This, the tech CEO that needs AI to name three special things about her own child … one, why does anyone admit they’re letting AI make them clueless? Two, why are they letting AI make them clueless?
Podcast host and wife of Stephen Miller, Katie Miller, says she leans on her car's self-driving software so much that she's lost the knack for doing it herself.

To make fun of adolescents taking part in a skills development program takes a special kind of horribleness in a person.
This is a picture of two women from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, which holds summer programming for 12-18 year olds to develop skills on the way to adulthood. Unlike Secretary Hegseth, they do not deserve contempt or ridicule.

This is appalling in so many ways.
Linda McMahon on successful uses of AI in classrooms: "The first couple hours every day students really have on headphones, they're in front of their computers, they're getting their subjects fed to them...the beauty of that is the student almost has a one-on-one tutor...I have seen it work so well"

"Cross’ employees ultimately got paid with university funds for the rest of the week after the cancellation. Eventually they lost their jobs altogether. Two suffered anxiety attacks that landed them in the emergency room. Several no longer work in education." www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

People who write headlines like this really need to go outdoors, outside of cities more often. I go to a number of places where not only do I not have WiFi, I don’t have a cell connection. apple.news/Ax3DUVVc4R2m...

This is horrifying. We’re fully back in J. Edgar Hoover territory
Legal documents released today show federal law enforcement officials extensively surveilled public meetings and activists during the ICE surge, and created dossiers on political enemies. I've been busy, but will post some takeaways on this thread soon: (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Researchers at the Statens Serum Institut in Denmark have conducted multiple landmark, population-wide studies tracking hundreds of thousands to over 1.2 million children using national health registries to examine potential links between vaccines and autism. Every major study found no connection.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

The Senate HELP committee passed a bill that would block the Trump administration from transferring many functions (including postsecondary education) out of the Department of Education, but would allow student loans to be transferred to Treasury.
