Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder.

Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy, and a sign of the utter desperation and cowardice of those who could not defeat him in argument. Charlie Kirk has been killed not for espousing extremist views - because he didn't. He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain. The world has a shining new martyr to free speech. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

After Afghan Quake, Many Male Rescuers Helped Men but Not Women

After the earthquake in Afghanistan, "many male rescuers helped men but not women." The Taliban's "prohibition on contact between unrelated women and men meant many women’s wounds went untended and some were left trapped under rubble."

One of my first investigative documentary jobs was on a film that is airing tonight! Took a while to get it out there but I'm sure it'll be worth it. It was a huge job, and I worked closely with two private investigators.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

Opinion | What My Daughter Told ChatGPT Before She Took Her Life The medical profession has clear rules and responsibilities. What about the chatbots?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Sophie Rottenberg took her own life this year. Before doing so, she turned to ChatGPT for help. β€œA.I. catered to Sophie’s impulse to hide the worst,” writes her mother, Laura Reiley, "to pretend she was doing better than she was, to shield everyone from her full agony.”
