Two tiny, remote #Antarctic outposts populated by penguins and #seals are among the obscure places targeted by the Trump #administration's new tariffs.
The penguins are understandably pissed off.
It's hard to say who is the craziest head of state with all the crazy politicians in the world.
#Ozturk is among several people with ties to American universities who attended demonstrations or publicly expressed support for Palestinians during the war in #Gaza and who recently had #visas revoked or been stopped from entering the U.S. She was one of four students who wrote an op-ed in The Tufts Daily last year criticizing the #university’s response to student activists’ demands.
Lawyers for a Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey who was detained by immigration authorities have argued that her case should be handled by the federal court in Massachusetts
From mid-2022 to mid-2023, the 34 mines consumed 32.3 terawatt-hours of #electricity — 33% more than Los Angeles—85% of which came from #fossil #fuels.
The paper maps air pollution from power plants supplying electricity to US Bitcoin mines. It finds that 1.9 million people in 2022-2023 breathed toxic amounts of Bitcoin mine attributable pollution, particularly around New York City and Houston.
Two of the people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats. All four said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed.
Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal #government to force #online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump #WhiteHouse carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political #agenda.
#Trump’s national #security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a #crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.
Don't forget that #Hillary was smart enough to use her own #email server.
A prominent computer #scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on #cryptography, #privacy, and #cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his #professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his #employer, #Indiana #University, and had his homes raided by the #FBI. No one knows why.
#Senators last week had conceded to eliminate the income tax, but only with economic growth “triggers” as safeguards — the tax wouldn’t phase out unless the state saw robust economic growth and controlled spending. It would have likely taken many years.
Or so they thought. The Senate bill had typos that essentially nullified the growth triggers and would eliminate the income tax nearly as quickly as the House proposed. The House passed the flawed bill on to the governor, who signed it into law Thursday.
Gov. Tate Reeves has signed a bill to overhaul Mississippi’s tax system, aiming to eliminate the state income tax in about 14 years. Reeves says it will attract corporate investment and workers. The law reduces the income tax rate gradually.
“On March 15, although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, #AbregoGarcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,”
Key #evidence deleted in case against ex-military man who spied on Julian #Assange for #CIA, says expert report
A hard drive in which the Spanish #police dumped the contents of David Morales’ phones was allegedly tampered with while in the custody of the High Court. Over 17,000 email messages have disappeared

Emmanuel Lidden, 24, to learn fate after breaching nuclear non-proliferation laws by shipping samples of radioactive material to parents’ suburban home
There was no difference in the total weekly number of PCIs performed for AMI for either the fall or spring time changes in the time period analysed. After adjustment for trend and seasonal effects, the Monday following spring time changes was associated with a 24% increase in daily AMI counts (p=0.011), and the Tuesday following fall changes was conversely associated with a 21% reduction (p=0.044). No other weekdays in the weeks following DST changes demonstrated significant associations.
Prior research has shown a transient increase in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after daylight savings time (DST) in the spring as well as a decrease in AMI after returning to standard time in the fall. These findings have not ...
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
From page 25: "It is important to note that as an AI language model, I can provide a general perspective, but you should consult with medical professionals for personalized advice..."
I don’t think all AI is bad, but I do think without #regulation and a solution to its negative environmental impact, it’s a dangerous, slippery slope that needs to be addressed now.
@Friendica Support Die folgende #Frage hatte ich schon einmal gestellt, sie aber irrtümlich wieder gelöscht:
Ich habe mir einen zusätzlichen #Circle eingerichtet, den ich nur als #Feedreader nutzen will. #Feeds, die dort landen, werden jedoch nicht in diesem Circle angezeigt, sondern unter "Alle Kontakte bzw. Kontakte". Was muss ich tun, um die Feeds nur in diesem neuen Circle anzuzueigen und den Rest unter "Alle Kontakte"?
Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the worst #actress of them all? And if they haven't died, they're still rebooting today ...
On the one hand I'm always happy when the right-wingers are busy with something unimportant, on the other hand it's a children's movie (is there anything less important to get mad about in the current crisis situation).
Ultimately, this all is too woke mob will ensure that we get even more franchises and that #Hollywood risks even less with new ideas. This will give us an even more unpalatable mishmash and less entertainment. So let the kids have their movies and tone down your racism ...
According to data from several internet monitoring websites, the outages were observed Thursday across multiple Russian regions, particularly in the #Urals and #Siberia, affecting platforms such as #TikTok, #Steam, #Twitch, #EpicGames, #Duolingo and major Russian #mobile operators.
Website outages were observed across Russia this week, with regulators attributing them to issues with foreign servers. Observers said the problems might be tied to Russian government moves to block Cloudflare services.
When the Norwegian user Arve Hjalmar Holmen wanted to find out if ChatGPT had any information about him, he was confronted with a made up #horror story: ChatGPT presented the complainant as a convicted criminal who murdered two of his children and attempted to murder his third son. To make matters worse, the #fake story included real elements of his personal #life.
We are writing to encourage our international students and scholars on temporary visas and U.S. permanent residents (green card holders) to consider postponing or delaying international travel, whether personal, academic, or professional, until additional guidance is available.
A new four-lane #highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the #COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of #Belém.
Ananias says she was separated from her American boyfriend, shouted at and mocked by US border officials, and detained overnight in a cold, shared holding cell without access to medication. After 22 hours of incarceration, the hammer fell: despite having broken no laws and holding the same valid B2 visa under which she previously hiked the #PCT and #CDT, she was deported back to Germany and handed a five-year ban on re-entering the United States.
