I hate the argument that AI is being used in lots of jobs so students have to learn how to use it in school. AI is not that hard to use. Lots of jobs also use job-specific convoluted enterprise software and we don't teach them how to use those in school.

ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I've been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

Jubilee pitch: “Julius Caesar vs 20 Roman Senators”

Coach intervened as Trump’s Gestapo showed up in NYC… at a kids baseball practice 😳

Thanks, grok!

'Anti-government militia' says it’s targeting Oklahoma weather radars An “anti-government militia” called ‘Veterans on Patrol’ told News 9 on Tuesday that it is “targeting” Oklahoma weather radars, days after an individual vandalized News 9’s weather radar.

an anti government militia in my home state is going around dismantling Doppler radars because they think they're secret government directed energy weapons, come tornado season this is going to kill people

Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show: • Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. • Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. Key takeaway box below reads: “Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.” Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

best F1 news day since Hamiltion to Ferrari.

Anyone concerned that America will quietly succumb to fascism should look at what's happening in LA. This whole thread is wonderful

If the United States decides to declare war on its own people, so be it. They can't defeat an insurgency overseas and they can't defeat one here

It's not a machine gun it's something just as stupid...a sniper overwatch position on a random Monday in MacArthur Park because...idk...they have shoot on sight orders for that motherfucker who left the cake out in the rain.

if young voters turned out like they did for Zohran Mamdani for every race, the Democratic Party would never lose an election again

so naturally, establishment Dems are…smearing him and refusing to endorse?

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Millennials (30-44) are crushing it yet again. Gen X (45-54) can get wrecked yet again.

Jesus Christ I am begging Gen X to stop trying to ruin this country. Electing Trump was embarrassing enough, you poseurs.

Well, I, for one, am glad that unlike in all previous wars of choice this time, we finally have a clear end goal, an exit strategy and meaningful Congressional oversight to make sure our elected leaders don't do some crazy shit

It’s going to take generations to undo the harm of this administration’s first 152 days.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

Yep - I feel even worse for her. Killed because she was pregnant & baby not even his. I know it won't get done with Trump in office, but the next AG needs to take a serious look at MA cops.

I think the whistle blower is right on the nose. That whole group of people (including the original invesigator) tried to cover their tracks and failed. Well...I guess they didn't fail because they were never investigated. I hope she sues

The jury did the right thing - Not Guilty. Crooked ass cops.

Peak Mansplaining 😬

It's crazy how Iran has, according to Israel, been weeks away from building a nuke since the mid 90s but never finished. Almost like Israel is just lying its ass off to find another bullshit reason to bomb more people indiscriminately

What is this judge doing - the jury doesn't understand dont "it's a theoretical question and I can't answer them." It's a bullshit cop out. This judge is the absolute worst.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Major props to those teachers who keep going during summer never losing a beat. I am not one of those. I need my break and to turn off my brain...at least for a few weeks.

I agree. If it ends in another mistrial that judge needs to recuse herself if prosecution goes over it again

I don't understand how they're still deliberating. Like there's enough reasonable doubt...this should be easy.

It’s probably worth noting one of the things written on this gun is also tattooed on the SecDef’s arm.

Just when I think he can't get more vindictive...he does. And instead of seeing a problem with it, his followers dig in deeper.
