🇨🇳 China is scaling agricultural robots. Autonomous harvest at 24/7 cadence is the new baseline for food security. Vision models pick, arms place, logistics sync, human supervisors handle exceptions. Cheaper fruit, fewer bruises, happier supply chain

Over 4,000 young Americans are alive today who might not be — because of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline we built together. The grief of losing a child is something that no parent should ever have to know. We launched 988 in 2022. We invested in it. We fought for it. And now the data is in: an 11% drop in youth suicide. Thousands of kids who picked up the phone instead of giving up. In my view, that’s what government is supposed to do.
Thousands fewer young Americans than expected took their own lives during the first two-and-a-half years following the launch of a national ‘988’ suicide-prevention hotline in the US, according to a Harvard-based study reut.rs/4sSamT5

Day 31 of Trump's three day Special Military Operation
"We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the DOD have made it very clear, this is a limited operation." - Mike Johnson says there’s no need to constrain Trump’s war powers since the U.S. isn’t actually at war. (Mar. 2026)

The creation of Ukraine's army today could be a unique event, that the threat of the invasion broke down one of the greatest barriers in human society, between the jocks and the nerds, to create it's army of operators and workshop engineers.
1/ Recruitment for Russia's drone forces has slumped, despite an intensive recruitment campaign, because potential volunteers fear being forced to become stormtroopers. The situation is so severe that a Russian general has suggested moving drone forces out of the Russian army. ⬇️

"our conglomerates are profiting from our breakage, doesn't that make you peons happy to be paying more?" is not the flex you think it is.

These small drone interceptors destroyed more than 1,500 Russian UAVs of various types last month, according to Syrskyi. In Kyiv and the surrounding region, in February, they were responsible for over 70% of the downed enemy Shahed drones.

The prototypical ugly American.
Am I the only one who noticed that everyone in the Middle East showed up to fight and Europe is collectively hiding under their beds? Europe has become… well, France.

A real man knows how to take "no" for an answer.
More than one-third of LCSO’s school calls are at elementary schools. That’s over 1,500 calls per year. The need is real — and it’s happening now. Contact County Chair Randall and your Board of Supervisors member and tell them you support SROs in elementary schools:loudoun.gov/86/Board-of-Supe… Full proposal: bit.ly/2026-LCSO-SRO-Element…

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. What a great example of someone bending reality to make themselves feel better.
You guys only loved and appreciated him when he never become president and then died. I get the point but he was called a racist by the entire democrat party for years for daring to run against Obama ultimately leading to the rise of Trump. If you cry wolf enough - sometimes the beast shows up.
