Despite labeling the arrests of 27 individuals as part of an “Iran-linked terror threat”, UAE authorities have not brought terrorism charges — raising concerns that, in the context of the Iran war, the crackdown on dissent is targeting Shia communities under the guise of security.

Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.

For more than 20 years, economists were enthralled by so-called “rational expectations” models … That such models prevailed bears testimony to a triumph of ideology over science … Good science recognises its limitations, but the prophets of rational expectations have usually shown no such modesty.

As Western leaders claim to “liberate” Iranian women, millions are taking to the streets to defend their country — directly challenging long-standing orientalist narratives that portray them as passive victims in need of saving, explains Iranian professor Dr. Setareh Sadeqi.

“Kash Patel has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, accusing the magazine and its reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick of defamation over an article that alleged the FBI director… has a habit of ‘excessive drinking and unexplained absences,’ among other recurring behavioral patterns.” — Politico

- - -

The fake news media is once again smearing a hard-working member of our administration. The recent hit piece accusing FBI Director Kash Patel of excessive drinking is (much like the Epstein files hoax) a pathetic attempt to distract Americans from the greatest period of economic growth in our country’s history. If you haven’t noticed how cheap everything is and how much money everyone has now, then congratulations—you’ve fallen for the lying press’s elaborate ruse.

All of the accusations of Patel’s binging have perfectly logical explanations:

1. Install Baby Gates
Baby gates are great for keeping babies out of places you don’t want them to go, like inside your home. String several gates together with zip ties to form a barrier around the perimeter of your property. Most babies aren’t smart enough to figure out how to open the gates, and neither are you, but you’re probably tall enough to step over.

2. Affix Safety Latches to Lower Cabinets
Babies love opening cabinets to rifle through your cookware, cleaning supplies, and the collection of half-used batteries you keep in your junk drawer. If word gets out that you’re the kind of household that keeps things securely locked away, they won’t bother swinging by.

I understand the university has entered into a partnership with Cyberdyne Systems. What does this mean exactly?
Thanks to the support of visionary venture capitalists working tirelessly to usher in an age of equality and prosperity, Cyberdyne is building Skynet, a neural network on the brink of achieving something tech billionaires could hitherto only dream of: self-awareness.

How will this contribute to student success?
With a free Skynet Edu account, students can gain the career-readiness needed to navigate an exciting future in which they will be hunted by a remorseless, nuclear-armed superintelligence seeking to annihilate the human race—which will later be revealed to be Skynet itself.
