🚨BREAKING: Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has filed for a new trial in the death of George Floyd.
Supporters of the motion argue that key medical evidence—including Floyd's fentanyl use and underlying health issues—was not given proper weight and believe Chauvin deserves a new trial.
I agree. He does. Let . Him. Go!! They won't, though, because they are too afraid of riots.
40 out of 86 Brown students scored a perfect 100 on their midterm. Then the professor moved the final in person, and 22 of those perfect scorers never showed up again.
He'd suspected AI cheating from the start. The take-home midterm was deliberately harder than usual, yet the class averaged 96 when the historical range is 65 to 80. Some answers contained odd phrasing that matched what ChatGPT produced when he ran the questions through it himself.
Roberto Serrano has taught economics at Brown for 34 years. He filed no accusations. He announced the final would be in person, count for half the grade, and that if the two distributions didn't match, the final alone would determine grades.
Then the exodus. 27 students never showed up. 22 of them had perfect midterms. Of the 59 who did show, 19 failed. Several signed the exam and turned it in blank. The average fell from 96 to 48, the lowest in the course's history.
He never needed a plagiarism detector. The cheaters identified themselves by walking away. A grade distribution became a confession.
Here's the part nobody's sitting with. Serrano proved it. He sent the distributions to Brown's dean and provost. The provost never responded. The academic committee's reply amounted to calling it "a wake-up call." The students who bailed before the final walked away clean.
Every university in America is now grading two populations, students and students plus ChatGPT, on one curve. The honest kids in Serrano's class watched a 96 average get set by machines, then sat a real final against it. The cheaters lost nothing. That's the incentive structure now, and it grades itself.
BREAKING: A U.S. judge has approved Elon Musk’s settlement with the SEC over his 2022 Twitter share disclosure case.
A trust set up in Musk’s name will pay a $1.5 million fine. The judge approved the agreement, bringing the case to an end.
Walter Isaacson on Elon Musk’s greatest strengths:
“One of the things that Elon is successful because of is his ability to iterate, to take risks, and to conduct experiments,
Starship, the biggest rocket ever made, has launched twice. Both times it exploded
The media called it failure, Elon called both launches a success
His(Elon’s) philosophy is simple “If you’re not failing 20% of the time, you’re not risking enough”
Every flight is a deliberate experiment: push the limits, see what breaks, learn fast, fix fast
Risk-averse cultures like NASA, Boeing, and Lockheed don’t experiment enough
Real innovation requires embracing the unknown and taking real risks
This is how he changes the world”
He was two weeks old.
He had not learned to laugh.
He had not learned to roll over.
He had not learned anything yet.
He was knifed to death in his own home, in the arms of a family that had no chance.
His mother was knifed too. She was 23.
His grandmother was knifed too. She was 54.
Three generations of one family. Erased in a single afternoon.
The man arrested for it was an illegal immigrant who had already been deported once.
He came back.
A year before the killings, he was arrested for his fourth DUI.
ICE asked California to hold him.
California released him.
There is a sentence the sheriff actually said in public after this:
"It was just a DUI."
A two-week-old infant is now dead because four drunk-driving arrests, by a man who had already been deported once, was treated as "just" anything.
He should be alive.
His mother should be alive.
His grandmother should be alive.
God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.
A 12-year-old girl sneaks out to walk to the corner store.
That is the whole crime she ever committed. She was twelve. She was on the phone with a boy she liked.
June 16, 2024. Houston, Texas.
Two men start talking to her on the street. They lead her under a bridge. They keep her there for more than two hours.
The next morning she is found in the shallow water of a creek. Strangled.
Now here is the part that should keep you up at night.
Both men had already been caught by Border Patrol that same year. One in March. One in May.
Caught. And released. Caught. And released. With a notice to appear in court, years away.
One of them had been in this country for less than three weeks when she died.
Read that again. Less than three weeks.
The system met her killers before she ever did. It held them in its hands. It opened its hands.
Her mother stood in front of Congress and said it out loud: if they had been held, my daughter would be alive.
She loved animals. So this country renamed a national wildlife refuge in Texas after her. Herons and marsh grass and quiet water, carrying the name of a 12-year-old girl.
Jocelyn should be feeding the ducks there, not written on the sign.
She should be alive.
God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.
He lays out a vision that depends on two simultaneous shifts: launching what he calls the new space economy, and doing it through international cooperation rather than competition. The argument is straightforward. If humanity can align around shared inspiration and motivation, the results will be what he describes as borderline miraculous. The potential is already here. The treasure trove exists. What stands in the way is not capability but coordination. We are, in his view, squandering that potential by fighting over differences that are fundamentally manufactured. The implication is clear: the barriers are not technical or resource-based. They are cultural and political. And those barriers, unlike the laws of physics, can be dismantled by choice.
One man who sacrificed everything to save free speech.
In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, walked in carrying a sink, and fired 80% of the staff in a week — yet the platform kept running.
Do you stand with Elon?
A. Yep
B. No
