DHS Classifies Just 4% of ICE Arrests as β€œthe Worst”—Most for Nonviolent Offenses DHS’s β€œworst of the worst” data show an even lower percentage of β€œworst of the worst” offenders. It’s telling that even when DHS is tasked with finding the worst criminals, it finds a lower percentage...

This is infuriating
Since JANUARY
DHS...CLASSIFIES
ONLY 4% OF ICE ARRESTS ARE "The worst of the worst"

"But inΒ Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think."

Somehow, they made both Huxley and Orwell right.

TheΒ meatΒ industry is sabotaging one of modern medicine’s greatest miracles The US was making progress on its antibiotics-in-meatΒ problem. Now it’s backsliding.

The WHO calls antibiotic resistance "one of the top global public health and development threats".

In the meat industry they are used for prevention, not treatment.

For years they were cutting back, until last year.

Treat animals with care and you won't have to sacrifice us all for profit.

I shared the first part of this when it was posted 10 days ago. Please take just a few moments to read Part II. Eating disorders are ignored or not taken seriously far too much. This is close to home for me. Eating disorders are not uncommon among survivors of abuse.

A picture of Gov Ferguson’s declaration of a State of Emergency: Governor Ferguson statement on federal emergency assistance
SEATTLE - Governor Bob Ferguson offered the following statement on Washington's request for federal emergency assistance:
"I just received a phone call from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem informed me that the president signed our request for an emergency declaration. We have also received written confirmation of that emergency declaration. I expressed my thanks to Secretary Noem on behalf of the people of the State of Washington during this extremely challenging time. More details at our 2 p.m. media availability."

Some shit’s going down in western WA. We’re under water folks. Literally. Kristi Noem communicated with my governor that DJT signed the emergency declaration. The whiplash is real.

Professors are turning to this old-school method to stop AI use on exams A small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful AI platforms.

In a recent survey of college students by Inside Higher Ed, 85% said they had used AI in their courses for various reasons.

30% said colleges should design more AI-proof methods of assessment, including oral exams.

Oral exams also help improve your oratory skills.

It became clear, as soon as Kamala lost, he didn’t just sell out the Mavs to be in bed with Miriam Adelson for a casino in TX, he did it because he’s a closet republican & they’re politically aligned.

Yes. Trump is committing murder, killing unknown people in boats which were nowhere near the U.S.

Everyone, including #AdmiralFrankMitchellBradley, who ordered unknown, desperate, people in the ocean, killed.

#Bradley should hide his face in shame.

Slingshot News: Trump made the outlandish statement that 300 million people in the country died to illicit drugs last year. The US population was slightly above 340 million in 2024. If Trump was right, most of the country would be dead right now.

A $700 increase is a big jump.

Medical debt is the product of decades of dysfunctional health-care policy, a market-oriented insurance system & patchwork of safety net programs with unfilled gaps.

MAGA and MAHA are a farce.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.

What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It Mark Russo reported the dataset to all the right organizations, but still couldn't get into his accounts for months.

"To benchmark his tool, Russo used NudeNet, a publicly available dataset that’s cited in a number of academic papers about content moderation."

It contained images of children, so when he put it to his Google Drive, he lost access to all of his accounts.

Despite reporting this to everyone.
