Is there a word for this? Analog tech confounding digital hi tech?
Old horsehair fishing nets from Brittany, once used to catch monkfish, are now shielding Ukraine’s frontlines from Russian drones. 280km of repurposed netting, sent by Kernic Solidarités, is being stretched across trenches and roads, forming traps that snare drones like flies in a web.

Posting is correlated with affective polarization:
😡 The most partisan users — those who love their party and despise the other — are more likely to post about politics
🥊 The result? A loud angry minority dominates online politics, which itself can drive polarization (see doi.org/10.1073/pnas...)

Are people wondering whether or not they should credit their AI-generated code or documents, even if a human has edited and modified it?

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.
ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.
Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
