Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Well, @sarahjeong.bsky.social has been pitching Best Gas Masks for a while now and it’s about time to say yes
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Nobody in the media will directly say "all of trumps social media people are using Nazi propaganda" because they're like, that's such a strong claim, what if all of it has been by ACCIDENT. but like... it's pretty undeniable that it's all fucking WEIRD. why is the department of LABOR posting this?
A recent Department of Labor post uses a slogan similar to the Nazi propaganda slogan "One People, One Empire, One Leader”

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Like just the idea that it's not a big deal to cite something that you don't know is real because you asked an LLM is so against all of our training. Like what do you mean you might catch that mistake later on, it's when you made it that it mattered!
People are taken back when many academics respond so viscerally to so many uses of GenAI, but this is why.

One of the only really good values you learn in academia--or at least in my corner of it--is citation. Choosing not to cite just makes you a low-down thief.
I read this piece 👆 after I had one of these incidents 👇 last week. Citation is *not* merely "academic." It's about honesty and honor and responsibility and generosity. And there are ways to do it that aren't clunky and intrusive!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
