Spouse's Duolingo Spanish has always had weird sentences, but some of the ones she's come across in the last few months have both of us laughing and confused. Can't help but wonder if this is why.
Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

/2 "to show that gerrymandering is racist rather than merely partisan the challenger has to offer race-neutral partisan alternatives" is relatively new despicable shit, and "a state gerrymandering based on a president's explicit written demand for racial gerrymandering is presumed cool" is fresh.

So in 1991 Hepatitis B vaccination was recommended for all babies. New cases went from 1000s to 100s. The current recommendation works and it works well.
So why does RFKJ's ACIP want to change it? They refuse to answer this question directly. Some seem to believe the vaccine is harmful.

Seems to me they may have been trying to flip the boat to keep from drowning, but perhaps my Trump Derangement Syndrome skews my perception.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
