This heat is not only a climate emergency, it is class war. The rich burn the planet, then buy air conditioning, private pools and second homes while workers are left in overheated flats, unsafe jobs, failed public services and burning cities. Climate Action Now!
“We’ll just adapt and use more fossil fuels to keep cool”.
No. We won’t. The fish won’t. The crops won’t. The trees won’t. The livestock won’t. The rivers won’t.
Nothing can adapt to a climate that gets continuously worse.
🚨 U.S. COMMANDER QUITS: Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, has submitted his retirement papers after reportedly clashing with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to CBS News.
Donahue, a former Delta Force commander and the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan in 2021, had long been viewed as a leading candidate to become the next Army Chief of Staff.
His departure comes amid a growing wave of exits and removals of senior military leaders under the Trump regime, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Chief of Naval Operations, the Coast Guard Commandant, and other top commanders.
One former senior U.S. official called Donahue "among the most consequential commanders of his generation," while a colleague described him as "unequivocally one of our Nation's best."
Donahue is expected to retire in July.
seems like only yesterday when self-righteous Americans were shaking their heads in disgust & incredulity over German citizens who'd pretended not to know that mass incarceration & executions were being perpetrated by their Nazi leaders...
"they knew exactly what was going on," the charge went, "& they did nothing. how was that possible?"
well, now we know.
Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public.
And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired.
What a shame @sciam
Having a hydration break in the pouring rain just minutes after a long stoppage where all the players took on fluids anyway.
What a fucking farce FIFA have created.
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.

Been seeing comments about Norway having so many fans, while Senegal barely has any.
That’s because Senegalese supporters were not given visas to come to the U.S.
Even before a ball is kicked, Western/European teams already have an unfair advantage.
‘So the message comes out backwards. Spend ten days and a thousand pounds making a river cleaner and an officer turns up within the week. Pump sewage into that same river for years and the chance of seeing a courtroom is close to zero.’
I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
More than 400 Blackfeet people, from small children to respected elders, stood together on sacred ground and formed the shape of a grizzly bear — not for attention, not for fame, but for something much bigger than themselves.
They stood for the land.
For generations, Indigenous people have protected mountains, rivers, forests, and animals long before the world started talking about conservation. To them, nature is not a resource to be owned. It is family. It is spirit. It is life itself.
The grizzly bear is sacred in many Native traditions. It represents strength, wisdom, survival, and protection. So when hundreds of people joined together in this powerful formation at Badger-Two Medicine, they were sending a message the world could not ignore:
“Our land is not empty. Our culture is not forgotten. Our voices still matter.”
In a time when so much of the natural world is being destroyed for profit, moments like this remind us that there are still people willing to stand shoulder to shoulder to protect what is sacred for future generations.
No violence.
No hatred.
Just unity, culture, respect, and love for the Earth.
The image is powerful because it shows something many people have forgotten:
When humans work together with the land instead of against it, something beautiful happens.
Maybe that’s why this photo touches so many hearts across America. It is more than a protest.
It is a prayer.
A reminder.
A warning.
And a symbol of hope.
Respect Indigenous land.
Protect nature.
Listen to Native voices before more sacred places disappear forever.
If you could send ONE message to future generations about protecting the Earth, what would you say?
