It's convenient to be able to turn on the heat before you get home. But the onus should not be on the consumer. This was marketed as a smart thermometer & the only reason it no longer is is because Google made that decision, forcing you to buy another one. That's just not right.

I’m old and live under a rock, but I still fail to see the benefit of smart home gadgets. This is not the first time that a maker has killed a device, how many more times does it have to happen before we learn the lesson and move back to dumb devices?

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

A team of researchers analyzed the anatomical dimensions of an infamous imprint on a Chicago sidewalk, sifting through photos and measuring mammal specimens in museum collections to put what they were seeing in context.

Their conclusion? The Chicago Rat Hole was not made by a rat.

A statistical analysis of an infamous indentation in a sidewalk suggested a 99 percent likelihood that another rodent made the mark.

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.”
Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

President Trump has long railed against the “fake news” as an “enemy of the people.” But this week, the president showed how far he has come in finding a new use for the media: as props.

For Trump, media manipulation is his show of force

The president has long attacked the media as “fake news,” but the White House has created a new crop of journalists to advance its policy priorities.
