Washington Post layoffs include entire Ukraine, Middle East bureaus - National | Globalnews.ca The Post’s executive editor Matt Murray called the move painful but necessary to put the outlet on stronger footing and weather changes in technology and user habits.

I’m not the world’s fourth-richest man so I don’t mean to speak out of turn here, but I think that firing your full-time foreign correspondents right before a major war might not have been a particularly wise move in terms of, you know, getting or keeping subscribers

Study: Most Of America's Paint-Only Bike Paths Are On Our Deadliest Roads — Streetsblog USA Even worse, most Americans see these terrible lanes and think, "I'd be crazy to ride a bike" — and the cycle continues.

The largest categorial of American "bike lanes" are little more than lines of paint at the edges of deadly roads — and that lack of quality infrastructure is keeping many would-be riders out of the saddle, a new study confirms.

Their marquee is well known for making jokes about ALL the movies they show - often making fun of the movie

Indigenous protesters block Cargill facility in Brazil over President Lula's decree Hundreds of Indigenous people have been protesting at a Cargill facility in Santarem, Brazil, against a decree signed in August by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Protesters will remain until Lula revokes the decree. They chose Cargill, one of the world’s largest agricultural commodity traders, because they say it symbolizes predatory agribusiness & pressures the govt to back projects that threaten the rainforest. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/braz...

In press materials providing topline findings and an overview of the study, the ADL notes Claude’s leading performance — but does not mention that Grok performed the worst of the bunch. When asked about why, Daniel Kelley, senior director of the ADL Center for Technology and Society, provided the following statement: “In our report and press release, we made a deliberate choice to highlight an AI model that demonstrated strong performance in detecting and countering antisemitism and extremism. We wanted to highlight strong performance to show what’s possible when companies invest in safeguards and take these risks seriously, rather than centering the narrative on worst-performing models. That doesn’t diminish the Grok findings—which are fully presented in the report—but reflects a deliberate choice to lead with a forward-looking, standards-setting story.”

The ADL found that Grok was the most anti-semitic chatbot in its testing -- and did its best to minimize that finding, because everyone is afraid of Elon. @miasato.bsky.social runs it down www.theverge.com/news/868925/...

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 2, 2026, to January 28, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8, when connectivity falls from above 90% to near zero. Connectivity remains almost entirely offline for an extended period, with only minimal and sporadic activity, before a partial restoration appears at the end of the period on January 27 under heavy filtering. A red horizontal arrow labelled “SHUTDOWN” marks the duration of the disruption, with an annotation on the top right reading “filtered intermittent connectivity.” The disruption aligns with a nationwide internet shutdown imposed by authorities amid unrest. The minimum and current connectivity levels are shown as 1% and 95%, respectively. The chart has a dark background and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.

⚠️ Update: 20 full days after #Iran imposed a national internet blackout, most ordinary users still face heavy filtering and intermittent service under a whitelist system despite a significant increase in internationally visible networks and datacenters.

I almost can’t believe we might get whistle control before gun control.
