The historically Black college may be one of the few universities in the country, perhaps even the world, that has its own sovereign AI.

Sometimes it’s hard to watch Barack Obama just be himself because he is a living reminder of how Presidents are supposed to behave.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

“The review found that Harvard in 2005 admitted Mr. Epstein as a visiting fellow in the psychology department and readmitted him the following year. And the review concluded “it is likely” that Mr. Epstein visited Harvard more than 40 times after his release from jail, between 2010 and 2018.”

Disclosure: I have not read this article… But, not sure how a new diagnostic category improves risk detection.
Despite decades of research, it is still very difficult to know whether someone will try to die by suicide. Clinicians often rely on patients to disclose thoughts of self-harm, but some are lobbying for a new diagnosis called suicide crisis syndrome, or SCS, to better assess the risk.
