Cardinal Zuppi read the names of every child who passed away in Gaza. It took him 7 hours.

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth: That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates.

Just off the top of my head it makes it more likely that cancer will kill me or a loved one because his wealth led directly to cancer research being cut
What effect does Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire have on your life?

This is absolutely insane. A "biolab" is a place where diseases (plant, animal, and human) are studied - kind of like the numerous BIOLABS across the US studying screwworm outbreaks and effective drugs to use to combat it. Framing literal normal science as some kind of sinister plot is psychotic.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

My tattoo— Let me explain, because I have now been asked this 1000s of times. My Mom was from Skaneateles Lake. My grandparents owned and ran the Hunter Diner in Auburn, NY. Beau and I spent our summers with my grandparents on Owasco Lake. It’s my favorite place in the world. It is home to me. I tattooed the map on my back. Sorry QAnon / 4chan / Insane Twitter.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI violated Canada’s privacy laws and, at one point, was generating more than 6,000 sexual deepfakes every hour, according to Canada’s privacy commissioner.

Perhaps it was a bad idea to just gut the programs that kept these parasites out? Just a thought.
The CDC has declared a national emergency as screwworm cases spread.

Stunning capture 😻😍
St. John's is known for its fog. The fog was thick enough that the houses would disappear and reappear. The lights from the houses and harbour cut through it just enough to give a sense of what was hiding beyond.

He is bailing out Sam Altman. OpenAI cant IPO because they are massively in debt and dont make any money so Altman runs to the White House begging for a bailout and magically 3 days later we get this. This is the TARP bailouts all over again lol How "rich" did we get after '08
JUST IN: Trump announces the government will seek equity stakes in top AI companies to make the public “very rich”

Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa. Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul. THEN they branded him a terrorist. A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.
They denied him a visa, then branded him a terrorist.

Brooke Rollins says DHS wants to put "AI on drones" to detect screwworm

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order. DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut. Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office. Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back." The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch. Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded. The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed. Until it didn't.
Trump's agriculture secretary laid the blame for the outbreak on the Biden administration, despite it being more than 17 months since Biden's term ended. thedailybeast.com/brooke-rol…

Let’s normalize interviewing experts on the topic instead of people based on their online popularity or money hoarding (aka the billionaire class).

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X. We shouldn't be sacrificing our cherished public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.
