When I was one, Nick Salvatore told us he didn't like "shit-on-the-book seminars" so we would instead spend our time talking about what *worked* in various texts to see what we could learn from other authors.

The SAVE America Act: 69 million women's birth certificates won't match their married names. Poll workers face 5 years in prison for registering a citizen whose documents don't align perfectly. Solving a problem Utah investigated & found exactly once.

A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
AI is better than humans because AI doesnβt get cancer. So letβs build data centers that we know will cause humans to get cancer. Itβs a win all around.

I have ten packs of Kaweko ink cartridges to sell. Any UK folks want them? Ebay is a right tit, ko-fi looks like it won't let me sell things that I didn't make, and Vinted scares me.
If you want some, slide into my DMs to let me know how many, and we can do a paypal thingy and I'll bung them yr way
A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert
what makes these daily updates so good is that Azizi is taking seriously what the government of Iran is saying about the war and their approach to and conduct of it

Thank you. Please note that, as the title suggest, Iβm reflecting on the Iranian narrative. Thatβs what they clearly say not necessarily what I think.
I'm a freak ... for jigsaw puzzles

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran." #IranWar
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
