lots of 'bomb' vases about the place: at least one is a real Keith Murray and others are 'inspired by'. Very much my partner's department. I collect guitars

the bowl is I think Murrano and the fruit is resin or plastic, 1950s

Breaking news: Nearly a quarter of FBI agents across the country are currently reassigned to immigration enforcement.

The large number of reassignments reflect a vast reshaping of the agency and could put other priorities at risk.

Mask-off moment for book banners. Libs of TikTok posted breathlessly that New Braunfels ISD still has books in its library dealing with racism & LGBTQ themes. Christin Bentley, who’s behind most of Texas’s anti-book laws, posts that our new law, SB13,can be used to remove many of them.
Libs of TikTok tweet reading:

“SCOOP: @NewBraunfelsISD in Texas has an online database for books available for children in their school libraries.

In just ONE of their middle schools, there are over 40 "LGBTQ" themed books and over 80 books on "racism."

There are HUNDREDS of these books available across all the schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools.

Parents, do you know what your kids are reading?”

Christin Bentley tweet reading: 

“Many (if not most) of these are prohibited b Texas law to have in a school library because they contain indecent and profane content. 

When will @NewBraunfelsISD follow the law?

@teainfo #txlege”

Not only will AI grading be the end of teaching because of the labor dynamics Marc covers, but it kicks off a process of what I call "self-alienation" where the teachers gradually remove themselves from the essential human experiences of their own work.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

BREAKING: A man who burnt a Quran outside the Turkish Embassy in London has had his conviction for religiously motivated harassment, alarm, or distress overturned on appeal by Southwark Crown Court. A huge victory for free speech and a blow against the revival of blasphemy laws. 🧵
Victory on appeal: peaceful anti-religious protesting is not a crime.

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Nelson Alexander requiring tenants to use an AI chatbot to report urgent repairs. Reportedly this chatbot cannot differentiate between urgent and non-urgent repairs. Incredible.

Keep letting him incriminate himself. He wouldn’t be the first Trump lackey to end up in prison because he talks too much.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.
