Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
Among dozens of companies competing for Pentagon contracts to supply attack drones, one stands out.
Powerus is flush with cash and ballooning in size as it buys up rivals and has one other advantage: It is partly owned by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons.
Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
One, they wanted the content.

Uno de los libros más extraños que tengo en mi biblioteca. "EL ENTE DILUCIDADO: Tratado de monstruos y fantasmas" fue escrito por Fray Antonio de Fuentelapeña, religioso del siglo XVII obsesionado con las materias más extravagantes que uno pueda imaginar... (+)
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

Lindsey Graham: "If we get in a fight, I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? 'Free Cuba.' Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We're marching through the world. We're clearing out the bad guys. Cuba is next."
The article also points to the corruption of the selection process for new NEH grants.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
It was such a great experience! 🥰
A blue merle Australian Shepherd with one blue eye and one brown eye sits on a chair and smiles for the camera.
It can be difficult to find things to smile about these days, but Maggie did her first therapy visit to a memory care unit this morning, and she was wonderful with the residents there. Watching their faces light up when they saw her really was wonderful.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Tenure protects faculty’s right to teach & students’ right to learn. It's integral to the pursuit of knowledge and research, and to free speech and expression. Scrapping tenure silences educators & stymies medical research. @AFT.org & @AAUP.org are fighting this www.oudaily.com/news/oklahom...
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
the US right is completely dedicated to the proposition that children are chattel.

NEW: the texas state Supreme Court just temporarily BLOCKED a lower court judges ruling extending polling hours in Dallas County. Any votes cast by people not in line by 7 PM will have their votes set aside pending the outcome of the litigation.
My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Disgusting.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran:
“Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”
I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:
“We will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.
for what it cost for our allies to shoot down three of our own planes by accident in a murderous illegal war we could have funded the NEH at 150% of its historic peak funding for a year
These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.
