One in eight Americans, or around 30 million people, are taking a GLP-1 drug. Among 50-64 year olds, it's one in five.

A no-brainer for any Democratic aspirant for the presidency is to vow to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center and to tear down his White House ballroom to be replaced by a refurbished East Wing.

The fact that a lot of people would rather watch someone wave their hands around and say "the math ain't mathing" than read actual writing explains a lot about how ai content is taking over so easily
It reminds me of that piece where they were like "people prefer ai poetry to human poetry, and assume the ai is human and the human is ai" like a whole bunch of people have an inherent slop affinity and it makes me feel like an alien

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

The "major questions doctrine" is just something Supreme Court Justices made up to give themselves more power whenever they feel like it. No basis in law granting the Supreme Court majority additional ability to undo an act of Congress they disagree with because Justices say this one's a big deal.
