A VERY PUBLIC EDUCATION: Why can’t kids behave? Parents undermine discipline, say teachers.
Well, so do the schools:
While more parents may be indulging their children, schools have become much looser too.
Since the Obama administration’s 2014 “Dear Colleague” letter, which complained of higher punishment rates for black and Hispanic students, “schools have tried to follow a gentler, more ‘restorative’ approach to student discipline,” writes Banerji. Suspensions and expulsions are down. But the softer approach “has had limited success in curbing behavioral issues, and it has garnered criticism — largely from teachers — for letting students off the hook with few to no consequences.”
Sending a disruptive student to the principal’s office is useless, teachers on social media complain. The student will return to class in five or 10 minutes with a snack.
“NYC teachers call it the Jolly Rancher Discipline Code,” tweets @JimVolkland. “Even if a Principal wants to suspend a kid, their hands are tied by the District Office.”
Good lord.

HEADLINES FROM 1979-2026, INCLUSIVE: IRGC commander issues ‘shoot-to-kill’ warning as anti-regime chants echo across Iran.“Meanwhile, a Tehran resident said that Basij and IRGC forces—fearing street demonstrations that could turn violent and ahead of Khamenei’s funeral—deployed heavy weapons and armored vehicles at key locations across Tehran. The resident said it appears a new directive may have been issued to crack down on protesters.”
They need guns.

HMM: OpenAI’s robotics hardware lead resigns following deal with the Department of Defense.
Kalinowski, who previously worked at Meta before leaving to join OpenAI in late 2024, wrote on X that “surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.” Responding to another post, the former OpenAI exec explained that “the announcement was rushed without the guardrails defined,” adding that it was a “governance concern first and foremost.”
OpenAI confirmed Kalinowski’s resignation and said in a statement to Engadget that the company understands people have “strong views” about these issues and will continue to engage in discussions with relevant parties. The company also explained in the statement that it doesn’t support the issues that Kalinowski brought up.
“We believe our agreement with the Pentagon creates a workable path for responsible national security uses of AI while making clear our red lines: no domestic surveillance and no autonomous weapons,” the OpenAI statement read.
Always, always, always have a human in the loop.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The GOP Has an Embarrassment of Riches for 2028. “Unlike their Democratic counterparts, the Republicans have a deep bench that features some serious grown-ups.

CUBA LIBRE? US Close to Surprise Cuba Economic Deal.
Two sources familiar with the administration’s plans told the newspaper that officials are close to announcing a deal with Havana, though the exact timing and details remain unclear.
The agreement could include easing restrictions on Americans traveling to the Cuban capital and expanding economic cooperation between the two nations.
The proposed arrangement represents an unexpected turn in U.S. strategy toward the communist island.
After the U.S. captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and cut off oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba, many analysts believed Washington might escalate pressure on Havana in pursuit of regime change.
Instead, officials appear to be exploring a strategy centered on economic leverage and negotiated concessions.
Wearers of Che t-shirts hurt most.
WELL, YEAH: Trump ‘Would Back’ the Killing of Iran’s New Leader if He Doesn’t Agree to US Demands.
On Sunday, Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. He succeeds his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed last weekend in the U.S. and Israel’s joint strikes. Mojtaba’s selection has been characterized as a continuation of the regime that the U.S. has sought to eliminate.
Trump told the New York Post in a Monday interview that he was “not happy” with the pick.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the president “would back” the killing of Mojtaba if he, like his father, refused America’s demands. Chief among them is the end of Iran’s development of nuclear arms.
The report also added that Israel would “likely” carry out the targeted strike if a decision is made to eliminate Mojtaba.
Despite his new — and temporary? — title, I’m not sure Mojtaba actually enjoys any real authority. The IRGC seems to do as they like, no matter who is nominally in charge.
Speaking of temporary: Iran Confirms New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ‘Is Wounded.’
For all anyone knows, “wounded” is just regime propaganda for “dead.”

FADS END: Bye-bye bisexual women: Young adults move away from LGBT identities. “By far, the biggest change is in young women calling themselves bisexual. In 2015, 8 percent of young women were bisexual. That soared to 23 percent in 2022, and fell by 18 percent in 2025. This could be a culture shift, writes Twenge.”
HEADLINES FROM 1972: Air Force test launches Minuteman III with multiple reentry vehicles. “Designated GT 255, the launch was scheduled years in advance and was not in response to current world events, according to an official AFGSC release.”
New START is dead and China is in the midst of a “strategic breakout” with its nuclear forces. Keeping our Minutemen limited to one warhead each is dangerously foolish.
TRADE WAR: Who in China Can Still Afford to Buy Our Stuff? “Chinese consumers aren’t exactly in a buying mood, and Chinese producers seem to be caught in a price-cutting battle for market share both at home and abroad.”

To avoid confusion I am now calling Mojtaba "Khamini-me".
