“Librarians are reporting this overall atmosphere of confusion and lack of trust they’re experiencing from their patrons,” Macrina told 404. “They’re seeing patrons having seemingly diminished critical thinking and curiosity. They’re definitely running into some of these psychosis and other mental health issues, and certainly seeing the people who are more widely adopting it also being those who have less digital literacy about it and a general sort of loss of retention.”

Bold of the writer to assume there was ever corporate responsibility after a certain scale.

Biologists at The University of Texas at Austin, who have reported discovering a bird that's the natural result of a green jay and a blue jay's mating, say it may be among the first examples of a hybrid animal that exists because of recent changing patterns in the climate. The two different parent species are separated by 7 million years of evolution, and their ranges didn't overlap as recently as a few decades ago.

Brayan Ramos-Brito was the first of immigration protesters to go to trial in Los Angeles federal court.

Yesterday, two of Washington’s Democrat congress members, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Rep. Kim Schrier, betrayed the city they work in, betrayed their party and betrayed the resistance against authoritarian overreach when they sided with Trump and his Republican cronies to approve a bill to tighten the Trump Administration's fascist grip on the City of Washington, D.C.. Gluesenkamp Perez, who we must conclude picked her party affiliation based on what color she preferred, also joined Republ

Four people were rescued from a boat off the coast of Portugal after the vessel was rammed by orcas, in the third incident involving killer whales in a week. Portugal’s Coastal and Border Control Unit (UCCF) rescued four people from the boat on Monday after they were alerted to “repeated strikes on its bow caused by killer whales”, the National Guard (GNR) said.

“It is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech," Khalil, a former Columbia University grad student, said in a statement.

Baseball tends to present the first men to crack the sport’s shameful racial barrier through a gauzy lens, their caps topped with a halo. There is the sanctified Jackie Robinson, and his Brooklyn teammates Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella; there’s Larry Doby, the first black player in the American League, and the many others who weren’t Hall of Famers. These were three-dimensional people who in many cases lived wild and eventful American lives, but the monstrous vastness of the bigotry they pierced has, in retrospect, flattened their specific individual foibles and idiosyncrasies, and their poor qualities, too. Among that elite group of barrier-breaking pioneers, one was such a complex mixture of talent and trouble that his life defies any kind of tidy categorization. As a result, he’s almost completely forgotten today, although he was the third African-American to play in the bigs. The halo doesn’t quite fit Hank Thompson. He was a talented and pioneering ballplayer, but where Jackie Robinson turned the other cheek, Thompson carried a gun.

On Saturday, the chairman of the Republican Party in Michigan's Oakland County spent his afternoon directing his online followers' attention to local businesses that had not lowered their flags to half staff to honor the memory of the slain conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump had issued that order, "for all American flags," earlier in the day, in a post on the Playskool version of Twitter where he does such things. "Maintaining a flag is a responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly," the GOP chairman, Vance Patrick, wrote. "Post anyone who isn’t taking it seriously in this thread." Patrick became the change he wanted to see by naming and shaming a garden center, tire store, and car wash; in his mentions are pictures, clearly taken through the windows of a car, of a McDonald's and an Aloft hotel in Park City, Utah, and of a second Michigan car wash, and of a Methodist church in Illinois. By Twitter's own accounting, just a few hundred people saw Patrick's posts, and only a few dozen saw the replies. That Patrick is, and pardon the political science jargon here, "just some squeaker" both is and isn't salient. Whether Patrick was able to make trouble for the offending garden center or tire store, whose phone numbers he provided with that goal in mind, the more meaningful part is that he understood it as his civic obligation to try. Or, maybe, he was just some squeaker scrabbling around for clout at the expense of a stranger. It is increasingly difficult to tell the difference. There aren't really central tenets to Trumpism, at least beyond the bigoted defaults of the stupid and spiteful stripe of the American Elite from which Trump himself emerged; that absence of ethos, at least beyond the belief that it is the absolute and natural right of that rancid elect to prey upon everyone and everything else, constructs a perverse permission structure of its own. Trump did not invent any of this so much as it invented him, and the fantasy of Trumpism, for those who have remade or simply discovered themselves in the service of it, is that Trump's followers might through their service claim for themselves the same privileges that Trump himself has so delighted in abusing. This is not how it works for followers, though, or with Trump; those who live to serve him have always very clearly been destined to be buried alive with him. It is, in every degrading sense, a sort of American Dream.

'Jimmy Kimmel Live' was taken off air by ABC and Nexstar after Trump’s FCC chair called on broadcasters to stop airing the show.

The authors assess the growing field of climate change health impact attribution. They show literature bias towards direct heat effects and extreme weather in high-income countries, highlighting the lack of global representation in current efforts.

“Do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler,” Fetterman told Baier. “You will incite somebody to say, ‘Well, now I feel like I have to stop that, to get them out.’”

Every year, former astronauts like me are invited back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to get a flight physical. NASA is still collecting data from us to better understand the long-term effects of human spaceflight. I look forward to this trip every year as an opportunity to enjoy the comradery of my former NASA colleagues and our shared optimism about our future in space. But this year I found an environment of fear and uncertainty that struck me as a serious safety concern.
