without paying his buyout. However, his buyout is only $1.5 million, which is relatively reasonable for a division i program. lombardi’s attorney, tom mars, told the athletic that he believes the investigation goes beyond simply finding cause to terminate his client. “if unc had grounds to fire michael for cause, they wouldn’t need to conduct such a far-ranging, lengthy witch hunt. They would have done so by now. I think the motive behind the investigation goes further than a $1.5 million buyout. After all, unc could fire michael (or the athletic director of any head coach) for no reason at all just by paying their buyout. In today’s world, $1.5 million is just a drop in the bucket, so there must be other reasons behind this multimillion-dollar investigation.” Mars told the athletic. more: deion sanders effect helps georgia tech football reach achievement for first time in 20 years that reason could involve head coach bill belichick.

WVU researcher says AI should disclose what it doesnt know

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (12 reads)

Community bulletin twin oaks home sales is now renting newly set-up manufactured homes at its meadowlands community near buckhannon — a quiet country setting close to town and schools. Good credit and references required; no homes are currently for sale at meadowlands. Read more ? this story brought to you paywall-free, courtesy of the my buckhannon team and our community partners like humans, generative artificial intelligence doesn’t always know when it’s wrong, and a west virginia university researcher is trying to get ai agents like chatgpt to recognize — and admit — when that happens. with more than $940,000 in national science foundation support, computer scientist anthony sicilia is examining why ai can become increasingly unreliable over the course of conversations with human users. artificial intelligence is already notorious for its tendency to “hallucinate,” or manufacture facts, but sicilia is more interested in the technology’s tendency to be a people pleaser: appearing confident about information that is tenuous or accepting inaccuracies that a user provides. an assistant professor in the wvu benjamin m. Statler college of engineering and mineral resources, sicilia said that when a user questions an ai system’s responses, the ai often can’t figure out whether it made a mistake, the user is uncertain or the conversation has shifted to a new objective. “we’re interested in how misinformation develops over long conversations between an ai and a user,” he explained. “Those can become really messy in terms of reliability when the user starts providing information or context in addition to asking questions. When a user makes a suggestion, it can completely change the model’s confidence in an answer, even if the model was right to begin with.” sicilia sees ai’s “false confidence” as a particular problem for high-stakes fields like healthcare. “one of the most concerning things about today’s ai systems is that they make mistakes in a very overconfident, trustworthy way,” he said. “they speak fluently. They justify their answers. They use the tools of persuasion and rhetoric to convince you that they know what they’re talking about. Misinformation becomes a bigger problem when you have a system that can eloquently defend a point of view or an argument. That’s the crux of the problem we’re trying to solve — having ai systems be better at telling us when they’re not confident in an answer or don’t have the evidence to justify it.” according to sicilia, when users push back on accurate information, an ai system often defers and agrees in what’s referred to as “ai sycophancy.” “it can happen in just three turns of the conversation,” he said. “The model proposes an answer that’s correct. The user says, ‘well, i don’t think so.’ And the ai responds, ‘you’re totally right.’” users often fail to flag the logical flaws, he added, because the ai lacks the tells or signals that reveal when a human is lying or unsure. sicilia noted that humans often hypothesize their way through uncertainty, throwing out ideas to gauge whether they work. But the subtleties of that approach are lost on ai. “we’re not cognitive scientists or linguists, but we try to pull as much from those disciplines as possible in our research about intelligence and reasoning,” he said. “One thing we think about is ‘theory of mind,’ or the understanding that each person has their own thoughts and feelings that may differ from our own. “when you and i are having a conversation, theory of mind is what allows you to think about what i’m thinking about so you can best express what you want me to understand or get me to do what you need. That’s a big part of this research — the ability of ai systems to model what we’re thinking about while they’re working with us so they can be better collaborative partners because it’s not just about the ai system’s uncertainty, but about the user’s uncertainty as well. Conversationally, pushing back and questioning an answer is part of how humans learn and gain certainty,” sicilia said. he will scrutinize coding conversations between ai systems and novice programmers to measure the systems’ confidence calibration, evolving uncertainty and the dialogue strategies the systems and humans employ. rather than treating ai confidence as static, he’ll study how conversational events like user disagreement, user suggestions and shifts in topic alter a model’s confidence. sicilia’s goal is for an ai system to identify where uncertainty is coming from, tell a user why it doesn’t know an answer or ask questions if a user provides information that seems incorrect. He said he wants to understand when confidence statements such as “i am 90% confident” are helpful to users, and when responses like “i am not sure” or “can you clarify what you mean?” Are better. “one of the lenses i take to this research is from linguistics,” he said. “Ai systems are increasingly language-based systems, so i look at conversations with them and think about the science of language. Humans use language to communicate, and ai systems are adopting that practice with varying degrees of effectiveness. “when a system involves interactions with humans, that introduces a whole new variable. Our approach is a departure from current theories of the way machines learn, and we’re going to be collecting a lot of data to analyze how people who are not experts in a topic are using ai systems for that topic.” in addition to relying on the public for research data, sicilia will also create public-facing workshops and educational materials that teach students and workers how to identify unreliable ai answers, verify ai-generated code and avoid ai overreliance. wvu doctoral students voke brume and louai al jabi are contributing to the research, along with undergraduate student kaushika wijerathne. Malihe alikhani of northeastern university is co-principal investigator. “despite how impressive ai systems have become, the public needs to understand that they are still imperfect tools — and that they can be wrong, sometimes in surprising ways,” sicilia said. “That’s why we’re creating ai systems that respond appropriately when they lack evidence and communicate their uncertainty more honestly.”

