“An analysis revealed multiple oddities that would not be expected for data from real people, leading Barnett and his colleagues to suspect that the data could have been fabricated. “It was an enormous surprise to come across something like that,” Barnett says.”

Homeland Security klogo: More Third World Violence: ICE Requests Texas Not Release Illegal Alien Who Murdered His Co-Worker with a Sledgehammer Release Date: April 20, 2026 If you import the third world, you become the third world WASHINGTON — The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer requesting local authorities not release Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, a 19-year-old criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who is charged with murdering his co-worker to death with a sledgehammer.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using official press releases to message that Westerners (they mean white people) are superior to people from the Global South (they mean non-white people). This is a dangerous, backwards position for our government to take.
/also, "murdered .. to death"?
Now, this overreach is affecting Holocaust education, at the very moment when it is essential for all Americans to understand the mechanisms of fascism. 3/3

I have confirmation the SAVE Act died because Senate Republicans knew it would disenfranchise their own voters at much higher rates than Democrats. I wasn’t going crazy.
I’m so sorry 😭😭

Youtube comment: @ScotClose • 3 hours ago I'm disappointed that you blocked me on Bluesky for trying to bring some real skepticism to this topic after you strongly implied that Platner is a Nazi and ridiculed people for asking for evidence. If you're only a skeptic about topics you disagree with, are you really a skeptic? Reply 0 replies ^ Graham Platner is an Embarrassing Liar WE @RebeccaWatson • O seconds ago I'm not shocked that a man who openly defends an obvious liar with a Nazi tattoo is also apoplectic that the woman he was yelling at opted out of a conversation with him. This is psychotic behavior and you should see a therapist.

Everytime I see shit like this is a fundamental failure to understand the role and purpose of what an "NPC" plays in game design. The role of an npc is to deliver tone, information, character. Things AI are incapable of doing because it requires intent.

Iran is correct here. The US naval blockade is nothing but modern-day piracy. I said exactly the same when the morons in charge first announced they were starting a retaliatory blockade in response to Iran not giving up control of the Strait.

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.
1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.
In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.
Most people have no idea. 🧵
This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly.
We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.
