I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to check the president. Lawmakers have punted on their duty since Donald Trump retook office.

Well. I can't remember the last time I liked a UK Eurovision entry, but this *gets* it in a way I thought we'd lost. Thunderingly British, including oodles of self-deprecation, and yet a love letter to the rest of the world, especially Europe. Brexiters will hate this.... youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8?...

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Really poor. Where are the goals supposed to come from? Games like this, you can just see the lack of attacking quality, especially in the central midfield.
I bet there are at least a couple players in the world who can throw as far as Ampadu and also move the ball.
Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

Nihilism is easy in life as it is in art.
It excuses one from trying and people tend to think it's more serious and artistic than pushing the boulder up, which is hard and frustrating and incremental.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I can't believe Howard Andrew Jones has been gone a year now.
I still weep for the loss.
