Siri is so broken that if you ask when the next full moon is, instead of already using the data it has in the Weather app, it asks ChatGPT for the information.

What a mistake.

The NYTimes obituary for Charlie Kirk includes: “He tweeted relentlessly with a brash right-wing spin, including inflammatory comments about Jewish, gay and Black people.” Inflammatory comments? That’s the closest you can get to honestly describing the type of rhetoric he spread?
“He quickly became a fixture in the Trumpian media sphere. He tweeted relentlessly with a brash right-wing spin, including inflammatory comments about Jewish, gay and Black people. Even some conservatives found his approach distasteful, but not Mr. Trump: One sign of Mr. Kirk’s ascendence was how often Mr. Trump retweeted him.”

At 4p ET/1p PT, I’ll have a one of a kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. He died in the Parkland school shooting. But his parents have created an AI version of their son for a powerful message on gun violence. Plus TX Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social - see you soon on Substack and later on YouTube.

this is, by definition, not an "immigration crackdown"
AXIOS Trump administration officials are suggesting their immigration crackdown could expand to include deporting convicted U.S. citizens and charging anyone — not just immigrants - who criticizes Trump's policies.

Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi remains in detention.

His classmate Mahmoud Khalil was not even allowed to see his baby born last night.

Hours later, nearly 200 US schools "speak with one voice" in defense of their students and faculty.

And Columbia refuses to sign it:

NEW— Nearly 200 US college presidents affirm their schools as places where "faculty, students, and staff are free to exchange ideas and opinions…without fear of retribution, censorship, or deportation."

Signers include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, UPenn, Brown, Tufts

Notably absent: Columbia
"As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education. We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding. America’s system of higher learning is as varied as the goals and dreams of the students it serves. It includes research universities and community colleges; comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges; public institutions and private ones; freestanding and multi-site campuses. Some institutions are designed for all students, and others are dedicated to serving particular groups. Yet, American institutions of higher learning have in common the essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom. Our colleges and universities share a commitment to serve as centers of open inquiry where, in their pursuit of truth, faculty, students, and staff are free to exchange ideas and opinions across a full range of viewpoints without fear of retribution, censorship, or deportation. Because of these freedoms, American institutions of higher learning are essential to American prosperity and serve as productive partners with government in promoting the common good. Colleges and universities are engines of opportunity and mobility, anchor institutions that contribute to economic and cultural vitality regionally and in our local communities. They foster creativity and innovation, provide human resources to meet the fast-changing demands of our dynamic workforce, and are themselves major employers. They nurture the scholarly pursuits that ensure America’s leadership in research, and many prov…

Israel with the help of America and Britain is bombing Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen and Syria all at once tonight. Raids are also continuing in the occupied West Bank.

There really is no rest for the wicked: Israel never sleeps.

average U.S. politician will see something like this and all they'll say is "Israel has a right to defend itself"
