Tech media site CNET has been publishing the articles since November, and lots of readers don't seem to have noticed. The publication mentioned on its website that it doesn’t compromise on its journalistic integrity and that a team of editors is involved in the editorial process “from ideation to publication.” Ironically, Jackson Ryan, a reporter for the tech and news site wrote an article on the website last month where he said that journalism jobs are safe from being pounced on by technology when talking about ChatGPT and artificial intelligence. “It definitely can’t do the job of a journalist,” Ryan...

Dr. Wallace Manheimer, a man with a physics PhD from MIT and 50-years of experience in nuclear research, warns that "there is certainly no scientific basis for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. Electric cars, wind and solar power–all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences." The United Kingdom's nincompoop King Charles, a man who once aspired to be a tampon, lives in several palaces and jets around the world calling for the end of consumerism and convenience as "the only rational...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear an appeal by an evangelical Christian former mail carrier in Pennsylvania who accused the U.S. Postal Service of religious bias after being reprimanded for refusing to deliver packages on Sundays. The justices took up Gerald Groff's case after lower courts dismissed his claim that the Postal Service violated federal anti-discrimination law by refusing to exempt him from working on Sundays, when he observes the Sabbath... ...Groff sued the Postal Service in 2019. The Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year threw out the case, finding that exempting Groff caused...

President Biden has returned to the scene of the crime.

It’s clear now that both impeachments of Donald Trump were shabby partisan affairs that will be remembered as shameful episodes in American history. But they happened, and that’s that — or is it? Now House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has suggested that the impeachments could be “expunged.” Mediaite reported Friday that McCarthy “said at his first official presser in the job that he and the House GOP majority might ‘look at’ the idea of expunging ex-president Donald Trump’s impeachments.” If this could actually be done, it would be a matter of simple justice. The first impeachment was over a phone call...

A Canadian accountant has been ordered by a court to repay her employer after time-tracking software found that she was misrepresenting the hours she worked. The Guardian reports that Karlee Besse, a Canadian woman, was found by a court to have lied about the number of hours she had worked based on spyware that tracked her activities, and was consequently ordered to pay her former employer, Reach CPA, for “time theft.” Besse, a British Columbian accountant who worked remotely, was fired from her position last year.... ...Besse’s work laptop had “TimeCamp” employee tracking software installed to track the hours...

President Joe Biden marked Religious Freedom Day on Friday by issuing a proclamation in which, among other things, he talked about his own religious faith. “Faith has sustained me throughout my life,” Biden said. “For me and for so many others, it serves as a reminder of both our collective purpose and potential in the world,” he said. “But for far too many people within our borders and beyond, practicing their faith still means facing fear and persecution,” Biden said. “Today, let us recommit ourselves to ending this hate. And let us work together to ensure that people of all...

The Chinese government is buying shares in Alibaba, Tencent and other tech companies to be more deeply involved in their businesses, sources told the Financial Times. The stakes usually involve a 1% holding in a key segment and are known as "special management shares," which give Beijing rights over certain decisions at the companies. That allows the Communist Party to gain greater influence...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most epic troll I have ever seen. A pro Ukrainian protester destroyed in such a hilarious fashion I am still laughing. Epic level stuff. Makes the Jonathan Swift work seem piker.

When First Lady Jill Biden was in Mexico City on Sunday, she went with Mexican First Lady Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller to pay homage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Protectress of the Unborn. “Began my trip to Mexico City with a visit to the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe,” Jill Biden said in a tweet, which featured a photograph of her standing in front of the framed image of the Virgin Mary as she had appeared to the Mexican peasant, Juan Diego, in 1531. […] St. Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe...

This war is one that Russia cannot win in any meaningful sense. Putin's foreign military successes around the world after 2008 were all achieved by using small units of elite forces, mercenaries and local militia groups alongside air power. This gave Moscow considerable leverage at low cost during interventions in Georgia, Syria, and twice in Ukraine during 2014, first in illegally annexing Crimea and then in creating self-declared Russian statelets in Luhansk and Donetsk. In every case, Russia moved swiftly and ruthlessly in ways the western world was unable to counter except through graduated sanctions regimes - nothing that could...

A year ago today I made this post (in the link below the title above) about the disgraceful exclusion from the Australian Open of world number one tennis player at that time, Novak Djokovic, because he refused to surrender his bodily autonomy and get the "compulsory" vaccination. Forget the politicized over focus on the excesses of January 6, 2020, in Washington, but remember January 2022 in Melbourne, Australia if you want a better world. Seeing gorgeous, God-fearing Monica almost every day at the Free Nole protests (Nole is Novak's Serbian nickname) was one of the great pleasures of that time...

A half-naked man wearing a Speedo popped into the background of an Arizona counselor's Zoom call during a meeting of the Pima County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. Openly Gay County Supervisor Dr. Matt Heinz, 45, who previously served in the Obama administration, joined the meeting remotely from a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

A Virginia police chief is blasting a prosecutor for dropping and agreeing to expunge charges against a megachurch pastor caught last year in a prostitution sting, calling the actions “bewildering.” Chesterfield County Police Chief Jeffrey S. Katz issued a lengthy statement Tuesday, challenging Commonwealth Attorney Stacey Davenport’s handling of prostitution charges against John D. Blanchard, pastor of Rock Church International in Virginia Beach. “When someone: 1. Rents a car, 2. Texts a phone number posted on a known sex worker website, 3. Solicits a ‘qv’ (‘John’ lingo for a ‘quick visit’), 4. Makes multiple inquiries if the person he’s texting...
