Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

One thing editors drilled into me was to use "farther" for physical distances, "further" for metaphorical ones. I have a mnemonic for this: Mercury is farther from the sun than Earth? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Every year, hundreds of children in the US gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. So far in 2025, there have been at least 175 unintentional shootings by children, resulting in 72 deaths and 106 injuries nationally.

A 5-year-old girl was unintentionally shot and wounded by her 6-year-old brother last week in Cincinnati, Ohio. Authorities have not yet shared how the children were able to access the gun. These tragedies are preventable with secure gun storage.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!
Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id.  To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.
Do not punish the behaviour you want to
see
I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right? But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort
to socialize, snarkily say, "So, you've decided to join us"? Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, "Why
can't you do that all the time?" (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word "finally". If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don't
bring up previous stuff. Encourage it. Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that
success and failure are both punished.

Notably, a current FBI website — with a document from the first Trump admin — highlights the limitations on what is done as to “domestic terrorism.” The focus, it says, is on “‘violent extremism,’ because the underlying ideology itself and the advocacy of such beliefs is not prohibited by US law.”

Domestic Terrorism:
Definitions, Terminology, and Methodology
As required by the National Defense Authorization Act, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, have developed standard definitions of terminology related to domestic terrorism and uniform methodologies for tracking domestic terrorism incidents.Domestic Terrorism: Definitions. Terminology, and Methodology
Statute
Pub. L. 116-92 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020
Requirements
• Develop standardized definitions of terminology relating to domestic terrorism (DT) and uniform methodologies for tracking incidents of DT
• This is requested to be done jointly by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence.
November 2020
Under FBI policy and federal law, no investigative activity may be based solely on First Amendment activity. The FBI does not investigate, collect, or maintain information on US persons solely for the purpose of monitoring activities protected by the First Amendment. All personnel should exercise sound judgment and discretion in evaluating the totality of circumstances surrounding any of these indicators in order to determine whether a law enforcement or intelligence response or activity is warranted.
Definitions
Domestic Terrorism for the FBI's purposes is referenced in U.S. Code at 18 U.S.C. 2331(5), and is defined as activities:
• Involving acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State:
• Appearing to be intended to:
• Intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
• Influence the policy of government by intimidation or coercion; or
• Affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping; and
• Occurring primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
This is a definitional statute, not a charging statute. We talk about the threat these actors pose as Domestic Terrorism threats, but each of the FBI's threat categories, described in further detail below, uses the words "violent extremism" because the underlying ideology itself and the advocacy of such beliefs is not prohibited by US law.

Note: I don’t know where this is going at all. It’s not a “foreign terrorist organization,” which is a thing State does. There is a “domestic terrorism” definition, but it involves no formal designations. This could be one of those things Trump does, that is then followed by a memo: Do this —>

16. Providing Material Support To Designated Terrorist
Organizations (Fundraising) (18
U.S.C. 2339B)
The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty
Act of 1996 gave the Secretary of State authority to designate foreign terrorist organizations whose terrorist activity threatens the security of United States nationals or the national defense, foreign relations or economic interests of the United States. See Pub. L. 104-132, § 302, 110 Stat. 1214,
1248. See also section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1189). The Antiterrorism Act also created 18 U.S.C. § 2339B, which makes it unlawful, within the United States, or for any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States anywhere, to knowingly provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization that has been designated by the Secretary of State. See Pub. L. 104-132, § 303, 110
Stat. 1214, 1250.(5) the term "domestic terrorism" means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of
the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States; and

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.” Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.
Donald J. Trump t @realDonald Trump
I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A.
Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
