A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.

Start with any code. You'll see titles the homepage has never shown you. Not because they're bad because the algorithm decided other titles would keep you watching longer.
😳 Trump just flubbed his way through his meeting with Zelenskyy, at various points referring to the "Islamic Republic of Japan," repeatedly calling Zelenskyy "President Putin," and railing against the "JCPOC"
Here's the blooper reel:
For the past year, MAGA has been screaming “Europoor” like a cheap car alarm going off at three in the morning. Nobody asked for it, nobody knows how to turn it off.
But then along comes this chart.
America sits at number four in average wealth. Except “average” is the statistic billionaires hide behind. Put Elon Musk in a room with 500 broke MAGA guys, and on average, everyone in that room is a multibillionaire. That’s the trick!
Now look at the median. The actual middle American, the real one with the pickup truck, the missing teeth and the medical debt. Fourteenth place. Behind Belgium. Behind Italy. Behind Spain. And the ordinary European? The man MAGA calls a Europoor pays $9 for his insulin, glances over at the American paying $900 for the exact same vial, shrugs, and goes back to being more than twice as wealthy. He’d feel sorry for you, but honestly, he’s too busy being on vacation.
And that gap between fourth and fourteenth? That’s not a statistical quirk. That’s the entire scam laid bare. America’s wealth exists. It’s just not yours. It belongs to about eleven people in Palo Alto, and you’ve been guarding it for them for free, like an unpaid nightclub bouncer, shouting at Europeans on the internet while the owners drink champagne inside.
American exceptionalism. No other nation on Earth has ever been this successfully convinced to cheer for its own fleecing.
So by all means, keep shouting Europoor. We’ll be over here with our healthcare, our six weeks of vacation, and our double-your-median wealth, trying very hard to hear you over the sound of how sorry we feel.
A NATO-aligned think tank recently carried out a global poll asking who is the greatest threat to the world.
They didn't get the answer they were expecting:
I heard this story once about a teacher who took a fish out of its bowl and left a classroom of children as it flopped around.. telling them that if anyone left their seat, they would be expelled. All of the children sat and watched as this fish flopped gasping for air, not wanting to get up in order to avoid getting in trouble. Finally, a girl sprang up from her seat and ran to the fish, placing it back in the bowl. Ultimately, she was the only one who refused to watch the fish die.
When the teacher returned he told the class that this was a lesson. That the fear of getting in trouble should never stop you from doing what's right. That sometimes.. you may have to oppose authority and group think, simply because it's the right thing to do.
I think of this often about Palestine and Lebanon.
Thinking back to when John Howard was Treasurer... he has a unique experience of simultaneously delivering double digit inflation, double digit unemployment rate and double digit interest rates...
A trifecta we will never see again
The US loves to boast about how wealthy it is, but its wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
US oligarchs are so insanely rich that they make average wealth seem very high.
But *median* wealth in the US is lower than in Slovenia & Portugal, and half of Italy's
Net govt debt hit a peace-time peak of 28.3% of GDP at June 2021.
At June 2026, it is approx 18.75% of GDP
Excellent progress in cutting debt in 5 short years
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Since 1978, every U.S. president has had to file annual disclosure reports listing all of their holdings and all the money they made the past year, and I just want to put in perspective for you what these often look like. This, right here was the last financial disclosure report for President Barack Obama. It is 8 PAGES long, thats it, 8 PAGES long, and this BEHEMOTH right here is Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure report. It is more than 900 PAGES long, and this financial disclosure is almost 700 PAGES longer than the one he filed in 2024, which basically means that the current president has made A WHOLE LOT of money since taking office…The Trump administration claims that this is all above board, totally legitimate, nothing to see here.”🙄
As a 20 year ER/Trauma RN, let me tell you a little bit about CPR that none of the tv shows will.
To do proper CPR, you have to push down on the chest HARD & fast. If you’re doing it correctly on anyone over the age of 70, multiple ribs will be broken and the sternum bruised. When you have multiple broken ribs, we call it “flail chest” and even if the person gets back a heartbeat, they’ll be unable to breathe properly because the chest cavity is no longer supported. So, you’ll likely need to be intubated rapidly and we sometimes break off your teeth in the process. It’s not pretty. It’s not peaceful. And it sure as hell isn’t painless.
Now, all of that is if you have your heart stop while in the hospital and you get a trained team. For patients over 80, if you need pre-hospital CPR, your survival rate is about 2%. Even if you do survive, your life is a living hell. You can’t laugh, breathe, cough or sneeze for up to a year without severe pain. You likely lost brain function due to the time without oxygen. Your mobility is impaired because you’ve been in bed for so long and many will never get out of bed again.
But @SenMcConnell ’s people want us to believe he’s already up and functioning as a member of Congress. I call bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. The man was gorked for the last 5 years and there’s no way he’s miraculously healthy enough to vote on matters that impact our country after this.
He must be removed immediately. Isn’t fair to him or us to continue this farce.
Lastly, if you’re over 70, I beg you not to be a full code (make sure your loved ones know you don’t want CPR or intubation) and for the love of God, if you’re over 80, make sure you’re a DNR and have your POLST form on your refrigerator, in your wallet, and in your medical records so your poor family doesn’t have to make the decision for you. There’s nothing worse than being forced to break the chest of a frail granny because the kids are too sad to let her go or because the asshole grandkids want more time to have her write them into the will.
