An outstanding, comprehensive rebuke of AI mania in K-12 by @winterjessica.bsky.social that rounds out by highlighting the growing coalition of parents, educators, and other concerned humans that is working fast and hard to tamp it down.

In case you missed it -- good morning!

The AI cults are going to get worse, and likely merge with the Christian evangelical movement at some point.

I get the funny feeling the Supreme Court is not eager to take up President Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx...

None of this would be happening right now if Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

RFKJr is a babbling, groaning, utterly-devoid-of-a-brain fuckhead.

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy? RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology. Hell of a lady.

While brushing my teeth I realized who loves AI. It's Peter. It is the supervisor who doesn't know how to do anything & doesn't want to admit it or bother learning something new. He can take delegation to the next level get rid of the staff soaking up the payroll. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_p...

That's why every election for the foreseeable future must be driven by massive turnout to make it too big to rig. Happened a couple of weeks ago in Hungary and nobody thinks the opposition was not trying to cheat. Hell everybody from Russia, the US GOP including CPAC were trying their best.

Is social media dying? How much did Twitter change as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation? Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has changed Here are the key take-aways 🧵 Full paper out now in in JQD:DM!

I'd say this is a lie, but you'd have to have a IQ for it to be a lie. And you don't. This is just Jew Hatred thinly disguised. Take it someplace else.

These losers do this all the time in Washington too. People from rural counties that have, like, eight people and fifty cows in them complaining about being "ruled from Seattle." I don't know what to tell you, bud! 52% of the state's population lives in the Seattle metro! That's democracy.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

God, I hope the average Californian is smart enough to find Steyer sus. He has spent hundreds of millions of his own money in his quest for power - and that begs the question "WHY". If it was just altruism, he would just be spending his billions helping people. No, he wants power.

Best ONN in months at least.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Today's free newsletter is about four signs that the AI bubble is bursting: Anthropic's services and economics are decaying, AI demand is inflated, more than 50% of data centers under construction are for two companies, and NVIDIA is warehousing $150bn+ of GPUs. www.wheresyoured.at/four-horseme...

Dems have tried to convince the GOP to federally mandate independent commissions but they didn’t want to give up all of their gerrymandered states. They laughed as Dems used independent commissions while they stole votes. Maybe this is what it takes to get them to approve fair voting nationwide,

Yes, we know. We've been screaming about this for years. People who refuse to wear respirators in public spaces are fully on board with this eugenics platform. Eventually, health vulnerability comes for all of us. Many are born with it.

My Dear Patients. I will never do anything to “clean you up”. 😱

some good color over the Goldfield Mountains here in Apache Junction, Arizona Tuesday night☁️🌵⛰️

Dear #MedSky I visited an elderly relative in hospital last night. She was drowsy, and wearing a surgical mask… a flimsy defence against… STAFF Yes. Unmasked staff. If you see a mask, please wear a respie! If you don’t see a mask, wear a respie anyway! It’s the professional thing to do.

Last year, the flu vaccine saved 12,000 lives and prevented over 100,000 hospitalizations according to the CDC.

Heartwarming to see Colbert and @neildegrassetyson.com modeling the latest in Jiffy Pop headwear.

This is for you, Donald. youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs?...

One "side" forced a member of their party with credible allegations against him to resign. The other put a felon in the White House. ... Stop telling me that "both sides are the same"

It’s quite a thing to see the “progressive” left rally behind the billionaire who has never held public office instead of the son of immigrants who grew up w 3 sisters in a 1 bdrm apt & has dedicated 35 years to fighting for the people. Brb, looking up the definition of “oligarchy” & “fighter”…

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

“iCloud storage is full” scam is back, and now it wants your payment details www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20... US Consumer Affairs has urged users not to click any links and to contact Apple directly if they receive such messages.

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Its funny, Jeffries talk like this and they still get mad. "We want a fighter." That's a lie. You have personal issues with the man. Just say so and stop lying for clout. Charmin people bother me.

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems. "A major U.S. cohort study suggests long COVID in children may reach far beyond lingering symptoms, affecting how they learn, focus, and connect with friends at school."

Currently reading two PNW mountain-related books. Both are worth reading if you're into this stuff. Of Men and Mountains is written by William O. Douglas who apparently was the longest serving U.S. Supreme Court justice ever. He writes of his boyhood […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via @archive.org I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection. blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u...

Tried ads on Reddit, didn’t get much in the way of results, got an email from a salesperson written in ChatGPT style full of “it’s not X, it’s Y,” absolute hard pass, never giving them a cent

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk
