The U.S. soy market problem is going to cause massive problems with corn in coming years, as soy is rotated in the same fields with corn to keep corn rootworm populations low.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

A reporter at that notorious leftist rag, The Economist. 👇🏼

Plot twist

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

"Contrarian" is killing me, the whole premise of the Free Press is telling rich elderly and middle-aged men that they're right about everything

EdTech funding drops again in early 2025. Fewer deals, but bigger bets $410M in Global EdTech VC funding with fewer deals, larger checks, and new regional momentum hint at where investment is heading next.

There is a whole micro-industry in edtech market valuation that aims to support investors to price their investments - and humongous figures like the $8t conjured up by big financial orgs surely help prop up edtech markets even when markets look bad www.holoniq.com/notes/edtech...

Asserting false binaries is essentially cheating at rhetoric, especially in short-form mediums. It's so effective because nobody has time to debate the shape of what's actually in question, not just the answers.

PubMed is in trouble

Just complete authoritarianism.

Why anyone would buy an Apple phone after this is beyond me, where the government can control what you are allowed to have on it?

Musk is now up to nine posts/reposts about SPLC in the past two hours or so.

Unlike what SPLC does in publishing reports about present-day Klansmen and Nazis, wrongly accusing them of causing someone’s murder to an audience of brainwashed idiots very much is incitement to violence.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

oh wow
a lot of military & vets I know rely on these groceries & the discounts they get

An insane abuse of power
