“I announced…I’m a journalist, I’m press.” The woman to my left hissed, “We don’t give a fuck,” and the other dug her nails into my scalp and pulled me by my hair across the port.”

U.S. allies abducting and torturing American journalists isn’t a problem to this administration.

No one knows how many people ICE has kidnapped, how many have been shipped overseas or how many are still detained. Many have no contact with family or any lawyers, and no one who knows them knows where they are. Many are being held indefinitely in facilities that refuse oversight

Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 36 times, according to reports from Palestinian human rights organizations.

These incursions include drone strikes, shelling, and attacks on civilians returning home — all while a truce was supposed to be in force.
Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 36 times, according to reports from Palestinian human rights organizations. These incursions include drone strikes, shelling, and attacks on civilians returning home — all while a truce was supposed to be in force. Humanitarian observers say each breach compounds the suffering of a population already squeezed by famine, destruction, and siege. Ceasefire in name only.

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).

Justice Anthony Kennedy literally wrote the Citizens United decision that is destroying democracy — and yet he’s now on a media tour saying he’s worried about democracy’s survival.

And somehow not one media outlet he’s granted an interview has asked him about Citizens United.

This is bullshit, but also, yet another example of attempts to rely on technology to give supposed “objective” pain ratings while denying the most useful way to get that information: ask the person (or in the case of babies/toddlers, their parents), and actually believe them.

Facial expressions common to all humans! 🙃
PainChek is one of these behavioral models, and it acts like a camera‑based thermometer, but for pain: A care worker opens the app and holds a phone 30 centimeters from a person’s face. For three seconds, a neural network looks for nine particular microscopic movements—upper‑lip raise, brow pinch, cheek tension, and so on—that research has linked most strongly to pain. Then the screen flashes a score of 0 to 42. “There’s a catalogue of ‘action‑unit codes’—facial expressions common to all humans. Nine of those are associated with pain,” explains Kreshnik Hoti, a senior research scientist with PainChek and a co-inventor of the device. This system is built directly on the foundation of FACS. After the scan, the app walks the user through a yes‑or‑no checklist of other signs, like groaning, “guarding,” and sleep disruption, and stores the result on a cloud dashboard that can show trends.

How much did your 'wealth' increase by? 🤔
#Inequality
According to a June 2025 report by Oxfam, the world's richest 1% have increased their wealth by more than $33.9 trillion in real terms since 2015. Let's say that again: Over $33,900,000,000,000. On top of what they already had.
