BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld a Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.
Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution. We won't stop fighting.
I bet disillusioned voters on the left will love being lectured to “vote blue no matter who” by Cory Booker, who voted to approve MAGA felon and family member of the President, Charles Kushner, as the US Ambassador to France
this is an incredibly sketchy story and so far all the people involved in breaking / spreading it are deeply unreliable sources
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

The U.S. has widened the net of correctional control so much that if the number of people on probation & parole alone were its own state, it would be roughly the size of Connecticut.
So much for the land of the free.

Of course, I love all our @citationspod.bsky.social babies, but this ep is definitely my favorite in a while
It’s not about automation per se, but what is being automated and how that automation is accomplished through AI.
