2. There is no definitive tool to CHECK for AI usage 3. There is no policy or law (at least not at my publication) that says you cant and what consequences will be. It’s a LAWLESS terrain and there needs to be a unified body of guidelines instead of a vibe-based witchhunt.

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Let me give you the actual solution to this problem. Universities and colleges have to hire football players as union employees (AFL-CIO, same as the NFL), with no requirement to attend school. They get health and retirement benefits, and are limited to a five year employment contract.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Messaging for the Dems seems like it would be crystal clear and yet we’re gonna sit around and argue about what is socialism and what isn’t. “Remember when they promised to drain the swamp?” “They promised an end to forever wars.” And so on. Use their promises against them. This shit ain’t hard.

My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.

you asked, I answer: Why Lower Oil Prices Don't Guarantee Lower Gas Prices! If I had a nickel for every time someone told me “oil is at $70, gas should be $2.50,” I could probably buy a refinery. It’s one of the most common misconceptions I see. Read the article- LINK BELOW!
