you can't be a good publication if you have mostly brilliant writers but also some hypervisible reactionary bullshitters just for balance.

"I know several teens, including my own college-age kid, who are vehemently AI. They choose not to use AI for environmental reasons, for ethical reasons, for creative reasons, or just because they want to use their own thinking. What do we tell those students? Do we have to force them to use AI?

Roses are red
Measles is back
Your “personal choice”
Is a public attack

Roses are red
Measles is hot
“Just my decision”
Oh hell no, it’s not

Roses are red
Measles will spread
Your “health freedom”
Won’t raise kids from the dead

In the past year, Trump has promised...
-$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend"
-$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend"
-$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies

So far, no checks have materialized.

Trump’s Magically Disappearing Stimulus Checks
I was promised cheaper groceries and tariff rebates and all I got was this lousy pogrom.

Deleted this because I thought I was making a joke and didn't realize this is the title of an actual show now.

Reality TV is not my thing.

"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me
👀 Jared Kushner... Redacted?
The president's son-in-law is at the center of a huge new scandal. Plus: the Trump administration's war on the climate and the Pakistani government's war on Imran Khan's health.

"The shootings and the chains and the concentration camps are not simply the transient tools but the very altars of modern dictatorships. They may talk of a 'new order' in the world, but what they have in mind is... an unholy alliance of power and pelf"—FDR, 1940

I discussed new Arizona ESA data with Arizona 12 News’ Craig Harris. 20% of transactions deemed unallowable.

Imagine letting public schools spend taxpayer dollars with this little oversight or auditing. We wouldn’t. Release the data, and let the public see what it’s funding.
Voucher supporters say Empowerment Scholarship fraud is 1%. New records peg misspending closer to 20%.
12News obtained Education Department records showing that one in five ESA purchases—such as cellphones, TVs, and diamond rings—were on the "unallowable" list.
