Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all

Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant. ‘Scampi’ means “shrimp” so ‘shrimp scampi’ is basically “shrimp shrimp.” Sahara Desert = Desert Desert chai tea = tea tea naan bread = bread bread ahi tuna = tuna tuna

There should be a strong online norm against speaking ill of children online. Does not matter if they're wearing a funny outfit or a MAGA hat or acting "gay." Being a kid can be tough and using them as fodder for jokes or clicks online, esp if you're adult, is loser behavior.

1% of people arrested by ICE have been accused of sexual assault while 24% of Trump’s Cabinet, including Trump himself, have been accused of sexual assault or have personally visited Epstein Island. And that’s just what’s been publicly released and reported, with millions of documents and emails still hidden.

Vance: It’s a huge indictment of the entire far left that they made that their cause: letting sex offenders stay on the streets of America

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans. That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference? The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

Yulia Navalnaya@yulia_navalnaya·
Scientists from five European countries have established: my husband, Alexei Navalny, was poisoned with epibatidine — a neurotoxin, one of the deadliest poisons on earth. In nature, this poison can be found on the skin of the Ecuadorian dart frog. It causes paralysis, respiratory arrest, and a painful death. I was certain from the first day that my husband had been poisoned, but now there is proof: Putin killed Alexei with chemical weapon. I am grateful to the European states for the meticulous work they carried out over two years and for uncovering the truth. Vladimir Putin is a murderer. He must be held accountable for all his crimes.

Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx
In the 1940s and 1950s, thousands of children were classified as mentally ill and sent to psychiatric institutions in Quebec. Over one-third were falsely labelled so that the province could collect federal subsidies. This is the story of the Duplessis Orphans. 🧵 1/10
