My dog may confuse close-reading a paper with close-eating it, but I bet you don't. Please consider applying to this guaranteed MLA27 session, and help us spread the word!

Wow!
--..."unfortunately AI models are not perfect,” a Google spokesman said in a statement.--
"We are punching them while they are down" is something even bullies know makes them look bad. Also, it sounds suspiciously close to a war crime.
I originally read the name as Rachel Dolezal and had to do a double take.
The games begin!! Texas is seeing massive turn out in primary!! Dallas County judge extended Texas voting 2 hrs because the Republicans changed the voting location requirement, creating massive confusion!
It was reported that one loc turned away over half the voters! Election info site crashed! 🤔
Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
Straight up
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉!!
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.
That is a shame. Big, if true.
I am with Max
Oh yikes. I tried to share a story here! Hang on.
This is an important and terrifying story.
Both empathy and the respect for the rule of law have been lost. All the guardrails.
I see the Southern and Eastern Europeans have been demoted again. And let's just not talk about the French.
Which, of course, is the very least of the problems with this, but interesting still to see how often the English/Scotch/Irish juxtaposition is being invoked lately
Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon.
The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough.

"I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to silence."
Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein who is serving a federal prison sentence on sex trafficking charges, repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence during a deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
