Senator Katie Britt realizing what is happening to Senator Eric Schmitt in the Jack Smith hearing. This might be the best filmography ever. I can't stop watching it! 🤣

Took me way longer than I'd like to admit to make this video of Eric Schmitt R-MO being utterly inept with Jack Smith as Katie Britt R-AL looks on

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

A lot of parents already know they need to talk about sexual violence and consent. And you do. But that’s only the tiniest piece of the puzzle. And if you don’t situate that conversation in a broader focus on gender equality, then you might do more harm than good.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

It's quite funny that political science has gone through multiple science wars largely over anxiety that we're not as scientific as "hard" sciences, while hard science is now wondering if software can bleed.

<<cackles darkly>> How much of this tech bro shit is driven by the disappearance of female secretaries, who, let's be honest, kept a lot of companies running, and ability of wives to now say "No, time, honey, got a board meeting then school pickup, you gotta make the res for your mom's bday."

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette?

There's what DHS said...and then there's reality ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
Screenshot of the first three paragraphs of the linked Balls and Strikes article, reading as follows:

On the morning of Sunday, September 20, police officers in the Chicago suburb of Evanston responded to a 911 call about a confrontation in the street. When the officers arrived, they found a man on the ground who reported injuries to his head, neck, and teeth. Soon, the officers learned that the injured man was a U.S. citizen, and his assailants were federal immigration agents.

The Department of Homeland Security put out a statement on Tuesday claiming that the beaten man “resembled the target” of an immigration enforcement operation, and that he was “not cooperative” with agents’ investigation. “Once the individual finally identified himself,” said DHS, immigration officers “left the scene without further incident.” 

A video of the incident shows that immigration officers pinned the man to the ground while he repeatedly yelled, “I’m a fucking U.S. citizen,” and while concerned witnesses asked why the agents were “fucking him up.” Eventually, the agents drove off without rendering medical aid. People tried to comfort the man, who remained motionless on the ground.
