Do you need the MMR vaccine? This, from the Mayo Clinic: If you were born before 1957, you’re considered immune because you likely had the measles as a child (and survived), before a vaccine was available. 1/4

Railroad fuel surcharges have more than doubled in the past year as diesel prices have reached over $6 a gallon. Railroads carry about 1.6 million carloads of grain each year — that makes up 24 percent of domestic grain movements.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Let’s be clear on this - it can ONLY be an engineering problem since AI was created and coded by engineers. When the future lack of actually senior engineers results in none of the vibe-coders knowing how to fix what is broken, THAT is when the situation is unsolvable. Right now it still is.
