n of 1: my undergrad child is planning to pursue a PhD in history, and abhors all chatCPG and gen AI with a passion that warms my soul
It's so striking to me all the essays about the death of the humanities and who and what to blame and blah blah blah and the answer is pretty much the undergraduate business major and everything it represents.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The number of ICONIC observers in bathrobes here in the Twin Cities is higher than it should be.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I can confidently say I’ve never her more F bombs from Minnesotans in my life. Endorse.
I need you all to watch this. If this isn’t the most Minnesota ass thing on the planet i don’t know what is

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

How does the @nytimes.com not know this is sugar cane?
At the start of his Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny appeared in a field of green grass wearing a jersey featuring the number “64.” Fans immediately started tossing out theories about what the number meant.
What Was the ‘Ocasio 64’ Reference on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Look?
And where did his suit come from? The answers may surprise.

The AI de-aging of celebrities in all these Super Bowl ads is gross and actually looks awful. This trend can’t be over soon enough.

Your racist uncle is dying because he’s pretty sure Bad Bunny just said something anti-white. Like he doesn’t understand Spanish, but he’s definitely kind of sure.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.

We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

We don't need video of the crimes. We need the crimes to stop.
The ICE agent who killed Renee Good was proudly recording it and the CBP agents who killed Alex Pretti were captured from half a dozen angles and they still called Pretti a terrorist.

Bodycams aren’t going to do shit to stop them from executing people in the streets.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
