Donald Trump just had the best 24 hours of his reelection campaign. But it might come back to bite him.

Donald Trump just had the best 24 hours of his reelection campaign. But it might come back to bite him.

Former President Donald Trump is back on top — at least for now.The Republican nominee secured a spate of political wins this week after President Joe Biden delivered a disastrous first debate performance, and the Supreme Court handed down two Trump-friendly decisions.But Trump's Thursday night and Friday morning victories are far from permanent, and aspects of this week's ostensible wins could fizzle in the long run.Biden's big blunderPolitical experts and pundits seem to agree that Trump also performed poorly in the Thursday debate. He lied several times, failed to articulate his plans and policies, and once again boasted about his…

One of the most powerful men in entertainment just called OpenAI’s Sam Altman a ‘con man’ who can’t be trusted

Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, the sports and entertainment conglomerate, called OpenAI CEO Sam Altman a "con man" who can't be trusted with artificial intelligence.During the Aspen Ideas Festival on Friday, the media juggernaut was asked to share his thoughts on AI and the reassurances innovators such as Altman give about the technology.Emanuel first thought of Elon Musk, whom he called a "friend," and said that they disagree on many things but not on the risks of AI."If he's nervous, then we should be nervous," Emanuel said. "And I do think there should be guardrails."On Altman, Emanuel was less kind."As…

SCOTUS seems determined to dismantle the administrative state. It will make regulating major industries tougher.

Summer camps aren’t accessible for my autistic child. I still want him to experience the fun of camp.

Summer camps aren’t accessible for my autistic child. I still want him to experience the fun of camp.

My autistic son is almost 6 years old, which I thought would mean he would finally have more options for summer camp. What I didn't foresee was that he wouldn't fit into any of them, despite the fact that he is in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at school. The one local program that exists doesn't offer toileting assistance, which he requires.He needs someone to alert him of his toileting needs, as well as help with clothing. His communication style includes echolalia, meaning he repeats back what he hears as confirmation or as a way of making a point. For…

A frozen wolf discovered in Siberia turned out to be 44,000 years old. It’s so well-preserved that scientists are checking its gut for ancient viruses.

A frozen wolf discovered in Siberia turned out to be 44,000 years old. It’s so well-preserved that scientists are checking its gut for ancient viruses.

In 2021, residents of Yakutia in eastern Russia found the wolf in thick permafrost — soil that normally remains frozen year-round, but in many places has begun to thaw as average global temperatures rise.Now, researchers at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, Russia, are studying the mummified remains to learn more about the animal.The frozen conditions helped mummify and perfectly preserve the Pleistocene predator. Its teeth and much of its fur are still intact, as are some of its organs. The wolf is impeccably intact, with teeth and fur. North-Eastern Federal University "It's shocking, actually," Robert Losey, an anthropologist at the…
