The era of A.I. propaganda is here — and President Trump is an enthusiastic participant.After nationwide protests this weekend against Mr. Trump’s administration, the president posted an A.I.-generated video to his Truth Social account depicting himself as a fighter pilot, careening through major cities and dropping excrement on protesters.It was the latest example in a yearslong shift by Mr. Trump to deploy fake imagery, generated by artificial intelligence, as part of his social media commentary.Mr. Trump has posted A.I.-generated images or videos at least 62 times on his Truth Social account since late 2022, according to a review by The…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how companies operate and compete. Yet, most are still early in their AI journey. A McKinsey study found that while 92 percent of organizations plan to increase AI investments, only one percent consider themselves fully mature. The gap between ambition and execution often comes down to readiness. AI readiness measures whether an organization has the right strategy, data, technology, and culture to adopt AI responsibly and at scale. For leaders, it’s a technical concern and strategic priority—one that sits at the heart of effective digital transformation. What Is AI Readiness, AND Why It Matters for…
Human semen not only accumulates genetic mutations with age; as the percentage of sperm carrying potentially serious mutations increases, so does the risk of developing diseases in offspring.This is according to a new study by researchers at the Sanger Institute and King’s College London. The team sequenced semen samples from individuals between the ages of 24 and 75, using very high-precision technologies, and found that the male germ line (the line of cells that produce sperm) is subject to a combination of mutation and positive selection.The scientists used a duplex sequencing technique called NanoSeq, which can detect rare mutations with…

September 2025 was a month of contrasts: crude prices rose on supply fears, middle distillate cracks strengthened on reduced exports, yet storage economics stayed firmly negative. While volatility eased, the forward curves maintained a backwardated structure—pressuring storage operators but driving strong throughput flows. From an ARA perspective, this combination of bullish fundamentals and constrained economics reinforces the importance of agility and product flexibility in terminal operations. 1. Crude Prices Strengthen Amid Supply Risks Brent crude gained more than 4% during the month, closing around $69–70/bbl in late September. Prices were driven upward by Russia’s decision to extend its diesel export…
Could the French TV series Lupin have been prophetic? The show envisioned a heist at the Louvre, an event that became reality on the morning of October 19, when a group of professional thieves managed to break into the world-famous Paris museum. In just seven minutes, they stole a host of priceless French crown jewels.The heist took place at around 9:30 am local time, shortly after the museum opened to the public. Using a truck-mounted ladder, the thieves entered the Galerie d’Apollon—located in the Louvre’s Petite Galerie wing—through a second-floor window that they forced open with an angle grinder.Upon entry,…
On Saturday, crowds gathered in cities across the United States to protest President Donald Trump and his administration. Organizers of the No Kings rallies claim that more than 7 million people attended in all, across 2,700 cities in the Unites States and beyond. The gatherings provided a clear picture not only of how widespread the resistance to the Trump administration has become, but also the diversity of the coalition driving it. Not to mention the signs.“Today, millions of Americans stood together to reject authoritarianism and remind the world that our democracy belongs to the people, not to one man’s ambition,”…
Look, there’s nothing quite like starting your day by pooping on a little paper hammock affixed to your toilet seat and then poking it a bunch of times with a cotton swab. It was more of a mental hurdle than a practical one, though, as the collection and disposal (you just flush the hammock down when you’re done) was easy enough. You then swish the stick around in a solution, cap it, and send it off. Twenty days later, I got an email that my results were in.On the website, your results are broken down into a few sections: Summary…
