Shouts to our Austin FC family for helping make last night happen. I'm so grateful for our soccer community. I hope this is the last time this banner has to be raised 🙏

We are the 5th community to raise this banner, created by Austin supporters after Uvalde. We're united with all those communities in mourning for all tof those we've lost - and in the outrage that this banner will surely be needed again.

The back of the End Gun Violence banner where teams have signed to mark its deployment.

And a hand-written letter that reads:

To our Minnesota United family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for the unfathomable cruelty your community—your children—has faced. This has to stop.
We are with you. Sending love & healing.
♡
Los Verdes

"AI systems themselves will likely become more expressive and personalized over time, potentially reducing the current AI voice problem. And the deepest risk of all, as Naaman pointed to, is not linguistic uniformity but losing conscious control over our own thinking and expression."

You sound like ChatGPT

AI isn’t just impacting how we write — it’s changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more to come.

Catching up on Dynamite and between Hanger and Brody, unconditional support for our LGBTQIA+ wrestlers, staff, crew, and fans during Pride Month and every month, and celebrating Juneteenth, I've never been more confident I picked the right team to play for and I'm glad that they will have me.

His comments here about how cochlear implants have helped him hear but made listening to music unenjoyable are what hold me back from considering one. I hope it never comes to that. It’s hard to imagine losing such a source of joy.

During his graduation speech, NYU student Logan Rozos condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the U.S. role in funding it. The university responded by withholding his diploma, calling his remarks “one-sided” and accusing him of “abusing a privilege.”
