Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Trump is a traitor. Plain and simple. He supports Russia who is giving Iran intelligence against our military. Trump is absolutely detrimental to the future of the U.S.A. Fly your flags MAGAts.

What happens when you have quacks running health care?

You get disinformation, outbreaks and deaths

kevinrkirk 2d @ Threads Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5. (Drawing of chopping of part of land) suahuatica 2d MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.

Happy Friday. Don’t skip school.

NEW: The Trump administration told a judge that it can’t immediately comply with a court order to take key steps towards tariff refunds after SCOTUS struck down the president’s global levies. From Erik Larson:

Scientific datasets are riddled with copy-paste errors Initial results from scanning through Excel files belonging to 600 published scientific papers.

If you want to take your mind off awful politics and look at awful science stuff instead, this is a good read: www.sciencedetective.org/scientific-d...

"The software detected 18 cases in the first 600 datasets that were serious enough to report...based on that limited sample, around 3% of papers contain these types of errors."

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

AP: Trump says he’s replacing his Homeland Security Secretary Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin. Trump made the announcement on social media on Thursday, two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from GOP members as well as Democrats.

Well done, Arkansas.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s network What 1.4m emails reveal about America’s most notorious sex offender

The Epstein files contain 1.4m emails. Working with independent researchers, we have used AI tools to build a picture of the sex offender’s network. Register for free to read the first such analysis of its kind www.economist.com/interactive/...

DODJT is disappearing many of the trump/epstein files while we are talking war. That tells me there are many people in his cabinet that are afraid they will go down with trump if the truth comes out. They are now fighting for their own freedom as well as trump's. We need those files NOW.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Trump wants to distract from the failing economy, ICE murders, and his corruption scandals

Netanyahu wants to distract from the Gaza genocide, West Bank settler attacks, and his own corruption scandals.

Both are using the same playbook: wage war to blot out everything else.

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Nah.

And about the five years ahead: yeah, that’s what happens if you just got tenure. Many opportunities ahead. Good luck!!

Or MeCN, I must confess

Or actually Acetonitrile, as I usually do?

Wilders:

"Kon ik die debatten maar skippen",
"Waarom moet ik dan naar die stomme debatten?" en
"Verzin een smoes dat ik niet hoef te gaan", citeerde de Volkskrant.

Hij zei in de appjes ook dat hij zich "niet oké" voelt, maar bang is om "als lafaard" gezien te worden als hij afzegt.

Tsja

😂

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that.

Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv
