The last round of ranked-choice ballots showed the left-wing candidate winning 56 percent of the votes, to Cuomo’s 44.

Nastya Buryk was just 4 years old when her mother, Mariya, noticed that something was seriously wrong.

Nastya went to a hospital in Odesa, where the family lived, but the kind of treatment recommended for her was not available there. Artem took a leave of absence from the (Ukrainian) military to be with his family and decide what to do.

The parents learned that they could get state-of-the-art treatment for Nastya in Israel. They decided Mariya would take their daughter there while Artem stayed behind to keep fighting.

On June 15, Iranian missiles struck the city of Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv where the family was staying.

The apartment where they lived had been partially destroyed in a missile strike, killing and injuring many civilians. Among the dead were Nastya, Mariya, Nastya’s grandmother, and the two young cousins.

The news reached Nastya’s father the next day, when the girl’s aunt called him. “She told me to sit down,” Artem said. “I sat down and she told me that a missile hit the building in Israel and killed everyone.”

I previously used Nova and finally moved to the open source side with Kvaesitso. I didn't like using a search focused launcher at first, but I decided to try and use it for a few months to get used to it. What I've found is that:

• I barely ever scroll down into the widgets menu and so I don't make use to widgets as much as I'd like to
• Even after carefully setting up the search settings, I find it unintuitive and prefer to use specific apps for specific tasks
• I like having apps sorted by tags, but the tiny moving pill shape icons aren't as nice as if I had folders on my desktop

The biggest problem now is that Kvaesitso is draining my battery for some reason. Battery usage says that it used 27% of my battery today.

I think I gave it a fair shot, and I'd like to try something new.

You can just vent if you want, but here’s more context: We're playing a DnD oneshot soon, and the theme is toxic masculinity (particularly in a gym). We’re all playing dudes who visited the gym for a long time already. I already have some ideas for my character, but I want to collect some more stories of toxic masculinity, as I’m quite lucky that my bubble doesn’t have much of it.

Masked immigration enforcers have swept through American cities in the months since President Donald Trump took office, using flash bangs during restaurant sweeps, slamming people’s heads into the ground, violently arresting gardeners on video, and provoking mass protests against their raids. This may only be the beginning.

The massive Senate budget bill, which passed on Tuesday and awaits a final House vote, gives Donald Trump’s administration the money to rapidly ramp up mass deportation to unprecedented levels, according to immigration experts.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will have a budget for more officers than the FBI. The nation’s immigration detention centers will have more funding than the federal Bureau of Prisons.

There may be only one limit on how fast the Trump administration can spend: how quickly it can hire.

Everywhere you go it's all AI I hate it so much.

On Reddit it's all bots reposting stuff from years ago and its all the same unfunny shit. Also it's not like it's a repost once and do it again years later I'll sometimes see the same posts get reposted weekly.

These reposts are all on the top page page to wanna know why? Because AI is upvoting it and commenting on it. It's all one massive AI circle jerk.

I'll check the comments and it's AI arguing with AI or worse people arguing with AI or it's people using an AI to check if the post is a reposting fuck offfffffff.

On YouTube it's either a full AI script with an AI voice or a real people reading off some bullshit script that I'm convinced was written by AI.

"Why [insert topic] was/is so popular" "Why [insert topic] failed/is failing"

You'll go into the comments of these videos and it's all fucking AI istg I'm about to crash out writing this rant it pisses me off so much.

Maybe it isn't AI but it feels like it and I hate it! I've been marking these videos as "not interested" but YouTubes dumbass AI algorithm can't take a hint because 20 more similar videos will start getting recommended it's like cockroaches.

Even the YouTube ads are just AI gooner bait bullshit my little sister unwillingly sees that shit daily when all she wants to do is watch a drawing tutorial or a cartoon.

I don't use TikTok or Instagram and the rest of the slop there is like Twitter but I just know those places are the garbage dump of the internet. More than half the accounts are just AI, basically my Reddit rant but amplified 10x I won't go further into those websites.

If I Google or even DuckDuckGo something the first result is fucking an AI answer and sometimes it'll link me to an article or video made by a fucking AI usually trying to sell me something instead of giving me what I'm looking for.

I run a website and even there in my fucking comments an AI is advertising.

I'll open up Apple music and I don't even know if the music it recommends me is made my an AI.

On amazon there are AI books being sold and they aren't even trying to hide it and I mean real books not audio book but real you can hold it in your hand books who is the idiot buying that shit because someone obviously is since they keep making them?????

Even video games aren't safe the fucking Playstation store is full of AI slop games. Same question whose buying this shit?

Don't get me started on students. I'm being hypocritical because if ChatGPT was around when I was in school I would've done the same but that doesn't change the fact AI is making the modern student dumber. Most of them who use AI aren't learning anything they just have AI spit out inaccurate information. Even if the student isn't making the AI write there paper for them but actually tries using it as a tool to help them with their education it still spits out inaccurate information and how is the student even suppose to know if it's accurate or not since they are currently learning about the topic. I feel bad for teachers having to rot their brains away reading AI slop.

It's literally everywhere you can't escape it and it's not even useful, it's harmful and it's probably slowing down the internet for all of us.

AI is one of the biggest inefficiencies in human history I'm convinced I have no proof but it doesn't take a genius to see that. People are in coal mines ruining themselves so some fucking porn bot can comment OF advertisement. AI isn't only taking needed resources from the poorest people but from all of us. Except the people who can afford it.

I can't wait for AI to fuck off and die so we can start progressing again. Seriously humans made one of the most impressive pieces of code ever written and it resulted in the pollution of the internet. The biggest source of information polluted with harmful useless garbage. Humans managed to pollute something that doesn't even exist in the real world.

this is probably gonna be controversial, but i mean this for people who actually follow christ's teachings and not to be a cesspool of homophobia and transphobia.

A Spanish member of the European Parliament said Wednesday he wants the European Commission to ban Israeli military companies from accessing EU funds, citing their potential use in the war in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

Nacho Sanchez Amor, a socialist MEP and member of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights, said the EU must avoid “double standards” in addressing human rights violations.

“The EU cannot fall under double standards when it comes to HumanRightsViolations & it cannot be accessory to Netanyahu genocidal actions,” Amor wrote on X, referencing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has pursued a war of genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza since late 2023.
