[ad_1] Photograph Source: Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken – CC BY-SA 4.0 The expression “coalition of the willing” was first coined by an American political scientist in the 1970s and used by George W. Bush during the Iraq War. It was an American attempt to circumvent the United Nations to carry out peacekeeping or stabilization missions. Now that logic is being turned on its head. Coalitions of the willing are no longer imagined as supporting U.S. action, but as a hedge against U.S. uncertainty. What began as a tool of American leadership is now being reimagined. Ad hoc coalitions are forming…

[ad_1] Anew study predicts that 86% of AI unemployment will be women. And not just any women: rich Democrat women.  Tragically, AI is coming for the notorious Karen who’s overpaid for what she produces but still needs to see the manager. The reason is the Industrial Revolution took jobs from people who work with their hands — routine physical work. But AI is taking routine paperwork — people who forward emails, schedule meetings, and sit on diversity committees. Last week, think tank Brookings issued a new study estimating 37 million American workers are “highly exposed” to AI replacement.  Brookings thinks that…

[ad_1] As advertised, the host’s voice on the Boring History for Sleep podcast is pleasantly soporific. The quality of the prose echoes the generic language that ChatGPT might spit out when given a too-vague prompt, and the level of detail is extravagantly excessive. Episodes are four to five hours long, and they come out frequently. So frequently, in fact, that one might wonder what productivity-enhancing tools the creator is using. If one cared. Which one shouldn’t. Just as one shouldn’t get too hung up on accuracy. That would be like complaining that a white noise machine isn’t really the ocean. If Boring History…

Scott Doerr OtherWords As Americans age, we deserve the peace of mind that we can find nursing care for our parents or ourselves when we need it.

I do not belong to any faction; I will fight them all. – Louis Antoine Saint-Just + I knew Ted Turner slightly, because his foundation used to dispense print-sustaining lucre to our impertinent environmental rag, Wild Forest Review, when almost no other foundation would touch us, largely because we were sharply critical about the role that elite liberal foundations had played in neutering the environmental movement, especially when Democrats came into power, as Clinton and Gore had just done. Ted didn’t give a…

Aaron Maté The Grayzone The OPCW has finally acknowledged concealing the assessment of German military toxicologists who ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of dozens of deaths in the alleged Douma chemical attack of April 2018. For the first time in a prolonged cover-up scandal, the world’s top chemical watchdog has acknowledged censoring a finding that undermined…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair With a fictional ceasefire in place, Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, just in a lower gear. The people of Gaza are still living each day amid the chaos and terror brought by Israel. And Israeli leaders are still making crystal clear their intentions to destroy Palestinian society and erase from collective memory the fact that Palestinians ever existed. Meanwhile, the armed resistance groups in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon carry on toward their common goal: to drive Israeli occupation forces out of their respective homelands and end the slaughter, displacement, and dispossession…

[ad_1] A Tennessee special education teacher has been charged with assault for allegedly dragging a nonverbal 9-year-old boy across a rug at Selmer Elementary School. Witnesses say Meg Day dragged the student by his lower body, leaving him with a painful “blood red mark” and carpet burn on his back. Other staff noticed the injury and told the principal and assistant principal, who called the police. The post Brickbat: Bad Day appeared first on Reason.com. [ad_2] Source link
