I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

This was in the town Facebook group. So yes, the racist ads are for a certain type of person. Also, welcome to Southlake, Texas.

We already hav an Islamic Center right across the street from one of our elementary schools. With close housing around their property.
Now, this used to be a Christian Church! Now they are sending out, over speakers outside, a call to prayer 5 times a day AND have bright lights on their property shining into neighbors backyards. It's really causing a stir around here. This is a Christian community and they're starting to overtake the community. AND, if our local government tries to do anything about it they cry discrimination!!! So the local government is letting them get away with what would be breaking the code for any other residents!!
What can we do about this???

Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power. Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression! Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The best reading of the actual statute that underpins this criminal case yields an inescapable
conclusion: 18 U.S.C. S 611 is a voter qualification statute, and the Constitution does not authorize
Congress to legislate voter qualifications for federal elections. Except for very specific constitutional
provisions (that cannot support this statute; we will go through them, Congress has no power to say
who can vote or who cannot vote in federal elections-that foundational power is reserved for the States,
and limits Congress.
Some legal principles are so fundamental that they form American constitutional bedrock, and
this case reveals a big one: When you're prosecuted based on a law that Congress did not have the
authority to pass, the prosecution cannot stand. That principle in federal law harkens back to cases
like Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 180 (1803), and United States v. Hudson, 11 U.S. 32, 34 (1812), and
has had explicit and unbroken support in criminal cases since Ex Parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, 376-77
(1879) ("An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offence created by it is not a crime. A
conviction under it is not merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and cannot be a legal cause of
imprisonment."). The principle is so fundamental that it even predates our constitutional republic; it
lies at the very heart of our constitutional heritage. See, e.g., Bayard v. Singleton, 1 N.C. 5, 9-10 (1787) (striking down a legislative act as unconstitutional and holding that a court cannot enforce an
unconstitutional law in any type of proceeding). This principle acts as a shield for every person facing
criminal prosecution in the United States, citizen and non-citizen alike. That shield protects the
Defendant here, and none of the Government's arguments break through it.

Man got to tell himself he understand.

This should be a war crime:

Following Bremer’s declaration that Iraq was “open for business,” Western agribusiness giants like Monsanto, Cargill, and Dow Chemicals saw Iraq’s agricultural sector, already weakened by droughts and Western sanctions in the 1990s, as a promising business opportunity. With Order 81 in place, Iraqi farmers had no choice but to buy into Western agribusinesses and their patented seed technology.
Unlike open-pollinated seeds, which are naturally pollinated through wind and insects, patented seeds must be repurchased or relicensed from their manufacturer every single year. Some are bred to yield a diminishing crop season after season, guaranteeing that a farmer repurchases them from the manufacturer. Farmers failing to relicense patented seeds can be sued by the manufacturing company. The patented seeds need specific inputs like fertilizer and pesticides that must also be purchased from the same manufacturer.
This business model effectively trapped Iraqi farmers …
