Yes. This ain’t hard. This should be Journalism 101 stuff. Freshman year.
"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Seems like the wrong font for “Americanism” too tho it does ring a bell.
What the hell is this "kulturkampf" shit from the Department of Labor? Don't they have actual jobs to do?

This thread is a horror, and while generative "A.i." is not entirely to blame, it's absolutely part of the problem and should be entirely abolished from education.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The Secretary of Defense is the director of crimes against humanity.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

If we don’t send Hegseth to prison, we have failed as a country.
WASH POST: “As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed Hegseth’s order to leave no survivors.”

Lawless. Murder.

Pete Hegseth is Secretary of Defense *because* he championed war criminals. Literal war criminals convicted of heinous offenses in US courts martial. Got Trump to pardon some in term 1.

Not in spite of, because.

That's what Trump appointed, and what 50 GOP Senators (plus Vance) voted to confirm.

My new book on design for privacy is 30% off today if you buy directly from the publisher @rosenfeldmedia.com.
I really believe this book fills a gap among digital design and UX books.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Like JK Rowling, Linehan is writer who created an episodic effort with real cultural impact that was beloved by its fans but he decided to blow up all his accumulated good will by becoming a rabid transphobe.
Graham Linehan is a normal and well man.

If you think they can be reformed, ask your family how they would feel if they never saw you today.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.
