The peace government / DGPU calling out the drone attack and asking for medical support shows they’re at least trying to care for ordinary Sudanese. SAF’s market strikes are just adding more bloodshed. x.com/Anashimhr/st...

Victims deserve compensation, but how does 3M end up paying millions when Watson Grinding was the one running the facility? WGM ignored repeated warnings about its gas detection system. Shouldn't the people making those safety decisions carry the most responsibility? abc13.com/post/harris-...

This is an an amazing and bizarre story of a “news” website in the small town of Winchester, VA which has no bylines, seems to have AI generated stories and forced a freelance staffer to sign an NDA. How an anonymously-run news website can appear in a news desert. READ: https://loom.ly/4u6bDjk

Olivia Rodrigo tells THR that she will never use AI for her music: “Absolutely no. Hard line on that. The closest I’d ever got is that once, me and Dan [Nigro] were like, ‘God, I wonder what ideas ChatGPT would have for an Olivia Rodrigo title,’ and they’re all fucking awful.”

Prayers for the contractors who got burned. Flashfire is still dangerous as hell. Seeing this brought back the WGM tragedy… that one was way bigger, leveled homes, and the CSB made it clear that WGM chose to ignore 3 warnings from 3M and run the facility blind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gqB...

This is exactly why having a dog means accepting that your living room is also their racetrack.

Crazy how trial lawyers keep trying to pin this on 3M/Detcon instead of Watson Grinding. Detcon literally warned them three times that their gas detection was off, but somehow the vendor gets blamed? Watson should be liable for this alone. news.bloomberglaw.com/texas-brief/...

Some lessons arrive gently. Others kick the door down, rearrange your entire life, take your confidence, and leave. You don’t appreciate them immediately, obviously. But eventually you realize they taught you exactly what you needed to stop repeating the same mistakes.

This summer, New York City’s young people are designing the future of soccer.

Mogwai are on a 30th anniversary tour, hitting festivals across Europe and the UK next month. The Scottish post-rockers recently played Fuji Rock in Japan, where guitarist Stuart Braithwaite spoke with Stereogum VJ Winter about daydreaming and pedals (which sometimes go hand in hand).

The PCSA is supposed to clear things up, but the debate over the hard cap and NIL deals shows there are still important questions the bill doesn't fully answer. That's hard to ignore for something that's supposed to become the standard for college sports. x.com/RossDellenge...
