BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: SUSAN COLLINS WON’T SUPPORT TRUMP? WHEN HAS SHE EVER?
I don't think these idiots realize that regular red state America hates Susan Collins just slightly less than they hate Liz Cheney. https://t.co/oFINLORncX

Why are the governments of the West suddenly so eager to control what their citizens know?
LIFE ON MARS (SORTA): Lessons From NASA’s 378-Day CHAPEA Experiment. “The CHAPEA simulated missions are unique because they test the impacts of extended isolation and confinement with the addition of Mars-realistic time delays of communicating to Earth – up to 44-minutes roundtrip – along with resource limitations relevant to Mars, including a more limited food system that can be supported on the space station and in other analogs.”

MISCEGENATION ‘R’ US: ‘A history of contact’: Geneticists are rewriting the narrative of Neanderthals and other ancient humans. “This is the first time that geneticists have identified multiple waves of modern human-Neanderthal admixture.”
AREN’T “UNREALISTIC” STANDARDS THE WHOLE POINT OF AI-GENERATED IMAGERY? First “Miss AI” contest sparks ire for pushing unrealistic beauty standards: Influencer platform’s controversial contest awarded prizes to three nonexistent people.

But finance is easier and less messy than manufacturing, or at least it seems to be.
TO BE FAIR, THE POINT OF THE MONEY ISN’T EDUCATING STUDENTS, IT’S GRIFT AND GRAFT AND VOTE-BUYING, AND THAT PART HAS SUCCEEDED BRILLIANTLY: Chicago Teachers Union fails to turn $68K per student into even 1 academic win. “Douglass Academy High School spends the most per student compared to any other school in CPS, according to the Illinois State Board of Education’s 2023 Report Card. With that kind of spending, one would expect academic proficiency to soar, but that’s not the case. The most recent test data available shows no 11th grade students could read or perform math at grade level on the SAT in the 2021-2022 school year, and 86% of tested students scored in the lowest proficiency level for reading.”

Related: A Short History of the Coverup. “I have been pounding the drum on what I think is the most important thing to focus on right now, and it’s not the decline of the president. Everybody knows that, can see it, and it is baked into the cake. What conservatives need to do is open everybody’s eyes to the real villains in this story, and that is the mainstream media.”

UPDATE: A friend writes:
Big boy. What are these people thinking?
OK, let me rephrase that. Big boy. What are these people…
No, that’s all I got.
Are they out of their fucking minds?
Imagine the flaming media cyclone if Trump ever billed anything “big boy.”
Like, before you get to how drool-cup/bring out your dead that looks to actual Americans?
“Are they out of their fucking minds?” was rhetorical, btw.
Woke politics makes you stupid.
