I expect an alligator will kill a child at "Alligator Alcatraz" because children will also be incarcerated there, and that that is the fricking point.

Is it the case that AI excels at copyediting? Because I sure as hell haven't noticed any improvements with the advent of availability of AI after all the reductions among copyeditors at various publications.

The DOJ is not going to release anything new if, indeed, they have anything that is not already known. It would ruin any possible leverage they have on the new Epsteinistas. They can maintain control of anyone they have already captured from the right, and time any release about Democrats.

Sweetie, there are conservatives and then there are far right radical crazy evil people. Our Democrats, like Bill Clinton, were plenty conservative ("ending welfare as we know it," NAFTA, GATT, ending protections for banking aka Glass-Steagal Act). These guys make Reagan look like a Democrat.

Thank you for the instructions on this. My son is blind and VI (so monocular) and has training on Assistive Technology for the blind. People assume that blind and VI people are not on the Internet when nothing could be further from the truth. Thank you for teaching and reminding about accessibility!

This Bill was called "One Big Beautiful Bill" by Fearless (aka "Feckless" Leader. One Republican cleaved off, I believe. That took some courage. But the rest passed this obscenity. All the Democrats held discipline and voted No.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

It appears the current administration wants at-risk populations for influenza to get very ill, crowd our medical resources, contribute to viral mutations, and, hopefully, die. I hope I am just over-reacting, but the events of the last few weeks appear to indicate that there is no such thing.

Mr. Musk has already asserted his right to wade into German politics given his "substantial investments" in that country. I await his inevitable OpEd in an appropriate British publication during the next election period.

Lack of education doesn't enter into it. There are plenty of people with K-12 or less who are smarter. Dumb as in being able to process information freely available and refusing to do so. Willful ignorance. There are people with intellectual disabilities who aren't this kind of dumb.

Sadly, unless the entire administration is in stealth mode to make certain tRump actually won the election fair and square, they are sleepwalking alternating with outrageous pardons of judges who sell kids to private prisons.

First there was inviting all the white supremacists and nazis back to Twitter because "FREEEEEEEE SPEEEEEEEECH! SUPREEEEEEEEM!!" Then it was the "cute" Nazi memes. And, lately it has been the messages of support for bona fide neo-Nazis wanting political power in Germany. Nope. Not a sign. Nothing.

In the case of Trump supporting voters, they just never seem to consider how his administration could and will hurt them in particular. It is always somehow more important to punish their "enemies" in the Culture War than have their own needs met.
