"Minutes after the perpetrator of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis last week was identified, YouTube appeared to delete several videos they had shared that morning.

But not before the videos were downloaded and reshared in full on X.

Within hours, the platform was flooded with wild claims about the shooter and her motivation, with everyone from Elon Musk, the site’s owner, to the head of the FBI and left-wing activists posting half-baked allegations blaming anti-Christian hate, transgender genocide, and white supremacy. Many of the posts racked up millions of views per X’s public metrics.

While other social media platforms were also used to share unfounded claims about the shooter’s motivations, X, under Musk, has become the perfect platform to supercharge the spread of dangerous disinformation during breaking news events. The entire team tasked with tackling disinformation on the platform was first culled years ago, and now X's biggest users claim they are incentivized by the platform to share out-of-context clickbait content over verified facts."

Y’all, I have COVID. Right now. Right fucking now. My head’s pounding like a loud neighbor’s bass through the walls. Sinuses are clogged like the 405 at rush hour. This shit’s real, and it’s a real pain in the ass.

But hey, I’m recovering, and I’m alive. You know what makes that possible? Vaccines, motherfuckers! But Diet RFK is like, nah, we can’t have that. We wanna go back to the days when this shit was basically Russian roulette with 4/6 chambers loaded. Let the bodies hit the floor and fill the morgues!

Why, though? Why the fuck are these people pushing this destructive agenda so fucking hard?

approaching trans women like you want to keep it secret from other people in your life invokes a very specific image of who you are and what you want. and i have no respect for it

sure, maybe 1 times in 10 even though it quacks like a creep it is actually just some toad. but why should i care, i would rather avoid the 9 creeps than finding out yet again i don't like hanging out with toads. they're like little turrets when they try to move and they usually try and avoid me by jumping into my foot. annoying



Will Cancer Prove to be Another Weapon in Israel's War in Gaza?

"When the Second Battle of Fallujah, part of America’s nightmarish war in Iraq, ended in December 2004, the embattled city was a toxic warzone, contaminated with munitions, depleted uranium (DU), and poisoned dust from collapsed buildings. Not surprisingly, in the years that followed, cancer rates increased almost exponentially there."

Biking is like an addiction to me now.
In that it makes my leg feel worse.
But offers a pretty solid relief from the leg injury.
in reply to Flesh

Yes, my leg injury is oddly specific to the point that biking is almost entirely comfortable, but trying to walk down stairs is likely to hurt at some point.

I feel some need to clarify that while this is annoying and unpleasant, it's more Flesh Lore than venting out issues looking for sympathy. This time, at least.

@AlisonW

My daughter did AP, and I thought it was going to be like the A levels. But instead, it was an insane workload, and when talking to universities, not a single one counted it as college credit, which was the whole "selling" point of the classes. She was so burned out by the experience I had a really hard time keeping her from dropping out of school entirely. I have strong opinions about the AP program. ;)

“Contemplation” (2018) by Powerfaith

This track leans hard into the Christian side of Naga rock—no surprise, since Nagaland is the most Baptist place on Earth. But what makes it special is how it weaves in touches of indigenous melody and rhythm, folding that heritage right into the rock foundation. It’s faith-driven, but still unmistakably Naga.

Pro tip: leave it at home



"As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, coauthors Petter Törnberg, AI and social media assistant professor, and research assistant Maik Larooij simulated a social media platform that was populated entirely by AI chatbots, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o large language model, to see if there was anything we could do to stop social media from turning into echo chambers.

They tested out six specific intervention strategies — including switching to chronological news feeds, boosting diverse viewpoints, hiding social statistics like follower counts, and removing account bios — to stop the platform from turning into a polarized hellscape.

To their dismay, none of the interventions worked to a satisfactory degree, and only some showed modest effects. Worse yet, as Ars Technica reports, some of them made the situation even worse.

For instance, ordering the news feed chronologically reduced attention inequality but floated extreme content to the top.

It's a sobering reality that flies in the face of companies' promises of constructing a "digital town square" — as billionaire and X owner Elon Musk once called it — where everybody coexists peacefully.

With or without intervention, social media platforms may be doomed to devolve into a highly polarized breeding ground for extremist thinking."

"The offshore wind farm is 80% complete and was expected to begin operations next year. It has 65 turbines, would have a production capacity of 704 megawatts and would give off enough power for more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut."

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is a song with music by British musician #EltonJohn and lyrics by #BernieTaupin, from John's 1975 album #CaptainFantasticAndTheBrownDirtCowboy. It was released as a single on 20 June 1975, the only single released from the album. Like the rest of the album, the song is autobiographical, and addresses an attempted suicide by John. At 6 minutes and 45 seconds, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was twice as long as a typical single.

Why should we rent the essentials of daily life we already own? Paywalling them behind monthly fees is absurd.

Imagine being told your stove won’t cook dinner unless you’ve paid this month’s subscription, it’s the same scammy logic as locking the full performance of a car you already bought behind a monthly fee.

Enshittification is just corporations selling you the same thing twice, and calling it ‘innovation.’

This one leans into the atmospheric side of Naga rock—drenched in reverb, soaring high, but never letting go of the shredding guitars.

"A year ago, LLMs could only solve some of the easier problems on premier high school math contests. Now they have achieved gold-medal equivalent scores on the International Math Olympiad (IMO), the pinnacle of such contests. However, no LLM has solved even a single problem from the highest tier of difficulty on these contests.
(...)
Publicly available models achieve >95% on problems up to a rating of 5. These models have not fully saturated problems rated 6-7, though GPT-5 achieves >67%. The remaining gap is due to reliability, i.e., it solves each problem at least once when sampled four times. The 2025 IMO contained three problems rated 7, two rated 8, and one rated 9. Certain experimental LLMs, e.g. Google’s Deep Think, solved all but the last of these. Since this sample size is small, we also test the publicly available Deep Think model on two easily-checkable 2024 IMO problems, rated 8 and 9, and find that it fails to solve each even a single time out of 10 samples."

Omar pushes corporate taxes while husband's company skipped IRS bills: Report


The husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who advocates ensuring corporations "pay their fair share," previously owned a company that reportedly owed money to the IRS.

Tim Mynett, Omar's husband, and William R. Hailer, Mynett's business partner, operated EStreetCo, an advertising, design, and public relations business that dissolved in June 2022, according to a Thursday report from the Washington Free Beacon.

'The company has no outstanding tax obligations from the COVID era; in fact, we have a balance due to us.'

A document obtained by the news outlet revealed that in 2023, after the company's dissolution, the IRS filed a lien for nearly $206,000 in unpaid income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes.

Omar announced in February that she introduced an amendment in the House Budget Committee to "make corporations pay their fair share." The representative has opposed Republicans' budget resolution, calling it "a blueprint for American decline."

"Let's be clear: They want to exploit your labor, take your tax dollars, and gut your earned benefits — all to bankroll tax cuts for their wealthy friends and donors. They want to increase your health care costs — while Elon Musk and his friends hoard even more wealth," Omar said in February during a speech on the House floor.

The Free Beacon noted that Omar's personal wealth is as much as $30 million. In a 2021 financial disclosure, she described EStreetCo as a "creative agency," claiming that her husband's share in the firm was worth $1,000 or less.

The news outlet reported that the Sonoma County recorder does not have any record that the IRS released its lien against EStreetCo.

However, a spokesperson for EStreetCo told Blaze News, "The company has no outstanding tax obligations from the COVID era; in fact, we have a balance due to us." Documents provided by the spokesperson showed that the IRS owed the company approximately $3,000 as of September 3, 2025.

A representative for Omar did not respond to a request for comment.
