Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.
Will AI become smarter than humans?
If so, is humanity in danger?
I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question.
Here’s what they had to say:
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Senator Collins:
I'm asking you, not as your opponent, but as a Mainer and a veteran who has seen too many people die.
You can stop this war machine before it chews up any more lives.
If you still have a conscience somewhere under all that concern, we need you to find it.
that sounds like totally normal cat behavior to me:-)
This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
Maria Goeppert Mayer depicted on a U.S. postage stamp
For #WomensHistoryMonth: Let us celebrate the life and accomplishments of Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-1972), Ph.D. theoretical physicist and only the second woman to win the Nobel Prize in physics. She shared the 1963 prize for her work in developing the shell model of nuclear structure. 🎢⚛️🧪 1/n
All of a sudden I am seeing a lot of people attacking Graham Platner— however listen to what he is fighting for— taxing the rich and fighting for universal healthcare. I can’t think of a better platform. I’ve been waiting for a candidate to speak out about these issues coherently for decades.
Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.
Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.
These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?
Does anyone really believe that?
Should tell our graduating physics majors who have an interest in education to apply?
This war must end. Our Senators and Congressman must not know a moment’s peace until this ends.
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

This should be used as part of the evidence for treason.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.
Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
Thunderstorms can generate weak electrical discharges on the plants underneath, but until now, they had never been observed in nature
applying not appalling😬🙄
really need to have my glasses on when I use voice recognition
welcome to Bluesky! Thanks for all the work you do appalling the rule of law. I look forward to the day when the current administration is gone and sent to trial as I’m sure you do too.
Join me in calling on Congress to abolish ICE by adding your name to this petition today. We're so close to reaching 50,000 signatures.
I can hardly wait to vote her out of office.
and you can see his interview with Stephen Colbert here: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...
Trump and Bondi and others in the administration want the public to believe that Christians (but only their approved kind) are persecuted in America for their beliefs (anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+). But they just censored James Talarico, a Christian whose Christian beliefs challenge theirs.
If you're a monk planning to go on a peace walk, it's highly recommended you bring along an adorable little peace dog. 🐕
Here's Aloka pleasing the crowds at the Lincoln Memorial: after arriving at the destination of their 2,300 mile walk. 🥰
I wonder how a human being finds themselves in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of accountability...
