  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.

The ruling Monday by Judge Tanya Jones Bosier of Washington DC’s superior court grants the church – the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal church – power over how the Proud Boys moniker is used. Bosier’s decision opens a pathway to seizing proceeds from the sale of any merchandise featuring the white supremacist group’s name, logos and insignia, too.

A Nashville school district invested about $1 million in AI gun identification software, the school district said, leaving some to wonder what went wrong in detecting a school shooter in the halls.

More than a week ago, 17-year-old Solomon Henderson carried out a shooting inside Antioch High School in suburban Nashville, killing a classmate and wounding another. Henderson died after turning the gun on himself, police said.

The gun detection system at the school failed to detect Henderson’s weapon during the January 22 shooting
