If you thought that airline prices were going to go down once the price of fuel dropped, then you still don't understand the corporate greed that price gouged us during Covid, and kept prices high after it.

The USA has been involved in three Republican wars since the last time the Federal Minimum Wage was raised.

But school lunches for kids will bankrupt the country.

One of the finest written and performed scenes in sitcom history. Philip Baker Hall gives an unforgettable, all-time great performance. Widely considered the best one-episode guest star in Seinfeld history—Lt. Bookman, the Library Cop. 🥨📚 Sheer perfection. Enjoy.

The reason Trump is allowed to keep doing these things is because of a little known legal trick called “no one is fucking stopping him”

Tom Dundon putting his entire family's names onto the Stanley Cup, before all the players and staff and even omitting equipment manager bobby gorman who’s been with the canes organization since they were the whalers in 1976 is just disgusting.

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.

I’m perfectly fine with Meta collapsing and burning to the ground.

Maybe we're not imagining it.

Get ready for rolling blackouts across the U.S. due to AI and the massive data centers straining the grid. This is the dystopian world tech billionaires want where humanity is kept in the dark so their AI robots can surveil us, replace us, and eventually hunt us down.

Prices skyrocket immediately but if they ever drop it's as slow as possible. Gas stations use market pricing software to be "competitive" with neighboring stations however when those prices don't reflect lower costs, all neighboring stations prices stay elevated. Its algorithmic price-fixing. This shit needs to stop.

What an incredible story coming out of Switzerland this morning!

#NJDevils captain Nico Hischier helped rescue a family in distress on the Aare River in Bern.

A family with two children ran into trouble when their inflatable boat became stranded near a dam, prompting a police response. Hischier was nearby and joined others in helping with the rescue.

A witness described Nico's actions as "heroic," but in true Nico fashion, he downplayed his role, saying he was simply happy everyone made it out safely and, that, of course, many others helped as well.

This might be the most Nico story of all time.

Here's the story in Swiss German:

Any data center that a forces rate increase should have to cover every penny of it. Why are ratepayers picking up the energy tab for major corporations?

Spain is showing spine to the world. 🇪🇸🔥

🇺🇸Trump today: "The U.S. will cut all trade with Spain due to the airspace closures during the Iran war."

🇪🇸Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: "We don't care. Go to hell. We will find other partners, but we will not support the U.S. and Israel's illegal war against Iran."

Spine: 100%
Courage: 100%
