Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? From brain-rotting videos to AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently …

Activists in London posted ads at bus stops throughout the city telling people to delete their X accounts because Musk continues to allow radical racists on the platform - to post whatever they want without repercussion - while at the same time rapidly deleting anti-Musk accounts.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Voter ID legislation enacted in NH. Requires married women whose birth certificate names aren’t the same as the names on their passport or drivers’ license to β€œprove” that they were lawfully married and lawfully changed their names before they can vote. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
