Just an FYI...

Krishnamoorthy, in the lead for Durbin's current seat, is one of the 75 Democrats that voted to praise ICE last year.

"AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say" - Guardian

The "research paper" was a tweet by an AI company

If you look at the iPhone 17 Pro on the Apple store, they have a drop-down that lets you compare it to phones as far back as the iPhone 13. But you *can't* compare it to any variant of last year's iPhone 16. A minor issue in comparison to all the orange on Tim Cook's lips, but still telling.

reported several armed men without identification were in

I wonder if Vladimir was the one who suggested the name "Golden Dome". He's gotten quite a lot of it from Donald over the years.
