Tova Noel told congressional investigators she was not the unidentified figure captured on surveillance footage approaching his cell, and has no idea who was.

The Inspector General’s report had suggested the figure was likely hers, without providing evidence. An FBI log had floated the possibility that it was an inmate, which would itself have been highly irregular.

The strategy sets several specific goals such as:

Create up to 90,000 AI-related jobs and work opportunities for young Canadians by 2031
Help create up to 250,000 new jobs through AI adoption by 2031
Boost AI among businesses from 12 per cent today to 60 per cent by 2034
Build a “world-leading” supercomputer to boost sovereign infrastructure by 2031
Provide all Canadians with access to free AI literacy training

The results of the study show that supporters of the Democratic Party are mainly distinguished by their reluctance to date supporters of the other party rather than by a preference for fellow Democrats. Republican supporters, by contrast, both favour fellow Republicans and avoid Democratic partners. The study additionally found that politics matters for dating because political views are often seen as reflecting a person’s values, lifestyle, character, and whether they expect their social circle to approve of dating someone.

Lest we forget, Ahmadinejad had a reputation for such ruthless crackdowns on political opponents that Amnesty International noted in 2014 that his rule had “sounded the death knell for academic freedom in Iran”.

Yet, fast forward two decades, and Netanyahu reportedly now thinks Ahmadinejad is the best person to lead Iran; the person for whom it was worth killing Khamenei, Iran’s most influential opponent of nuclear weapons.

Isocaloric substitution of animal-protein with plant-protein is associated with lower all-cause mortality (by 9%), cardiovascular mortality (by 12%), and cancer mortality (by 5%)

A higher percentage of MAGA Republicans (52.2%) than of strong Democrats (32.1%) believed political violence is usually or always justified to achieve at least one political objective.
The two groups did not differ significantly regarding their stated willingness to personally injure or kill someone, and such willingness remained uncommon across all groups.

The human brain runs on an estimated 20 watts of power, a level of efficiency that silicon computing and artificial intelligence have not yet been able to replicate.

While it's "not aimed to replace what AI is doing" it's intended to "give us abilities that we've never had before," Kagan said.

The cells have a six-month lifespan and aren't yet capable of producing consistent, programmable results.

But analysts say the project's value could lie in its more sustainable power consumption compared to regular chips.

"We need better ways to manage that power envelope and get higher levels of efficiency," William Keating, CEO of semiconductor research company Ingenuity, said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he has directed Israel’s military to take over 70% of Gaza’s territory.

Under a October 2025 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Israeli forces withdrew to a demarcation line known as the “yellow line” that left them in roughly 53% of Gaza.

Hamas has also refused to disarm or decommission its weaponry, Mladenov said, a key element of the ceasefire plan upon which much of the future of Gaza rests

The Golden State might be able to stomach more ultra-wealthy departures than first feared.

A 2021 ProPublica investigation found that between 2014 and 2018, the country’s 25 richest people saw their net worths rise a collective $401 billion, although they paid $13.6 billion in federal income tax, a rate of only 3.4%. The average federal income tax rate, meanwhile, stands at 14.5%, according to the Tax Foundation.

Human rights groups and lawyers say ‘voluntary migration’ policy amounts to ethnic cleansing

Israel’s defence minister has said he is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza through large-scale migration of Palestinians as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.

“Currency often takes six to eight years to produce a new bill, particularly one of such high value.”

“These guys think you can just print something overnight and it’s going to work in an ATM. It’s just crazy,” said one of the employees. “It takes years and years and years to produce these notes so they are reliable for the public.”

These findings suggest that pesticides applied to golf courses may play a role in the incidence PD for nearby residents.

Projects were deemed wasteful “because they related to Blacks, women, Jews, Asian Americans, and Indigenous people.”

The tech giant made thousands of engineers train their AI replacements—then fired them.

A new two-part study maps how The Joe Rogan Experience evolved from a comedy podcast into a highly influential civic platform, finding that tuning in was a stronger predictor of a 2024 Trump vote than basic party affiliation.

The pipe belonged to Tesla. The dark liquid was wastewater from the company’s nearly $1 billion lithium refinery, which began operations in December 2024 and was, at the time, the first commercial-scale spodumene-to-lithium-hydroxide refinery in North America. Tesla had marketed the plant for years as an “acid-free clean process,” promising sand and limestone as the main byproducts. The drainage district had not been told that 231,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day would be flowing through its infrastructure.

The list submitted by Tehran includes demands for compensation for war damage sustained during the now 10-week conflict, as well as recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route.

Trump is highly unlikely to agree to pay Iran reparations linked to the war, nor support Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz—the largely closed-off passageway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil supply normally passes.

The Trump administration has also said it will not come to the table unless Iran agrees to end its nuclear program to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Iran, meanwhile, has insisted that talks about ending the war must happen first and has suggested delaying nuclear negotiations until a later date.

Consciousness is not separate from the physical world — our “soul” is of the same nature as our body and any other phenomenon of the world.

We have souls. We have an inner self. We can treat ourselves as transcendental subjects in the Kantian sense. We have emotions and spiritual life; we experience qualia. These entities are not obtained by addition to a physical state, but by subtraction from a complete physical account. Mental processes are physical processes described in a way that captures only their salient characteristics.
