Imagine getting out of Afghanistan and dying at the hands of Trumpʼs goons.

"Arizona residents win long-sought water protections

La Paz County, Arizona, is one of the drier places in a pretty dry state....Yet this is where Fondomonte Arizona, a Saudi-owned company, purchased nearly 10,000 acres of land in 2014 to cultivate alfalfa, which it then shipped back to feed cattle in Saudi Arabia. What did Arizona provide....Free access to underground water reserves for anyone, limited only by how many wells you could afford to drill, and how deep..."

Before becoming a politician, one should complete a mandatory 1.5 years of social service, divided into three-month periods:

— in nursing care
— in a daycare center
— in a school
— in a medium-sized company
— in retail
— on a farm

All unpaid and voluntary, of course.

"We're bombing Iran to bring back Jesus"

My brother in Christ, He's already here.

He is the family of refugees you deported for failing to have their papers with them at a Walmart. (Leviticus 19:33-34)

He is the hungry kid you denied food by cutting his SNAP benefits. (Matthew 25:35)

He is the sick grandmother who can no longer afford her medication because you let DOGE plunder her social security. (Deuteronomy 10:18-19)

He is the homeless person you arrested simply for sleeping outside when he had no other option. (Zechariah 7:10)

He is the trans woman you just convicted of a "sex crime" when she did nothing but dare to exist in public. (Matthew 19:12)

He is the poor, the disadvantaged, the abandoned, the elderly, the sick, the weary, and the downtrodden. And you - yes YOU SPECIFICALLY - will be judged by Him by how you treated Him here on earth. (Matthew 25:45)

🦔 Google quietly dropped a search feature called "What People Suggest" that used AI to organize crowdsourced health advice from strangers into easy-to-understand themes. The company had said it showed "the potential of AI to transform health outcomes across the globe." A Google spokesperson told the Guardian the feature was scrapped as part of a "broader simplification" of the search page and had nothing to do with quality or safety. When asked where this was shared publicly, Google pointed to a blog post that doesn't mention the feature at all.

My Take
Google launched this thing with a blog post from their chief health officer explaining how it would help people find real insights from others with similar conditions. Now it's gone and they're pretending they announced the removal in a blog post that doesn't mention it. I find that harder to believe than just admitting the feature was a bad idea.

The whole concept was crowdsourcing medical tips from amateurs and dressing it up with AI organization. You search for health advice and Google shows you what random people on the internet suggest. This comes after the Guardian found Google's AI Overviews were showing false and misleading health information to 2 billion people a month. Google initially downplayed those findings, then quietly removed AI Overviews for some medical queries. I think they know these features have problems, they just don't want to say it out loud because it undermines the pitch that AI is ready to transform healthcare. Easier to quietly kill things and hope nobody notices.
