A professor at Grambling State University in Louisiana says he will fail any student caught using AI. “I get paid the same whether I pass you or fail you,” he said. “I tell students that ChatGPT is disallowed from their writing process, that I can immediately tell when ChatGPT has been used, and that I will fail the student on this assignment if it is used,” theatre professor Neal Hebert told the New Yorker in a roundup of instructor testimonials on AI’s impact on their profession. Hebert added that he would even “potentially” fail a student “for the entire course, if we go through a formal…
On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” guest co-host Anthony Coley said that New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) did the right thing by securing the area outside the Delaney Hall immigration facility, but he says that “with a word of caution,” “Because the New Jersey State Police are the ones who came in, they are patrolling the area, and they don’t have the best history, even going back to the ’80s and ’90s, about policing black and brown communities.” And he hopes the protesters are peaceful. Coley said, “What’s interesting here, we’ve got reporting on the ground that…
President Donald Trump is retreating from plans for a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” after a fierce backlash from fellow Republicans, according to two people granted anonymity to describe the decision ahead of a public announcement.

Young audiences turned out in droves to movie theaters around the country this weekend. It wasn’t for the big budget “Star Wars” movie, “The Mandalorian and Grogu, ” which fell sharply in its second weekend, however, but for a small budget horror from a 20-year-old first-time filmmaker that began on the internet. “Backrooms,” released by A24 in 3,442 locations in the U.S. and Canada, made an astonishing $81.5 million in its first three days in theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. That’s just a few hundred thousand dollars shy of what “The Mandalorian and Grogu” earned in its first…
Retailers still remembering the backlash from the corporate queering scandals of 2023 under the Biden administration and are scaling back their “pride” month offerings for children this year. The Biden administration made a huge deal out of pride month every year during his four-year term, promoting the twisted agenda on children, and retailers followed suit. It escalated to a shocking level in 2023 as retailers offered pride month apparel designed for young children. In some cases, it went beyond a rainbow-themed shirt or socks. Target, for instance, engaged in overt corporate queering, pushing the transgender agenda on children. At the time, the retailer offered…
On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” co-host Eugene Daniels stated that he’s concerned that things outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall immigration facility will “escalate” “on the police side, because, yes, like, you don’t want people shooting things at police officers,” but sometimes what officials ask police to do and what actually happens aren’t the same thing. Daniels said, “As the adage goes, and a lot of folks on the ground like to remind us when we ask them these questions, the riots are the language of the unheard.” He continued, “And, so, when you see folks doing these…
