Prosecutors in California used A.I. to argue that a 57-year-old man should be held without bail, his lawyers say, filing a brief that included wholesale misinterpretations of the law, as well as quotations that do not actually appear in the cited texts. nyti.ms/3M1bVye

The one issue DeSantis has consistently been really, truly good on is animal welfare. He ended the loophole that enabled Miami's former pit bull ban, strengthened laws against animal abusers, and now this. Otherwise, I loathe him, but for the animals he's been pretty good.

'Long-time coming': DeSantis asks Legislature to punish inhumane dog breeders • Florida Phoenix
Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed new penalties on certain dog breeders and animal abusers on Tuesday, hoping to pass more anti-animal cruelty legislation before his term is through.

Go vegan and bankrupt them all.
Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

So happy to see how fast the TypeScript library simple-data-analysis has become for tabular and geospatial data! 🤩
It's now processing data 6x-12x faster than traditional R and Python solutions in my little test in which I crunched a 1.7 GB CSV file.

Too bad, because the science shows that the #Florida bear population has declined in the past 10 years so allowing a hunt now would be absolutely disastrous.

one of RFK Jr.'s main beefs seem to be that people involved with medicine sometimes materially benefit from their findings, but when his friends sell things like mercury eye drops or chakra-blasting lead pills, they are simply asked to get off the Walmart PA system