Wipe their loans, send them to invade Iran: Israeli paper floats scheme for inde

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (11 reads)

A column published in an israeli newspaper has suggested that the us should forgive the loans of young americans if they agree to join an invasion of iran, with the author arguing that a us war against iran cannot be won through aerial bombardment alone, but would require occupying or controlling the country, necessitating the mobilisation of up to 1.5 million troops. the shocking proposal to use young indebted americans as cannon fodder against iran was suggested by aj jaff, a retired officer of the canadian armed forces in an opinion piece published by jerusalem post. in his arguments, jaff says that months of intensive us attacks had not collapsed iran’s military capacity or ended the war, and that a ground invasion would require far more american troops than current strength. recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of iran would require. Estimates for a successful ground campaign against irans 31 provincial commands and its mosaic defense doctrine run between 750,000 and 1.5 million american troops. The current active us army stands at roughly 452 thousand. The math does not work, obviously, writes the author. jaff argues us history suggests a viable path forward: recruitment via a debt-forgiveness programme rather than traditional wartime conscription. the average american aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40,000 in non-mortgage debt across student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates go as high as $100,000, he writes, adding, this is the cohort the pentagon needs. a federally administered debt-forgiveness enlistment programme that fully discharges student loan, credit card, and loan balances after 24 or 36 months of service, and extends the gi bill, would produce voluntary enlistment at scale, the columnist argues. outlandish suggestion about 77 per cent of americans have some form of debt. This translates to roughly 250 million to 260 million individuals facing various types of financial liabilities, contributing to a historic total us household debt of $18.8 trillion. Us adults held an average debt of $63,500. jaff cites us precedents to such recruitment schemes, noting that the second world war introduced the gi bill, whilst the vietnam war offered college deferments. the post 9/11 wars offered signing bonuses and citizenship pathways. The iran war will need to offer debt relief. The economics of the indebted american 20-and 30-something make this the most efficient conversion mechanism available to the pentagon and the trump administration, the author stresses. he calls the scheme morally uncomfortable but also describes it as the pentagon and the trump administrations most efficient conversion mechanism, arguing that countries recruit by tailoring incentives to their specific populations. jaffs piece framed the chilling scheme as one of three non-kinetic options for washington to defeat iran alongside us congressional recognition of iranian minority independence and an agreement with china over iranian oil. the article has generated widespread criticism, with many dismissing the proposals as flawed from a us perspective, others questioning the authors competence, and some arguing that israel seeks to fight iran until the last american. news outlets such as the blaze framed the proposal as an immodest or cynical exploitation of american indebtedness. It called jaffs plan as an outlandish suggestion to send debt-strapped young americans to the front lines. the mises institute entitled its note the jerusalem post calls for more americans to enlist – to die for israel, characterising the piece as an israeli news outlet calling on us taxpayers to subsidise another war.

Gloria Steinem Taught Me to Be Angry. We Need to Stay Angry

Posted on Friday, September 04 @ 00:04:18 PDT (11 reads)

