YouTube video by Abroad in Japan What is Happening to Japan?

Abroad in Japan just released a really well done and important video about the absolute slop fest of misinformation about Japan that is harder and harder to navigate through these days, highly recommended.

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study The study, from MIT Lab scholars, measured the brain activity of subjects writing SAT essays with and without ChatGPT.

Research is showing that once you start using AI for any creative work you’re going to continually get stuck and keep using it until you’re unable to create anything. It erodes your ability to think.

My colleague laying it plain.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

I'm entering my "NO" era.

⚠️ Roughly 500 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles. It’s not clear when they would actually deploy to Los Angeles.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

This is bad

Deep cuts erode the foundations of US public health system, end progress, threaten worse to come Americans are losing an array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy.

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk's foray into politics accomplished.

Elon Musk is responsible for at least 300,000 deaths, a number that's steadily increasing, it doesn't include Ukrainian civilians murdered as a result of his attempt to protect the Russian navy when he disabled Starlink to sabotage a Ukrainian defence operation.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

a meme a rooftop covered in a massive amount of snow labelled "the OC lore contained within me at any given time" and someone on the bottom right corner of the rooftop starting to shovel a small clearing that's labelled "the OC lore I've publicly shared"

Trump cut a secret deal with the Mexican cartels, Mexican security chief Omar García Harfuch confirmed cartel family members entered US in a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump regime.

President Sheinbaum is demanding an explanation from the US which tried to keep it secret.

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.

Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

Me. I'm already over it. Give me winter

All hope is lost

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but can’t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

Park Service suspends air-quality monitoring at all national parks The Trump administration has paused but not canceled contracts for the monitoring program, which collects data on harmful air pollutants at 63 national parks.

The Trump administration has temporarily suspended an air-quality monitoring program at national parks across the country, according to an internal email obtained by The Post and two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Anonymous Operation DreadNought Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge's order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans. You lose again Donnie. A federal judge ruled on May 1, 2025, that the Trump administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798 to remove alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the country is unlawful. "The President cannot summarily declare that a foreign nation or government has threatened or perpetrated an invasion or predatory incursion of the United States, followed by the identification of the alien enemies subject to detention or removal. "The Proclamation makes no reference to and in no manner suggests that a threat exists of an organized, armed group of individuals entering the United States at the direction of Venezuela to conquer the country or assume control over a portion of the nation. Thus, the Proclamation's language cannot be read as describing conduct that falls within the meaning of 'invasion' for purposes of the AEA. "Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch's authority under the AEA, and would strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes to determine whether a government official has exceeded the statute's scope. The law does not support such a position." - Trump-appointed Federal U.S. District Judge Fernandez Rodriguez We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like.
