James Van der Beek passed away and if you watched Dawsons Creek it’s probably time to schedule a colonoscopy. (Guidance is 45+)

There are multiple narratives floating around about the El Paso airport most with little credible sourcing.
"Here is the secret plot about how the DHS wants to hurt El Paso economically" doesn't sound that convincing via a reddit post when the POTUS is openly threatening multiple whole states atm.

🚫⚠️ EL PASO AIRPORT RE-OPENS

⚠️ EL PASO UPDATE:
Airline sources told Reuters the grounding of flights was believed to be tied to the Pentagon's use of counterdrone technology to address Mexican drug cartels' use of drones of the U.S.-Mexico border. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Colleges need to stop trying to teach students how to use AI. Even in the theoretical use cases, genAI requires the expertise to know the process and outcome WITHOUT IT to be able to use it for shortcuts and then THOROUGHLY vet the product. EXPERTISE. Students don't have that, they're students.
