NBC: “This new U.N.-commissioned report carried out by a committee of independent experts says Israeli troops deliberately shot at Palestinian children and carried out genocide and war crimes… over 21,000 children died.”

[BeshearStan @BeshearStan]

Reminder that NY-10 is *the most Jewish district in America*, and voters still rejected pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman by 30+ points for Brad Lander, who called Gaza a genocide and wants to cut off all weapons to Israel.

Jewish people aren’t falling for rabid Zionism

France recorded a high of 44.6°C today.

That’s so far beyond anything seen in the historical record, a 4.2 sigma deviation from the norm that it gives a return period of 87 thousand years.

It’s really difficult to convey just how utterly extreme this is.

Israeli soldiers use young boys for "target practice." As in, Mondays, we shoot the stomach, Tuesdays, the knees, etc.

This was reported last year by the BBC and now corroborated by the United Nations' report.

A student submitted an essay she wrote by hand. Her university ran it through an AI detector. The detector said she cheated. She is autistic.

Her name is Moira Olmsted. Adelphi University. February 2026. Turnitin flagged her essay as 100% AI-generated. She was disciplined.

Two other AI detectors classified the same essay as human-written.

She sued. She won. The court called the school's decision "arbitrary and capricious."

She is not the only one.

In May 2026, a high school student in Palo Alto was expelled after an AI detector flagged his work. He faced visa revocation. He filed a federal civil rights lawsuit.

A researcher at Griffith University just proved mathematically why this keeps happening. The paper is on arXiv. The finding is one sentence.

AI text detectors have a structural flaw that no amount of better engineering can fix.

Here is what the math says.

If a university wants its detector to catch 80% of cheaters, at least 750 out of every 10,000 innocent students will be wrongly accused. That is not a software problem. It is a theorem.

If the university tries to limit false accusations to 1%, detection power collapses to 6%. It catches 6 out of every 100 AI-written papers. The other 94 get through.

There is no setting where the detector is both fair and effective.

The reason is diversity. Every student writes differently. Non-native English speakers use simpler vocabulary. Shorter sentences. Clearer structures. So does AI. A Stanford study found that 61.3% of TOEFL essays written by non-native English speakers were misclassified as AI-generated. A separate analysis tested 14 commercial detection tools. Zero out of 14 reached 80% accuracy.

The students most likely to be wrongly accused are non-native English speakers, neurodivergent students, and anyone who writes with clarity and precision. The qualities that make their writing effective are the same qualities the detector mistakes for a machine.

Vanderbilt University understood this. They disabled Turnitin's AI detection in 2023 after calculating that even a 1% error rate across 75,000 submissions would produce 750 wrongful accusations per year.

750 students accused of cheating for writing like themselves.

The paper's conclusion is not that we need better detectors. It is that the diversity of human writing itself makes accurate detection mathematically impossible.

The same thing that makes your writing yours is the thing that gets you accused.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed.

This video shows three young men trying to help an injured person, but Israel bombs them with a missile, killing them all.

A moment the world must never forget.

"Donovan McKinney grew up in a UAW family, and he’s spent his career fighting for working families, not corporate donors. His economic platform is simple: if you work for a living, you should be able to afford a living. In Congress, he’ll stand on our picket lines, defend our pensions, and fight for trade policy that prioritizes Michigan's workers' needs."
— UAW Region 1 Director LaShawn English

"Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power. He's committed to fighting for Medicare for All in Congress because he knows that no worker should ever have to choose between a paycheck and their family’s health. He won't back down on that fight, along with many other critical fights for us in Washington.” — UAW Region 1A Director Mark DePaoli"Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power.

"... American Axle workers are still taking home about half of what they earned before 2008. Exploitation has significantly deepened, and workers are feeling the squeeze, with some reporting that they had to sleep in their cars because the pay is so low."

🎥 Professor Rashid Khalidi on the dangers of “purity politics” and why meaningful political change requires broad coalitions, strategic alliances, and building power beyond politics as “self-satisfaction.”

Khalidi says that if the goal is to stop arms sales, advance divestment, and shift policy, movements cannot remain trapped in a “tiny, ineffective minority.”

So no one’s gonna raise the possibility that Duggan’s drop could (or should) have anything to do with the widening toxic dirt scandal clouding his signature demo program in Detroit? The one that’s had people drawing comparisons to Flint? Ok I will: https://t.co/tBv3VtEdbY

@UAW Duggan was not entitled to speak at the governors forum. His name is not on the August 4 primary ballot. That’s because he decided to leave the Democratic Party to run as an independent in November. Were other independents invited to the forum? Why did he get the privilege?

A small town in Michigan voted against a massive Data Center but the developers are moving ahead with the project anyway

Your vote literally doesn’t even matter, they’re just going to do whatever they want

It’s a huge $16 billion project for OpenAI and Oracle. Last September, Saline Township board members voted 4 to 1 against allowing a proposal for an AI data center to proceed

The land has been zoned agricultural for decades, even hundreds of years. They didn't want it to become anything industrial

Now 575 acres of farmland are being rezoned for the data center. The full campus footprint described as up to 21 million square feet. It’s one of the largest construction projects in Michigan history

Here’s what happened

- Related Digital (the developer) proposed rezoning agricultural land
- September 2025: Saline Township Planning Commission and Board voted against it
- Just 2 days later: Related Digital sued for “exclusionary zoning”
- Township settled quickly because they were advised they couldn’t afford the ongoing lawsuit against these tech giants

The plant will use the equivalent energy of 1 million homes

Apparently energy usage and climate change aren’t a problem anymore. Funny how that works…. Just a couple years ago we were told not to use our air conditionings because we’d destroy the planet
