U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship
The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

Biotech investor set to lead US National Science Foundation
If confirmed by the US Senate, Jim O'Neill would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead the agency, a big funder of US basic research.
O'Neill, an investor in anti-aging technology who worked on HHS policy, would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead NSF. His background will be a 'major concern' to the science and technology community, former NSF director Neal Lane told me.

When I first saw this lizard, I thought it was a western fence lizard, but upon further inspection, I realized it must be a southern sagebrush lizard. The scale size and pattern were slightly different. Now that I’ve identified the lizard, can you #FindThatLizard?

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Holy crap.
Just such a naked example of how only Dems are thought to have agency.
The GOP majority gets its way on a party-line vote, and @theguardian.com uses SCHUMER’S picture.
No one even knows what Thune—THE GUY IN CHARGE OF THE SENATE—looks like.
Appalling choice, Guardian. Reprehensible.

god help me and fuck Chuck Schumer, but it's genuinely bullshit that Schumer is the key image here. it was a party line vote, with Schumer voting against. only Dem that broke ranks was Fetterman, of course.

The minority leader of the house has pretty much zero power. He should introduce articles of impeachment for the optics and morality of it though

There's a fundamental attribution error here: does AI actually "do" research? It's an automated pattern-recognition, algorithm-drivem machine learning tool. It can't think, and anything it produces resembling "research" is in spite of, rather than because of, the way it's constructed.

Screenshot of the same image posted on twotter on August 8, 2025, by the @sciencegirl/@gunsnrosesgirl3 content farmer account
Shared by someone with “No Gen AI” in her bio, who’s blocking people who point it out. Someone a *lot* of you apparently follow.
And oh hey, look where the pic on the left seems to have originated, per reverse image search - only one of the most obnoxious content thieves of twitter.
