KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Axios — Dems Might Be Commies but, Hey, They’re Sexy! “Using a favorite modern liberal buzzword, Axios is trying to normalize the commie element that’s been stirring things up for the Democratic National Committee. If they can focus on the fact that Abdul El-Sayed is wearing t-shirts to show off his biceps, they might be able to distract some voters from the fact that he’s a far-left, terrorist-loving cancer.”

WHEN THE K-12 IMPLOSION AND THE HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE OVERLAP: Shot: UC-Berkeley math prof says she has to teach fractions to calculus students because standards have fallen so far.

You can guess why.
HMM: OpenAI builds dedicated ChatGPT experience for teens with parental controls and study features.
The ChatGPT for Teens portal will serve as the default experience on the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for users between the ages of 13 and 17 and will come with new safeguards aimed at fostering the safe use of the platform and supporting teens’ critical thinking skills.
OpenAI said that most teen users of ChatGPT use it for homework and help with their studies, so the new platform is intended to allow for study aides without giving the answers away and was designed with Stanford University.
It will feature quizzes and responsible-homework reminders that redirect teens toward collaborative problem-solving, as well as a Study Hours feature that allows teens or parents to set Study Mode as a default during certain time periods.
Those seem like sensible guardrails, but my wife and I wouldn’t even let our kids have social media until they were at least 16 — so this might’ve been a hard No, too.
OLD AND BUSTED: Fake News.

All the Muslims in Judea and Samaria have to do is stop attacking their neighbors, just as all the Muslims in Gaza have to do is stop attacking their neighbors. They refuse.

I’d rather go for the one-state solution myself:

DO NOT TRUST CHINA. CHINA IS ASSHOLE:
Relatedly, TikTok loves to amplify anti-natal, childfree, and anti-marriage content.

Tweet concludes, “The CCP is deadly scared of its collapsed birth rate, and wants to bring ours down to their level. They view this as grand civilizational competition and so should we.”
Why, it’s as if TikTok maybe a Chinese superweapon or something.
LIMITED TIME DEAL: Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum. #CommissionEarned
THE MULLAHS AREN’T SENDING THEIR BEST: UAE says it detected 2 missiles fired from Iran; both fell into water.
Iran’s firing of missiles at the UAE comes as talks between the U.S. and Iran appear to have fallen apart.
“There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” President Trump wrote Tuesday morning on Truth Social.
The president doubled down on his calls to annex the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway dividing Iran and Oman, by posting an image of a map with the strait being labeled as a U.S. territory.
“We control it with the blockade, and I like the idea of declaring it a territory,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday when asked about the waterway.
