And if you're a policeman and someone tackles you to the ground you should check if they've got any leg pins or if they served in the military before taking action to restore order?

In a democracy, leadership is not merely the product of those who cast votes for a candidate, but the culmination of societal forces, historical inequities, and collective inaction. While it is tempting to place blame solely on the individuals who supported Trump at the polls, the reality is far more complicated. By examining voter apathy, entrenched inequities, the modern media landscape, and outdated institutional structures, it becomes evident that each American plays some role in the broader public responsibility for enabling Trump’s rise, and for the subsequent damage wrought by his administration. At the heart of any democracy lies a social contract. Citizens agree to remain informed, vote, and hold their leaders accountable. In return, they expect fair representation and a government that addresses the public’s needs. Over the years, that unwritten pact has frayed. Millions of Americans did not vote in the 2016 election. Some absences were due to frustration with the political system, others out of a sense of futility, or more notably the fruition of years of disenfranchisement campaigns designed to keep voters from the polls. The combination of widespread disengagement and disillusionment created a vacuum that allowed a smaller, more energized faction of the electorate to determine the country’s trajectory. That vacuum was not filled overnight. Democratic engagement in the United States has been on a downward trend for decades, with midterm elections often drawing only a fraction of eligible voters. Community-level activism waned in many parts of the country, allowing local issues to fester unchecked. By the time Trump began his campaign, he was able to tap into simmering resentments and cynicism about “the establishment.” For every American who saw through his rhetoric, there may have been a neighbor, coworker, or relative who — facing a lack of consistent information and feeling ignored by mainstream politics — opted to believe his promises. Even those who recognized Trump’s shortcomings should bear some responsibility if they did not work hard enough to enfranchise the disenfranchised, or work to promote reforms that encourage fairer voting practices. an awareness of how an entire society can enable such a presidency is essential to preventing its recurrence. Accountability can begin in everyday spaces. The United States has long prided itself on having a stable democratic system, yet the Electoral College — a structure conceived centuries ago to protect the institution of slavery — allowed Trump to secure the presidency even though he lost the national popular vote. Defenders of the system argue that it prevents less populous states from being overlooked, but critics contend it has become an outdated mechanism that fails to accurately represent the will of the people. The system allows for a minority of the population to have a disproportionate amount of power, upending the foundation of “majority” rule. Fixing a problem requires identifying the problem, and Americans have shown their preference for putting bandaids on systemic wounds. Until Americans are willing to confront the darker truths about themselves and their institutions, progress will remain an illusion, and the cycle of harm will continue unchecked.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:48:58 +0000Unless you are a dribbling jew hater like they have in the Democratic party or over in Europe.

A 22 year old woman would have the kid wrapped around her finger. He was likely manipulated 6 ways to Sunday, then she started again with her ex. My first gf was 5 years older than me and my parents tried to put a stop to it because they understood the power dynamic and female nature. I'd have been spared a lot of suffering had I heeded their advice. It sounds like the cops were sympathetic enough to try to let it slide. The outcome, while lamentable, wasn't unforeseeable. Could she have been charged with corrupting a minor? He was 15 when it started.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:41:58 +0000I've heard it said that "Home is where the mop is". Just sayin' darl...Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:41:19 +0000Probably not in terms of comparative advantage. AI can solve plenty of problems, but likely doesn't help more centralised systems than decentralised systems (I may be wrong, but I don't see how it would). So a communist system using AI would still be less competitive, compared to a capitalist system using AI. On the other hand, big data tends to benefit large centralized structures, so it would benefit centralized economic systems more than decentralized systems. Of course, it doesn't mean that it would make a communist system competitive enough, for several other reasons.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:39:25 +0000Artificial intelligence has been used to create a new type of vaccine designed to provide protection against entire families of viruses, marking what researchers describe as a major step forward in pandemic preparedness. Get today's headlines by email Scientists at the University of Cambridge say the vaccine is the first to have its central antigen component designed entirely by AI before being tested in human volunteers. The approach aims to generate protection not only against existing viruses but also against future variants and emerging pathogens that could trigger new outbreaks. Targeting Entire Virus FamiliesTraditional vaccines are typically developed using a specific strain of a virus. However, rapidly mutating viruses can reduce vaccine effectiveness over time, requiring regular updates, as seen with Covid-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines. The Cambridge team used genetic sequences from a wide range of coronaviruses collected through surveillance programmes monitoring potential disease threats. An AI system analysed the data and designed a “super-antigen” intended to train the immune system to recognise characteristics shared across the coronavirus family. Researchers believe this could provide protection against known coronaviruses, including Covid-19 variants, as well as animal viruses that may one day spread to humans. Professor Jonathan Heeney said the goal is to move beyond responding to existing threats and instead prepare for future ones before they emerge. “This is about making vaccines that protect us, not just from today's viruses, but protect us from what can cause the next outbreak or disease,” he said. Early Human Trial ResultsThe first clinical trial involved 39 participants and was primarily designed to assess safety. A larger study involving about 200 people is now under way to provide more information about the vaccine's ability to stimulate immune responses. Results published in the Journal of Infection described the immune response as “modest”, but researchers say the findings remain encouraging given the early stage of development. Professor Saul Faust, who conducted some of the trials, said the technology showed significant promise, particularly for tackling rapidly changing viruses. Beyond Coronavirus ProtectionThe research team is already applying the same AI-based approach to other diseases. Studies in animals are examining universal influenza vaccines that would not require annual reformulation, as well as vaccines targeting H5N1 bird flu. Scientists are also investigating vaccines for viral haemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola. One focus is a species involved in the current outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for which no vaccine has yet been developed. Experts See Major PotentialProfessor Andy Pollard, who was not involved in the research, said the approach had already produced compelling results in animal studies and that the key test would be whether those findings can be replicated in humans. More broadly, he said AI could transform vaccine development by helping scientists predict immune responses more quickly and accurately. Professor Marian Knight described the trial as a significant advance in efforts to provide broad and lasting protection against viral diseases. Meanwhile, Science Minister Lord Vallance said the project demonstrated how AI and scientific research could be combined to develop new medical treatments and potentially accelerate vaccine deployment worldwide.
