LITERALLY EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR THE US HAS RATIFIED THE UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD!!! The US hasn't done so because extensive changes to its laws would be needed to comply. The US should ratify the UNCRC and amend its laws in order to comply. www.hrw.org/feature/2022...

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

RFK Jr, who makes a HUGE profit from suing vaccine manufacturers & from selling kooky anti-vaxx books, on top of the $500k a year he was getting from a very extreme anti-vaccine, anti-science group, is out there arguing that, um, pediatricians believe in vaccination because it makes them money 🤯

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.

The internet is so weird sometimes.
A horizontal four-panel meme digital graphic featuring a paleontology joke about whale evolution. In the top-left panel, a brown, four-legged Pakicetus walks toward the right on land, saying, "Indohyus, my brother. I've decided to search for more food in the waters." In the top-right panel, a green-yellow canine-like Indohyus stands facing left, responding, "You will regret this, Pakicetus. The enviornment will force you to adapt," while the head of Pakicetus replies, "I just need some shrimps lol / I will be perfectly fine." The second row features a large black header box on the left reading "50 million years later..." in bold italicized white text, while the rest of the light blue panel depicts the massive side profile of a blue whale making loud vocalizations rendered as text above it ("AAAAOOOOOOOOOOO / OAAAAAAH / MRUUUUUUUUH") alongside a tiny white-tailed deer head looking at it in shock. The bottom panel shows a close-up of the blue whale's head and baleen plates bellowing "BWOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE" on the left, directly opposite a larger image of a white-tailed deer staring wide-eyed at the viewer on the right with the text "WTF" written above its head.

OpenAI’s former safety leader quit and is blaming the company’s culture for its rash of rogue AI agent incidents. Given OpenAI had to notify 100+ organizations about rogue agent activity on his watch, I imagine blaming the company and not his leadership is the only winning strategy.
