But it can’t be wrong, it’s confirming my preconceptions!!

For the sake of her family’s closure, I hope we find out. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have speculation like this about something so horrible.

My thought as well, though this is in texas so why would they be bothering to cover it up? It’s not like they’d be convicted anyways.

Even then it must have been really abnormal, normally they just don’t release the officer’s name and give them a month of paid time off. What the hell…

Yeah, all of my real guesses are too bleak for me to want to type them up. This is just awful.

Only the brown ones, if they’re white it’s technically poaching unless they’re in-season.

It’s extremely strange that no details have been released in this case. I kinda doubt it’s actual full-bore corruption, that’s still fairly rare here, but man for a case involving a foreign citizen it’s sure suspicious they’re so quiet about it. And even in texas there’s so few situations where a fatal shooting doesn’t merit charges. It seems a little far fetched for her to have, say, been mugging someone who then shot her in self-defense. Was she shot by some kind of trained combat armadillo? A senile centenarian who passed away during the investigation? A very small child? (actually those last two are feasible, though in both cases the owner of the firearm they got ahold of would probably have been charged, though it’s texas so that isn’t 100%). Those are the only sort of examples where this might be justified, but lets be honest it was probably the cops.

Just fucking weird. Her poor family.

This very much depends on the subject, I suspect. For math or computer science, wikipedia is an excellent source, and the credentials of the editors maintaining those areas are formidable (to say the least). Their explanations of the underlaying mechanisms are in my experience a little variable in quality, but I haven’t found one that’s even close to outright wrong.

They may laugh now, but you’re gonna kick ass when you get isekai’d.

Yes…?

“The administration” is (usually!) used to refer to the monolithic entity that continues without interruption (office of the prez, congress etc), “this administration” is used to refer to the specific current government/clarify in cases of ambiguity. Weird quirks of american english, what fun…

(Not disagreeing to be clear. Although this is a bit more transparently “dancing to the tune of the puppet master” than most of the US’s other forays into the mid. east, I must say.)

People root for underdogs.

And Palestine seems to be kinda on Russia’s side as well so remind me again why I should support them at all?

… Please stop agreeing with me, you’re awful.

Not trying to be that guy I swear, have you got a source? That number seems pretty high, even for Israel.

[…] It was then, in February, that Mr. Damsky opened an account on X and began posting racist and antisemitic messages. After he wrote in late March that Jews must be “abolished by any means necessary,” the university suspended him, barred him from campus and stepped up police patrols around the law school. He is now challenging the punishment, which could result in his expulsion.

Yeah, he sounds great. At least they clued in eventually…

Yeah, I’m just gonna leave this criticism from twitter of the source linked in the OP article, since apparently now twitter posts are credible sources in of themselves…?

Not them but also an instructor - where I teach, we’re having to pivot sharply towards grades being based mostly on performance in labs and in person quiz/test results. Its really unfortunate since there are many students with test anxiety and labs are really exhausting to turn into evaluation instead of instruction, but it’s the only workable solution we’ve been able to figure out.

Hands on, like engage with prior material on the subject and formulate complex ideas based on that…?

Sarcasm aside, asking students to do something in lab often requires them to have gained an understanding of the material so they can do something, an understanding they utterly lack if they use AI to do their work. Although tbf this lack of understanding in-person is really the #1 way we catch students who are using AI.

It’s literally not, though…?

So this is 100% entirely reporting about a procedural change in how weather events are announced in alaska, but in the most obnoxious way possible? Jesus. We don’t need dumb troll jokes about climate change, we can all see the changes happening, we need mature coverage and someone to youtube the exxon mobile execs…
