Israel to close West Bank crossing to Jordan indefinitely starting Wednesday.
The closure of Allenby effectively seals off the non-Jewish population of the West Bank from the outside world, as IDF attacks and settler pogroms accelerate.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

At the Commencement for students graduating from University of Maryland School of Law I spent some time talking with law graduates about the significance of the oath they will take when they are admitted to the bar, and its importance to upholding the rule of law. Especially now.

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

A natalist conference featuring eugenicists and promoters of race science, apparently including the man behind a race-science influencer account, and the founder of a startup offering IQ screening for IVF embryos, will be held at a hotel and conference venue operated by UT Austin.

I know it's pointless to say this, but the Beneficial Ownership reporting is really simple to do. The only way it's an "absolute disaster" or "economic menace" is if you are fully aware that writing down your owners will produce criminal liability.
