As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk
Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee literally authored a bill last year, the "Interstate Obscenely Definition Act", which would ban the transmission of "obscenity" on the internet. He realized that it wouldn't pass muster with the 1st Amendment, so the SCREEN Act is his plan B. It's about censorship first and foremost.

The AI being hyped right now is not AI at all. It's really important that we all acknowledge this, that the world is selling itself a multi- billion-dollar lemon: predictive text engines that have nothing intelligent about them. They're giant sorting machines, which is why they're so good at identifying patterns in scientific research, and could genuinely advance medicine in wonderful ways. But what they cannot do is think, and as such, it's a collective mass-delusion that these systems have any use in our day-to-day lives beyond plagiarism.
