It should be obvious by now that one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. But in the absence of international laws, norms, and treaties to which everyone is accountable.

State-Sponsored Terrorism - The Threat and Possible Countermeasures | Office of Justice Programs

Here's a 1986 definition:

"State-sponsored terrorism is viewed as a form of low-scale warfare designed to alter U.S. policy and create political and socioeconomic instability."

Tennessee US Sen. Marsha Blackburn (who's also running for governor) wants to remind us of what Iran has done since 1979. She seems to conveniently ignore what she's responsible for since going to Congress in 2002.

Let's talk about state-sponsored terrorism.

The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you β€œsharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the β€œexpert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions β€œinspired by” related experts. Those β€œindustry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others.

The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Trump won more votes in states Biden won in 2020 than in states he himself won. Four years later, Harris won more votes in states she lost than in states she won.

So, does unsubstantiated mean they've not been investigated or that there's a lack of evidence?

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

"Trump is never 100-percent wrong. There's always some kernel of truth in his attacks. The problem is that he overreacts. It's like going to the doctor with acne and the doctor says, 'You know what will fix this? Decapitation.' That's Trump." - David Brooks, Chronicle of Higher Ed 2/27/26
