My “don’t worry about China, it will all be fine” shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

And even if you want to adopt the cynical analysis, it makes perfect sense: Hamas getting Barghouti freed makes the current leadership of Fatah look like chumps.

People who act confused by Hamas' desire to free Barghoti are bizarre to me, Hamas wants him out even though he isn't Hamas affiliated because they believe he is one of the few, or maybe even the only, individuals who can unite the whole of Palestinian factions under the PLO

I think Zohran is great and inspiring and much needed right now, but all he's doing is like the job as it's supposed to be. Starts with a set of principles and advocates for them. It's like how everyone goes crazy for Chotiner for just doing the job. Not an indictment on either of them but the rest.

“Some 1,500 police and sheriff's departments were flying drones by late 2024 — a 150% jump since 2018…”

AI drones are America's newest cops

AI-powered drones can do some police work — but using them raises new questions about surveillance and privacy.

cops waited outside for an hour at the scene of Melissa Hortman’s assassination so they could send in a drone www.startribune.com/new-details-...

3:35 a.m., two Brooklyn Park police officers arrived at the Hortman residence. Those officers fired at Boelter as he entered the house after shooting Mark Hortman. Additional muzzle flashes from Boelter inside the home lit up the entryway.

Despite the gunfire, officers didn’t enter the house until 4:38 a.m., according to timestamps on the bodycam footage. Instead of entering the home immediately to check on Melissa Hortman, the officers waited for a drone to be deployed to see if Boelter was inside and if Melissa Hortman was still alive.

A source familiar with the drone footage said Hortman is shown immobile and curled up on the landing at the top of the stairs.

At 4:42 a.m., Melissa Hortman was taken out of the house and brought to an ambulance.
