5. Swung & missed on autism
6. CDC disassembled
7. Biotech industry shutting down
8. Brain drain underway"

"People are being put at risk of harm by false and misleading health information in Google’s artificial intelligence summaries, a Guardian investigation has found.
The company has said its AI Overviews, which use generative AI to provide snapshots of essential information about a topic or question, are 'helpful' and 'reliable'."

Trump: "They shouldn't say 'oh, gee, maybe it's not constitutional.'"
Yet another reminder that undermining the Constitution is central to Trumpism.
It makes the corruption easier.

A key component of Nazi ideology was the concept of lebensraum, or "living space." This was the idea that the so-called Aryan people of Germany needed more territory (and the resources that came with it) for their "natural development."
Lebensraum was the basis the Nazis used to justify the invasion of Poland and the rest of Europe shortly thereafter.
Posting this for no reason in particular, obviously.

The night was cloudy, with a full moon. He only heard the sound of planes and one loud explosion. He woke up his friend, warning that, maybe, a military strike was starting.
Everything else was silent: just the airplanes and the explosions.
Go to the link to find out how the night unfolded, and how people across Venezuela are living through this moment.

Ben Meiselas writes to Bari Weiss and CBS:
"Your viewership appears to be down massively. In record time, you’ve destroyed the legacy of a great news institution that I admired my entire life until recently. This is all the more ironic, given that you built a successful Substack before others joined this platform, only to cause serious harm to your Substack community and destroy a legacy media brand like CBS."

@EUCommission The time has come
We need to sanction / break ties with the US
Stand up against the dictator
Sarah W reshared this.
@escarpment Yes but Trump uses it as a reason to invade a country
In comparisson to Russia and Ukraine where he seems to enable the war
This is never okay esp the way he did it
@escarpment Not in this fasion 😉
Like i said, today is it this dictator but who is it tomorrow?
I don't approve the way they handle it but also the focus is way "off wack" so tosay
overwhelmingly agree but US did manage to do this without torturing civilians to death, looting their homes, and kidnapping their children (to the best of my knowledge). Also Ukraine's leadership was democratically elected, unlike Maduro. Doesn't make this in any way defensible but there are differences.
If so, why are you, right now, doing exactly what you were mad about Russia doing?
I'm certain there's more information out there than what the rest of us know.. I, for one, am not ready to make snap judgements.

The "ceasefire" did what it was meant to do – make Gaza invisible

Mass death in Gaza continues and yet the world no longer pays attention, wrongly convinced that the genocide is over.
