There's no evidence that we can neutralize MAHA with a better health care system. Western Europe has universal access and lower costs — and still has huge anti-vaxx and “medical freedom” movements. MAHA is driven by right-wing misinformation, not legitimate grievances with US healthcare.

BREAKING NEWS: Iranian officials say a U.S. strike hit a wedding in Kuhestak, Sirik County, Hormozgan, killing two people and injuring 50. The death toll may rise due to the condition of some of the wounded.

Bari Weiss is a cancer on journalism.
To most people, El-Sayed's social media posts were likely innocuous. In fact, top politicians, including then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and mainstream news organizations, including CBS News itself, had pointed out at the time that the pandemic was killing more Americans than 9/11. But in Weiss' eyes, the news organization had apparently uncovered a scandal worthy of attention from a national news outlet.

Indeed, Status has learned that Weiss praised the story during the network's daily editorial meeting Monday, signaling her support for the piece to the entire network. In fact, I’m told that Weiss even personally directed that the headline be tweaked to specifically mention that El-Sayed had deleted tweets referencing the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Elsewhere inside CBS News, the story was not received so well. According to people familiar with the matter, many employees inside the David Ellison-owned newsroom viewed the story with disdain, believing it served as yet another blemish calling into question the organization's objectivity under new ownership.

CBS’ El-Sayed Scandal
The Bari Weiss-led outlet is being pummeled by a storm of outrage over a story about Abdul El-Sayed—and Status has learned that within the network, some staffers have raised the matter with standards.

The endless takes demanding "moderation" from Democrats never spell out precisely how this message is supposed to be delivered. "I am pro-trans but not too pro-trans" looks to the left like you are anti-trans and to the right like you are not anti-trans enough.

New York: heavy rain and severe thunderstorms are making their way to our city once again.
 
City agencies are preparing and mobilizing emergency teams, and you should prepare too. The greatest risk of heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding is expected Tuesday afternoon and evening, including during the evening commute, with rain and storms possible through Thursday.
 
Stay inside during downpours, strong winds and thunderstorms. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for emergency updates.
Conditions can worsen quickly. Stay safe and, as always, look out for your neighbors.

Summary:
The Prophet ascended to heaven from Jerusalem. Kadar merely died here, in the ruins hidden deep beneath the Temple Mount.

Being dead is boring, but Altaïr’s reappearance in Jerusalem makes it marginally less so.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Reddit post in r/DefendingAIArt by u/MandarinDawnPoppy994

[AMA] I scraped all of Cara

Will answer questions here or on Discord.

TL;DR: I scraped all of Cara, an anti-AI art platform! It was a fun project, happy to answer any questions here :)

Some statistics:
- Just over 12 million works in total
- ~12TB worth of images
- On average ~2.3 images per post
- Average image size, ~0.95MB

Total cost was just under $10 for the entire scrape.

Will release the list of URLs soon! I may soon have a way to remove Glaze/Nightshade, please join Discord if you would be willing to help! E.g. contribute your GPU to a pool to process images :)

To all you copyright trolls out there who will inevitably try to report this, I am not distributing any image files! Distributing URLs has been shown countless times not to infringe on copyright, take for example LAION-5B, etc.

Seven mass murderers are about to descend on New York
'Trying to prevent next Mamdani, say
Israeli vets slated to visit NYC campuses
"I'm seeing what's going on in New York," Stav Cohen, founder of the Israeli nonprofit Frontline
Advocates, told JNS. "I fear for my speakers' lives."
RIKKI ZAGELBAUM(Aug. 13, 2026 / JNS) Stav Cohen, 30, an Israeli attorney and special-forces reservist,
has spent more than 12 years fighting terrorists. He now plans to deploy his combat
skills against another threat to the Jewish state-this one found on American
college campuses.
"A loaded M16 is to prevent the next attack tonight," but it's necessary to talk to
college students before they become "the next Mamdani or the next Congress
leaders," the grandchild of Holocaust survivors told INS.
Cohen is co-founder of the Israeli nonprofit Frontline Advocates, which trains
Israeli veterans and others to defend the Jewish state and which is about to lead a
seven-member delegation to New York from Aug. 23 to 30.
"For me, this is the only way to build a better future," he told JNS. "To stop the
bloodshed."
Cohen and Itay Sagi, 27, plan to lead the delegation, which is slated to spend the
week holding public debates and filming social media posts near New York
University, Columbia University, Fordham University, Fashion Institute of
Technology, City College and Stony Brook Southampton, per a preliminary schedule that JNS viewed.
