The former president of Honduras is sitting in federal prison for being a major drug trafficker, one of the biggest in the hemisphere. Trump is now pledging to pardon him as part of his effort to restore his right wing party to power. Trump is also threatening to bomb

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to

World football should be embarrassed and outraged that the game of the world, that everyone plays in all corners of the planet, has been used to promote a human rights abuser, currently extrajudicially killing Venezuelans, who play our game. Locking up immigrants and vilifying
