That Obama arrest video shows what MAGA is about at its core. Remember, no one took Trump seriously until his racist accusations against Obama. Notice, the video doesn't just show Obama getting arrested, or even Obama resisting his arrest, it shows Obama being put in his place on his knees.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

It's so weird when people can't tell they're the villains in the story. People wake up like "doo da doo time to put on my ski mask and cover my badge number like a hero would." "I'm not wrong, it's the crying family I'm tearing apart that is the problem."

I think the root of a lot of our problems is people basically refusing to read anything except social media. And that goes all the way from the leader of the free world down to my colleagues who reply to emails asking questions that were directly addressed in the email I sent them.

There is zero ZEROOO doubt in my mind that AI cults are going to be huge. I don't mean, like, "I LOVE AI SAM ALTMAN IS SENPAI" I mean like, "I have used AI to tap into the deep secrets of the ancient, forgotten texts that tell the future and it tells me that /you/ have been /chosen/...to follow me."

This selfie is, literally, out of this world.
NASA's Perseverance rover took a photo of itself on the surface of Mars on May 10 to mark its 1,500th Martian day exploring the planet. That’s equivalent to 1,541 Earth days because one day on Mars is 24.6 hours long.

NASA’s total funding is 0.3% of the Federal Budget. Just saying.

Crazy but not so surprising given the context. Computer security will suffer from continued degradation of the CVE system.
Various EU laws mandate the creation of cybersecurity institutions that, in principle, should play a similar role. I hope that can work.

From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

Why isn’t this information being broadcast over and over in the American media? Because it’s not good TV. Even if you support the idea of tariffs, this implementation is moronic and destructive and you can see that with basic arithmetic. youtu.be/PWhv-06DNjE?...

If you wanted to destroy the brand of the United States, one great way would be to convince other countries not to send their kids to school here. Think about it, even dictators send their kids to colleges in the United States. I bet revoking student visas will accomplish that.
