Their commandments are such a big line in the sand they elected Trump president, who has likely broken all ten of them.
You're not fighting “the atheists,” and you're not winning.

You're fighting the Constitution, religious freedom, and the millions of Texans of all faiths and none who know it's not government’s job to impose one religion on every public school student.

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.

When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

President Donald Trump said he will be involved in his administration’s approval process for Netflix’s proposed $83 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, adding that the streaming giant’s strong market position “could be a problem.”

Intensely funny because it seems like the vast majority of people at that event were convinced it was fully autonomous and Musk has repeatedly recently claimed they're not tele-operated

I recently saw a comment that basically said "Maga gain comfort from being lied to" and I'm not sure how you're meant to counter that.
Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Been there, done that, waved the miniature American flag. I went in thinking it was a mere paperwork task and ended up pretty moved by the end of the ceremony.
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

You guys, I just went to the new Microcenter unsupervised and didn't buy anything. I'm very proud of myself. That place could make me poor very quickly.

Yes but also redrawing those maps doesn't come with a guarantee. We've just seen a 15 point shift in Tennessee. You're skimming of one district to fill another. If people turn up instead of treating it like a normal midterm it could get interesting.

If you want to feel really smart, try reading some comments under an Apollo moon landing video.

Even if you assume a large proportion are just trolls doing it for the lulz or bots, it's depressing as hell because the flat earth/moon landing conspiracy to far right pipeline is a real thing.

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.
BREAKING on MS NOW:
 
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.
