Major dating apps like Bumble and Tinder have embraced AI, spending millions on tools that aim to enhance their efficiency and the user experience. But, one new company — the London-based Eva AI — is taking it a step further. They’re betting solely on artificial intelligence romantic partners — and think there’s a market for people who want to take their chatbot boyfriends and girlfriends out on the town. In February, the company is launching a pop-up cafe in Manhattan that they hope to make a permanent fixture. Tables will have special perches for people’s phones, so they can more...

Congressman Ro Khanna raged at billions in alleged fraud in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California when he called for a full audit of state spending seemingly aimed at the governor’s leadership. The Silicon Valley Democrat boosted claims on X of billions in fraud in California and vowed to hold congressional hearings on waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars in the state — sparking a spat with Newsom’s sassy spokesperson Izzy Gardon, who defended California’s exorbitant High-Speed Rail project that’s widely considered a boondoggle. Khanna is apparently mulling a presidential run, like Newsom, who said he is “considering” a run in 2028....

My argument: If, as a result of a procreative act, something is growing inside of a women, which has uniquely human DNA which will thus naturally result in a functional, intelligent human being (including his/her personality), and which will quite rapidly be increasingly manifest to be a human, then the logical conclusion is...

A farmer who used a telehandler to pick up a car and dump it in a road to defend his property has been cleared of dangerous driving and criminal damage. Robert Hooper, 57, had told Durham Crown Court he felt "frightened and threatened" when he took the action. He had argued an "Englishman's home is his castle", and he had been assaulted before he used his vehicle to remove the Corsa in County Durham last June.

A Minnesota daycare worker who said enrollment documents were stolen from his facility was accused of wearing $2,500 glasses at a press conference announcing the burglary. Nasrulah Mohamed, a manager at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis, seemed to be wearing a pair of Chrome Hearts Cox Ucker Black frames at a press conference Wednesday discussing the break-in. Mohamed said Nokomis was broken into after YouTube star Nick Shirley claimed Somali-run daycare centers across the city were fronts for fraud. He said that enrollment documents, staff paperwork and checkbooks had been taken. Minnesota has been engulfed by a huge scandal after...

Donald Trump sounded off about the ongoing Minnesota migrant fraud scandal and revealed where his administration believes it has found even worse corruption. The president was hosting his annual, star-studded New Year's Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago resort when he made the comments. As he addressed the gathering, he spelled out the shocking amount of government waste that had come from the state, days after a viral video blew the story wide open. 'They stole $18 billion, that's just what we're learning about. California's worse, Illinois' worse and sadly, New York's worse, a lot of other places,' he said. As...

Quantum computers have made a massive splash over the past years, with quantum computing projects racking up billions of dollars in private and public investment. But according to a small group of physicists, quantum computers will never scale to any meaningful level. Let’s take a look at their reasoning.

There is another healthcare company in the SAME SUITE as his with a different name, and multiple others at the same address, all with Somali names Of course

Strange happenings at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis. Manager Jussie Mohamed claimed that two masked men broke into the Daycare center, stole child enrollment records, employee payroll files, and torn checkbook pages and left a noose while yelling "This is MAGA country!" At least, that's how I read it. The reported timeline goes like this: Timeline and Explanation of the Discrepancy Overnight Dec 29–30, 2025 — Alleged burglary occurs (intruder breaks through a wall sometime after 3 a.m.).6 a.m., Dec 30, 2025 — A cleaner discovers the damage and vandalism, alerts management (including manager Nasrulah Mohamed).Morning of Dec 30 —...

Welcome to Threat Matrix 2026 For historical reference TM2025 link is https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4287478/posts?q=1&;page=1#1 Established in 2001, after the 9/11 attack on America and now in its 25th year, this thread is designed to identify threats to America, both internal and external, and evaluate the probability of those threats occurring and the extent of potential damage. Discussions may stray into ‘tinfoil’ territory, but the goal is to peel back and confirm information so we can make informed decisions and actions. Incredible as it seems, “tinfoil” conspiracy theories have fast become realities so they can no longer be ignored outright, but must be...

Elon Musk @elonmusk My lower bound guess for how much fraud there is nationally is ~20% of the Federal budget, which would mean $1.5 trillion per year. Probably much higher.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Democratic Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan donned a full hijab for a press conference where she warned that conservatives want to force women into Handmaid's Tale outfits. Flanagan adjusted her head covering as she cautioned that Republicans would like nothing more than to force women to cover their bodies and be treated as property. "If Republicans had their way, women would all be shoved into Handmaid outfits," explained Flanagan as she replaced her mouth covering. "They want a culture where young women are stripped of their rights and become totally subjugated to men. Women wouldn't be allowed to...

In December 2024, a Russian cargo vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. No one paid much attention to it, though, because it was one of many interesting things happening in the world at the time. However, a year-long Spanish investigation has revealed that the ship was carrying two nuclear reactors, with delivery intended for North Korea. Today's video explores the investigation and who might be responsible. I think the content is super captivating. The torpedo though, might be supercavitating

The now-infamous Quality “Learing” Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has reportedly been “trucking in” children following the release of citizen journalist Nick Shirley’s viral video alleging fraud. The Quality “Learing” Center — which found itself at the center of national attention and mockery after Shirley’s video showed the facility misspelled “learning” on its sign — was “bustling” with children on Monday, with one resident telling the New York Post they “never” saw children “go in there until today.” The local told the outlet that seeing children at the daycare center on Monday — just three days after Shirley shared his video...

You’ve seen the video. Nick Shirley, a citizen journalist (aka a journalist), traveled around Minnesota looking for fraud at state-funded daycare centers largely run by Somali immigrants. He found obvious evidence of malfeasance — and a worldwide audience on X. Shirley’s 42-minute video has now been viewed 115 million times, even forcing a huffy response from Governor Tim Walz (last seen exaggerating his military service). Shirley deserves the attention. But when it comes to waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs, nothing holds a candle to health-care spending. Especially in blue states. And especially since the Affordable Care Act and...

More than 20 years after it was on the other end of one of the biggest upsets in BCS history, Miami pulled off the biggest upset of the College Football Playoff era on New Year’s Eve. The No. 10 Hurricanes beat No. 2 Ohio State 24-14 in the Cotton Bowl to advance to the semifinal round of the playoff. Miami was a 9.5-point underdog at kickoff. Before Wednesday night, the biggest upset in playoff history — in either the four-team playoff or the current 12-team format — was Ohio State’s win over Alabama as a 7.5-point underdog on Jan. 1,...

Education has become one of the main ideological battlegrounds across the Western world and particularly within the European Union. Although the EU treaties recognise education as a national competence, in recent years Brussels has developed an increasingly sophisticated architecture of programmes, funding streams and partnerships with NGOs aimed at exerting direct influence over what happens in classrooms—especially in areas related to identity, gender and sexuality. It is in this context that the report Indoctrinating Children: How Brussels Embeds Gender Identity in the Classroom, published by MCC Brussels and authored by sociologist Ashley Frawley, must be understood. The study documents how...

Such a coincidence that so many European churches are being burned to the ground. They should install more extinguishers.

Publix has long been considered Florida's favorite supermarket, but it seems customers are turning their backs on the grocery giant. One frustrated shopper recently took to Reddit to air their grievances after picking up a prime tenderloin steak at a Publix store in Yulee, Florida. A photo of the package showed the meat priced at a jaw-dropping $61.49 — or $49.99 per pound. 'This is criminal,' the customer wrote. 'You can get a full ribeye or tenderloin dinner with table bread, 2 sides and softdrinks in Florida at a Outback, texas roadhouse or Longhorn for $26 - $31,' one wrote....
