was thinking it's weird how in humans sometimes ppl horrifically murder people. Do, for example, ants, have sometimes an ant that horrifically murders other ants?

While I'd rather drink 69 beers a week, I need to take care of myself. Then I can drink more beers over a longer period of time.

Why not give finer level of control?

Also a bit unrelated, but the lowest volume earphone output on many devices I had was just too damn loud. My current phone included, at least I can fix it with the music player's EQ.

Edit: Probably shouldn't have used "and/or" in this case, but just "or". Oh well...

Edit 2: Fixed. Hopefully the new image gets loaded too.

There is no rule of law, then what are we doing here? Why are we playing ball?

Ok, MAGA wants to burn it down. Good for MAGA, they still don't get to decide for everyone.

I won't be able to do this for long. Why aren't we in the streets? What's so great about your life that authoritarian rule is not a threat to you?

"The planned order follows years of campaign promises from President Donald Trump to abolish the department — something he cannot do without congressional approval."

So imagine you have a bunch of photos on your phone, and then some software finds all your photos from your recent vacation to Brazil, automatically creates a slideshow out of it, and then generates a video where while the slideshow is scrolling, there's 2 AI podcast hosts talking about your life in the photos. Specifically in this scenario, the vacation to Brazil

One clear reason I can piece together is that it's narcissistic to want 2 AI humans to talk about your own photos like that

But there's also something deeply unsettling about this that I can't exactly piece together. I'm not against generating an AI podcast for like study notes or something for you to listen to while driving or cooking, but it's super weird if it's on your own photos right?

Is it the fact that it's weird to just listen to AI voices talk about your photos and yourself? Like it's some sort of artificial social interaction?

Summary

Canadians feel betrayed after Trump launched a trade war, threatening 25% tariffs and even suggesting Canada become the 51st U.S. state.

Prime Minister Trudeau secured a 30-day tariff delay after pledging border cooperation, but tensions remain high.

Canadian officials announced retaliatory tariffs, while citizens boycott U.S. goods and boo the American anthem at sports events.

Experts warn the damage to U.S.-Canada relations could be long-lasting.

Summary

The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump's long-standing pledge.

However, Congress must approve the agency's abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.

GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.

Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.
