Side effect of the literacy crisis is people not recognizing literary devices anymore

In Gaza, even the mosquito has become part of the daily suffering. Heat, tents, stagnant water, and harsh conditions make everything harder — even sleep is no longer peaceful. Yet people are still trying to survive through it all.

A global hunger emergency is looming. High prices and ongoing conflict linked to the Middle East crisis are pushing food beyond reach for millions. At the same time, rising costs have already forced WFP to stop assisting 1.5M people. ➡️Learn more

REPORT: Governments are now classifying massive AI data centers as “military operations,” quietly stripping communities of any power to stop them. Local control is disappearing fast. And it’s being replaced by national security justifications as residents are locked out of decisions that are quickly reshaping entire communities. Project Matador in Texas alone is expected to use up to 96 billion kWh annually—nearly half of all residential electricity in the state. And it’s just one of hundreds that are moving forward right now. In Louisiana, locals describe chaos as Meta’s expansion drives up costs and disrupts daily life. Now in Utah, the Stratos Project, backed by Kevin O’Leary and fast-tracked by Gov. Spencer Cox’s military authority, is bypassing public input entirely. Meanwhile, the technology these centers power is already raising alarms, including vehicles that can override drivers in real time through facial recognition systems. This is happening now. Watch what’s unfolding around the country before it reaches your area.

Derek Mobley applied to over 100 jobs. He was rejected from every single one. Several rejections came at 1am, within minutes of submitting. He just became the lead plaintiff in the largest AI lawsuit ever certified. May 2025, Judge Rita Lin granted preliminary certification of a nationwide ADEA collective in Mobley v. Workday. Workday's own court filings represent that 1.1 billion job applications were rejected through its software in the relevant period. The court discussed potential class size in the hundreds of millions. If you're over 40 and you applied to a Fortune 500 in the last 7 years, your application was probably processed by Workday. You may be in the class. The legal precedent matters more than the headline number. For decades, the vendor screening applicants for an employer was not directly liable under Title VII. The employer was the only defendant. In July 2024, Judge Lin ruled the AI vendor itself qualifies as an "agent" of the employer and can be sued directly. First time. The "we're just the tools" defense evaporated in a single ruling. Same precedent now extends to every HR tech AI vendor in the pipeline. Greenhouse. Eightfold. HireVue. Paradox. None of it is priced into any of their valuations. Combine that with the rest of 2024. Air Canada lost in February for $812 because its chatbot hallucinated a refund policy, killing the chatbot-as-separate-entity defense. iTutorGroup paid $365K to the EEOC, confirming the algorithm doing the discriminating moves liability nowhere. Gemini cost Alphabet roughly $90B in market cap in days for one weekend of bad image generation. Every legal shield around AI in production got tested in court and lost. The AI PMs interviewing for foundation model roles can recite all four by month. Most engineers shipping AI at work cannot.
