Why are the serious conversations about what happens when gen AI goes wrong, and who is supposed to catch them when they do, sound more at home in a mountain resort filled with billionaires than in the professional gatherings of those responsible for educating children? medium.com/chalkdust-si...

Curiously, there was a memorial service held at the Capitol for ... Charlie Kirk.

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

A crafting store in Minnesota protests ICE by selling patterns they designed similar to red hats worn by Norwegians in the 40s to protest occupation by the Nazis. The proceeds go towards helping immigrants that can’t leave their home, already raising $650K. #ProudBlue youtube.com/shorts/SYET0...

If this Reggie Dinkins show being promoted doesn’t have Spice Adams in it I’m going to be seriously disappointed.

Playbook | White House sources have marveled at Susie Wiles ability to keep the team on message as they slander the widow and 6 year-old son of the murdered Renee Good.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work here: ice.0x0.boo It's a tracker for the number of blocks. They're averaging about 200/minute right now. 🤣

The Justice Dept still has the template on their website to discharge student loan debt through bankruptcy. It’s a fallacy you can’t do that. www.justice.gov/d9/2024-05/S...

Worried about a Chinese "take over" then this would not be the time to use a stick. A carrot would be much better here. Or just leaving this alone, and re-engage fully with our allies in NATO (or did he torch that bridge too much already).

Important and worth the watch. Good breakdown by the @nytimes.com. I used a gift link to share. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

“CSAM images Grok Created Fuel Outcry” There, fixed it.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Man, Trump really bus tossed the Nobel Peace Prize winning Maria Corina Machado. This sounds less “nation-building-ly” and more “plantation-ly”.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Man, Fox Sports is working overtime to convince everyone the Holiday Bowl between Arizona and SMU matters. Weeks of drip marketing but repetition does not create importance. When a game needs this much oxygen, it tells you exactly where it sits in the hierarchy.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

Seeing lots of people post clips from Sinatra in "The House I Live In" as a response to Stephen Miller being a racist about Sinatra. Just a random reminder that "The House I Live In" is in the public domain. Every once in a while it's good to remember the public domain is good...

Symbolic air strikes, whether in Syria or Nigeria, will not defeat ISIS. Many of Trump’s other actions, from cutting foreign aid to trying to eliminate online moderation, are actually undermining the struggle against ISIS and other terrorist groups. As i just wrote: wapo.st/4qrV8U5

Esports has argued that engagement with Saudi Arabia would lead to change. This year brought a record number of executions instead. Hope requires action. Start with one. Free Manahel al-Otaibi. I wrote this as a Christmas message to the #esports community. #humanrights medium.com/@ohagan/a-ch...

We are told there is no money for feeding students, followed immediately by a very detailed explanation of how to subsidize sweetheart football stadiums for billionaires. This shows our priorities as a society are hot garbage.

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium. 60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth. This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

The world of esports could have spoken out, leveraged their platform, heck, even just asked the Saudis to free one prisoner, but the money was too good, I guess. How’s that lie about playing in the Kingdom will start a dialogue and change sitting with you now? www.bbc.com/news/article...

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.
