BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious after asking his staffers why no one on Truth Social was posting how he's the greatest president ever anymore, and one of his staffers had to explain how Ukraine bombed several Russian bot farms, and no one on Truth Social is real.

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay, a South African human rights lawyer who led a United Nations commission last year that found that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Trump's strategy of blowing people up on sea & land failed to impress the committee...again.

Béjar’s daughter was 14 when she told him Instagram was failing to keep her safe. So when he became part of Meta’s ‘wellbeing team’, he knew he had to speak out – and his testimony cost it billions

Stop relying on AI chatbots for customer care, UK banks and energy firms told
Citizens Advice says providers of essential services such as energy, banking, phone and internet should guarantee the ‘right to talk to a human’ Stop relying on AI chatbots for customer care and guarantee the “right to talk to a human”, Citizens Advice has urged essential service providers, as research found they wasted time, caused stress and delayed problem solving for more than half of users. The spread of the AI-powered systems to provide help about the provision of vital services such as energy, banking, phones and internet, is making it harder for millions of already digitally excluded people to handle snags, according to the frontline charity that last year provided more than 2.7 million people with one-on-one help in England and Wales.

#ResistanceRoots Dorothy Vaughan was born on this day in 1910 in Kansas City, Mo. She was a mathematician, human computer and computer programmer who became the first African American supervisor at NASA. Throughout her career, she fought for equal pay and advancements and promotions for women. /1
Dorothy Vaughan in 1971, the year she retired from NASA. Vaughan was a visionary pioneer for women in STEM and a foundational architect of the U.S. space program. She broke through the dual barriers of Jim Crow segregation and gender discrimination to alter the course of aerospace history. Her calculations and FORTRAN programming laid the groundwork for America’s early aerospace achievements. By becoming NACA’s first African American supervisor in 1949, Vaughan cracked open doors that had been firmly shut to women of color. She spent her tenure as Section Head fighting for equal pay, promotions and engineering assignments for both Black and white women across the agency. When electronic computers arrived, she taught herself FORTRAN and trained her staff, saving dozens of Black women from layoffs and transitioning them into high-tech careers. Vaughan stands today as a symbol of resilience, intellectual brilliance and the indispensable power of community.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

The statement from the Irish president is well, presidential.
"As President of Ireland, I am very conscious
that Ireland and the United States of America
are bound by strong ties. This is a deep
connection, built over centuries, which allows
us to speak openly to one another.
We are in a world facing the existential threat
posed by war and climate change, both of
which are inextricably interlinked.
I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people
that the normalisation of war and genocide can
never be accepted.
As a country which has suffered famine,
colonisation and the violence of the Troubles,
but also the importance of the long and
challenging road to peace, I emphasised the
unique insight which Irish people can bring to
the resolution of conflict.
