Texas Private Schools Hire Relatives and Enrich Insiders. Soon They Can Do It With Taxpayer Money.

Israel is exterminating #journalism in Gaza, prior to enacting its final solution...

it was a “double-tap” strike by Israel. Hitting Dalloul’s family home then hitting the rescuers once they arrived.

It comes 24 hours after Israel assassinated the entire, remaining Al Jazeera crew in Gaza City."

We asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies.

The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” information that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.”

The Guardian signed a partnership with OpenAI in February this year. BTW: They never published this fact on their own site.
http://openai.com/index/openai-and-guardian-media-group-launch-content-partnership/

A year before they have published an article about their approach to GenAI-tools, very much in contrast with their contract with OpenAI.

I will stop supporting the Guardian and so should you.

Remembering the Incredible Life of DIY Geneticist Jill Viles

In 2013, ProPublica reporter David Epstein was contacted by a woman with a wild story and a batch of photos she believed were clues to the mystery of her condition. Turns out, she was right.
