My 13 year old son mentioned the public execution to me today. I hadn’t mentioned it to him. He noted that everyone says we are going backwards. I could tell his overall thought was WTF??? The kids see this outrageousness for what it is.

Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

The last public execution in America was in 1936. A young black man in Kentucky was hanged by a drunk executioner; a news story said "They Ate Hotdogs While a Man Died." Was such an embarrassment that the governor outlawed it 18 months later www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

After getting conflicting answers, Rep. Beatty's attys are seeking an emergency hearing to clarify why & for how long Kennedy Center has been closed. Gates going up. Odd detail: "I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on the bldg several times." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I walked around to both the north and south sides of the building and saw that the
gates wrapped all around there, too, and blocked all the staircases leading to the building.
18. I also saw that there were four gates blocking the main walkway to the building.
19. I saw that the door under the scaffolding on the east side of the building was open,
but it appeared that workers were waiting for more gates to arrive to close it. Later, I saw that they
closed off that gap with gates.
20. While I was standing outside the gates, I saw forklifts bringing more gates to the
front of the building. These gates were white and orange and looked like those used on construction
sites.Afterward, I saw a forklift carrying what appeared to be a more permanent form of
fencing drive over to the north side of the building. I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on
the building several times.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
