              Recent books and studies have begun to highlight the risks that artificial intelligence poses to children. This is a good thing. Maybe we’re collectively realizing that we shouldn’t wait a decade after a new technology emerges — as we did with social media — before sounding the alarm.

              Pete Hegseth’s unserious address again shows his unfitness for office | Virginian-Pilot

                Nearly two years into his role as secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has yet to leave his old job as a Fox News host behind. His recent “State of the Force” address at the Quantico military base in Virginia demonstrated again that he’s more interested in fighting a culture war and delivering…

                    • Eugene Corral, North side

                    What a coincidence that we have a deal with Putin to supply cheaper diesel. Which will help the farmers and truckers; strong Trump voters. Then all of a sudden Trump is calling for a new president in Ukraine. All happening right before the midterms. Makes one wonder?

                                  A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