Gloria steinem died this week. And i, a feminist living in iowa, a state where my rights are swiftly eroding, feel like i lost something so vital. We all did. i grew up in a home where feminism was an ugly word. My parents homeschooled eight children in texas in the eighties and nineties, reading us the bible every morning at breakfast and at night before bed. All five of us girls were taught to cook, clean, care for babies, and sew, trying to keep us safe from what they saw as the evils of a liberal world. Feminists, my mom told us, looked down on women like her — stay-at-home moms who dedicated their lives to their children. i didn’t know who gloria steinem was until i got to college. And college was something i had to claw and scratch my way into. Enduring weeks of fights about how i was abandoning family and faith. My parents told me i could attend college only if i participated in a camp called worldview academy, which is designed to teach a “biblical worldview.” I went to the camp, where i was taught that the brontes hated men and all my professors would be atheist. Two things that proved to be completely untrue, much to my disappointment. in college, i spent hours in the library reading books like naomi wolf’s the beauty myth , cathi hanauer’s bitch in the house, and copies of ms. Magazine . In those magazines, i read steinem’s essay “in praise of women’s bodies,” a treatise that combines the personal and political and serves as a reminder that our bodies are not ever the problem, it’s the culture that makes them the problem. And her classic, “if men could menstruate” which, with humor, flips the world upside down, and shows just how absolutely absurd the lived reality of every woman’s life was and still is. It’s funny. It’s intimate. It’s enough to radicalize even the most jean jumpered homeschooler. But even more, in “patricia nixon flying” i saw a portrayal of a woman who was spoken of and admired in the home i grew up in. And she was not being mocked and dismissed, as i had been assured feminists would, but she was being probed and understood, held up to a gentle light and seen, with an empathy, that nixon herself hadn’t given to all americans. in those essays, i found a forbidden knowledge. And there, like eve in that cursed garden, i found what i needed: a language for an anger that would consume me when i learned about my sister’s sexual assault and a knowledge that would help me survive my own at 21. I found a framework for survival through the articulation of what had been done to me and what would be done to me. And with it, i would write my own narrative. with my illicit information the world began to break open, and me along with it. I know why that knowledge was kept from me, because when i got it, i got mad. Very mad. Mad at the opportunities that had been withheld. The dreams i’d been told not to dream. And with that anger, i turned into a feminist. I am now a 43-year-old single woman who owns her own home. I have benefitted from no-fault divorce and the right to take out a mortgage without a male co-signer and have my own line of credit. I have an iud. I stock plan b in my home and hand it out at festivals and have some on-hand for my daughter and her friends should it become necessary. And for three years, after the fall of roe , i ran my local abortion fund in iowa, helping to pay for abortions in a state where access is severely restricted. Did i mention, i make my own money? each one of those things is something that steinem and so many others fought for and each one is a right that this administration is fiercely trying to roll back. Often at the forefront of these fights are women themselves, who have benefitted from feminism themselves and are now not only pulling up the ladder behind them, but breaking it into pieces, fashioning it into shanks and trying to stab anyone who comes behind them. for steinem to die at this moment, when women’s rights are being rolled back and people in power are talking about revoking the 19th amendment feels particularly dire. everything that saved my life, access to abortion care, birth control, and a job that supports myself and my children are under threat. These things saved steinem’s life too and so many others. The voices of the women we have today are because steinem and second wave feminists fought for those rights. everything i know about feminism, i’ve fought to learn myself. Reading books by betty friedan, susan flaudi, ellen willis, bell hooks, and so many more. A few years ago, i even signed up for an online graduate course on feminist writing and literature, just so i could know what i didn’t know. And the more i learn, the angrier i become. Because i see how every news cycle we are in now, every fight for liberation, every argument for autonomy, isn’t new — it’s a recycled chew toy that keeps us always chasing our tail, never getting anywhere. even now, the women’s movement is hardly taught in schools. In iowa schools, my children have learned the basics of the revolutionary war, the war of 1812, civil rights, and the bay of pigs in school, but have yet to learn about second wave feminism. When feminism is taught, the curriculum often focuses on the in-fighting and the factionism, as if it was more contentious than any other movement. Even gloria steinem’s obituary in the new york times had more on the controversies of her life than dick cheney’s did, and she was never accused of war crimes. steinem, many of the tributes to her caveat, was not perfect. A true statement, but one that pisses me off, because no one is perfect. So why is it a caveat that we hold for feminist leaders? feminism isn’t more contentious or flawed than any other movement or political party. It’s just that women are more scrutinized, criticized, mocked and derided as a way to cut down the power of their voices and the movement. As feminist writer moira donegan observed on x , “feminism, as a movement for women’s liberation, is subjected to the same kind of moral standards that women themselves are — which is to say, often unreasonable and unattainable ones.” women, especially feminists, are mocked and derided for the same reason that the knowledge about feminism is withheld. Because it keeps our freedom out of our reach. it’s been decades since second wave feminists began consciousness-raising groups that sought to help women discuss their lives together, so they could see that they were not alone. That what they faced wasn’t their fault, but a product of a system that was designed to oppress them. So much has changed, and yet, so much is the same. steinem often said she should not have been the face of the movement. The movement needed many faces and the work of her life proved that. She worked to lift up the voices of each successive generation, mentoring younger women, encouraging them in their work. She knew it would take so many voices to scream in succession and to keep screaming in varied ways to shore up these rights, so hard won, and still yet endangered with steinem dying as women are being forced out of the workforce, states roll back the right to an abortion, and the heritage foundation proposes ways to force women to have children, it does feel as though an old world is passing. As the false, but much-attributed antonio gramsci quote laments, “the old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” usually, with this quote, people point out that the monsters are coming and that is something to fear. But feminists are often depicted as monsters. Steinem was always the exception, because she was thin and pretty — a fact even her times obit pointed out. But if in this era of backlash we are to be depicted as monsters once again, perhaps in this new world it is time to become monstrous in pursuit of our rights and freedom. after all, i’ve been where they’re telling us to go. I was born in that place they call an eden and i am telling you, out here, it is way better. We cannot go back. and we need all of our voices, discordant and imperfect and monstrous as they are, to make sure it cannot happen.
