Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government.
They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.
I grew up watching the world end in Blockbuster movies. Now AI might do it for real, and I'd like to know who's in charge.

If you are an Elon Musk fanboy to this date, I have a theory. My theory is that you do not know the difference between a CEO, an Engineer, and a Scientist in the most fundamental manner.
I've recently learned that a certain "Halo effect" happens with people like Mr. Musk, whom always reminds me of a MAGA version of David, the synth from the Alien franchise. Mister Fassbender earns my respect with his masterclass performance, btw.
Cornell, Harvard, celebrity, CEO, judge, lawyer, w/e, and I do respect the work it took, but tell me how you treat people with less power, how you own harm you cause, and how you live your values when nobody is watching, because credentials can signal expertise but character shows in how you live.
Like, we don't legally protect scams and fraud, but if you rebrand your scam as an "opinion" online, suddenly everyone's a constitutional scholar, facts and truth need a comeback... 🥴 this timeline is so weird...
The fact that someone as uncharismatic as Trump is somehow running the biggest cult in American history is honestly just a devastating self-own by his followers. I’ll just stop there
#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using.
When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate
The alpha movement entire pitch is that you will become the exception but all of these goofballs look visually interchangeable and sound almost identical, all of them.
Am I missing something?
Mark Carney in Thunder Bay on Lutnick: "I don't think, with all respect, appointed unelected cabinet members in the United States are experts on Canadian politics"
Is it crazy to post on social media that we need to spend less time talking to each other on social media?
I do my share of doomscrolling.
But what I've learned during my lifetime is that democracy requires having difficult conversations — and having our ideas challenged.
Somewhere along the way I stopped writing out of duty and started writing because I enjoy it.
Which is strange, because I used to complain about every paper, every report, every time someone made me write something.
EXCLUSIVE: Sens. Alex Padilla and Mark Warner are demanding answers from prediction market giants Kalshi and Polymarket over their payments to influencers accused of spreading election disinformation.
Here’s what the Senators uncovered:
A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center.
ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad.
Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.
REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:
•Has his job
•Gets paid, and
•Gets free world-class healthcare
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets
all three as he needs it most.😐
If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone.
The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀
Dolly Parton...
-Gifted millions of free books to kids
-Ensured musicians she worked with got union benefits
-Helped fund medical research, including the COVID vaccine
-Donated millions to communities hit by natural disasters
-Quietly funded high school band programs
We lost an incredible person.
NYC car rental businesses to see if they were clearly disclosing their prices and posting refund policies as our laws require — and that was the result.
Renting a car shouldn't trap you in a maze of hidden fees and shady policies.
Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country.
Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high.
Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record.
Noticing a pattern?
Made pepper steak tonight without realizing I was making pepper steak. I read the recipe, did every step, and only realized what it was when I tasted it. Is this old age?
