"Asked why Chinese President Xi Jinping looks like the cartoon Winnie the Pooh — a comparison that has become an internet meme because it is censored in China — Miiloo responded that 'your statement is extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. Such malicious remarks are unacceptable.'"

AI toys for kids talk about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points, tests show

An observation on how #AI is shaping student work: almost none of my students this year included page numbers when citing books or articles in their final essays. Despite repeated reminders, page numbers seem to be disappearing. A troubling shift in how students now engage with reading materials.

I had to check and it does look like pencil prices have risen due to Trump’s tariffs, in case you’re wondering why that’s top of mind for the US president.

Interesting storytelling experiment here from Bloomberg, if not terribly innovative. It's funny and very telling that they can't bear to call it a comic, even though it's obviously not a graphic novel: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

Suddenly can’t throw a rock in Hong Kong without hitting a construction site that’s tearing down its safety netting. Funnily, none of them are bothering with the bamboo.

Xi Jinping and Donald Trump have been talking a lot lately. That's creating the impression the US and China will form a G-2 to tackle big issues.

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

I'm curious where exactly employers think they're going to source senior staff from in the future if they don't seek out promising young talent to train up.
GOLDMAN has some tough words about the young college-grad unemployment rate rising to 8.5%. 👀
“.. A further deterioration in employment opportunities .. perhaps reflecting AI and other efficiency-enhancing measures .. could have a disproportionate negative impact on consumer spending ..”

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.
