Thousands of Palestinians began the long, dusty walk from the south of Gaza toward Gaza City after a ceasefire came into effect in the enclave on Friday. They found their city lying in ruins – yet were relieved to be returning home.

Mike Johnson says rejecting kings is “hating America.” So, apparently, loyalty to the crown is patriotism now.

Child-Rapist Trump is putting everything behind Maga Mafia Bozo.
You must get out and Vote for Mikie Sherrill. Sherrill served on active duty in the United States Navy for nine years, the final five in the rank of lieutenant. She's a Helicopter Pilot and true American. Don't let them fool you.

Trump thanking Putin for trashing the Nobel Prize: nothing says “Make America Great” like promoting an autocrat’s propaganda, teaming up to delegitimize democracy, and showing once again how comfortable he is echoing Moscow’s line.

AI. Is. Not. INTELLIGENT. It does not know when an argument is good or bad, when a premiss is true or false. That's not what it's set up for. Using it to grade is a travesty.

Also, if you want to reduce bias, just grade your papers blind.

John Warner @biblioracle.bsky.social · 9h

I strongly urge everyone to not just read this warning from @marcwatkins.bsky.social, but heed it, and be vocal and forceful pushing back against using AI to grade student writing. This must be anathema if we're going to have a world where learning means something. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Q: Are you at all considering repealing either the tanker ban or the emissions cap?

PM Carney: It depends... We want to see lower carbon conventional energy, lower carbon mining, lower carbon manufacturing, because that is going to be a driver of competitiveness.

That feeling when the Governor signs your bill allowing more homes near public transit & you then walk from your 39-unit apartment building to get on the subway.

Imagine Watergate and the Saturday night massacre combined but instead the media ran cover for it. That's what this is.

Alt text: Screenshot of a CNN Politics article headline reading “Lindsey Halligan didn’t coordinate NY AG Letitia James indictment with Pam Bondi’s DOJ.” The byline lists authors Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins, Evan Perez, and Hannah Rabinowitz. The article was updated 1 hour and 55 minutes ago and is labeled as a 2-minute read.
