NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s public schools will temporarily ban elementary and middle school students from using artificial intelligence tools during the upcoming school year, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Wednesday. The one-year moratorium — part of a broader assessment of how children in the nation’s largest school system interact with the technology — will apply to “all software that uses student-facing generative AI” for students through eighth grade, the mayor’s office said. It described the policy as the most expansive prohibition in the country. At the same time, the city is establishing twice-yearly AI literacy classes for all public high school students. It will also launch pilot programs allowing some high school students to use a handful of AI platforms under an educator’s supervision. Companion chatbots will be prohibited across all grades, officials said. Source: https://apnews.com/article/zohran-mamdani-ai-ban-nyc-schools-647f6a968eea0399521b7934418b1aff

Back in 2011 after Gaga released the BTW country version, Dolly expressed her admiration for Gaga. "I think it's great," Parton told E! backstage at the GLAAD Media Awards. "It's just wonderful. I love her." And wanted to hit the studio with her. "Maybe we should do something together--GooGoo and Gaga!" she told E! Online in an interview after the GLAAD Media Awards, "You know those GooGoo candy bars in Nashville? I could be Lady GooGoo." What could have been. https://tasteofcountry.com/dolly-parton-lady-gaga-duet/

Reminder: your dollars spent and eyes watching this series will directly fund Rowling’s bank account to further tear down and criminalize the trans community, no matter how many hoops you jump through to justify why you’re watching it.

Vanish Into You.

"Grande's break from the public eye will not prevent her from doing press"

What did people expect? She’s starring in the film, she’ll obviously have to do press conferences. People are so annoying

Why is anyone watching this nonsense after the creator of the whole franchise coming for us?

Nit-picking production design now.... what is this flooring for the great hall? Giving bathroom tile

it's giving alien it's giving i live on a different plane of reality

But how is that going to prevent them for using it at home, or on their devices?

It should be banned for everyone tho

Need this law in everywhere tbh. Corporate greed causing water to cost so much at concerts. Like wdym a bottle of water is $7?!!

The Trump administration is sending immigrants to countries in Africa as part of its third-country deportation strategy. The U.S. Department of State said the Trump administration is using “all lawful options” to carry out what it called “the largest deportation operation in history.” “When an individual is no longer in ICE custody then ICE will no longer be responsible for them,” the agency said. The rest of the article details the experiences of 2 cuban-americans who were deported without notice or explanation and they have been sranded in Africa without help or a solution in sight. They don't speak the language and some of them had health issues, like diabetes which received no treatment. About 70 people were deported so far. https://www.tampabay.com/news/2026/08/31/cuban-africa-deportation-ice-tampa/ "No one told Moreno, who originally came to the United States on a temporarily protected basis, where he was going until five hours into the flight, when an immigration officer told him they were going to Africa. “I honestly thought it was a bad joke because the officer laughed, like he was making fun of me,” Moreno said. A month after arriving in the Central African Republic, Moreno and 35 other immigrants deported on a 21-hour flight remain in Bangui, the country’s capital, without passports and no information about what will happen next. They stay at the Maison Confort, a modest hotel located in a busy neighborhood near central Bangui."

I would love for the film to be released on October, right for Halloween. The show gives major spooky vibes. I mean: The goth opera theme, mistress of mayhem, the skeletons, masks, nurses etc… and for that, I think Zombieboy would be an amazing choice such great potential ughh

Bloody Mary had her moment Judas🗑️ has had more than enough moments (Hate to say it, but) my girl LoveDrug doesn't translate well live (& I selfishly want her to remain a fan-favorite, hidden treasure) Vanish Into You, meanwhile, deserves (& is worthy of) more spotlight

Sorry I think I misunderstood you and got defensive! Not sure if its my English or if you were not clear enough? Its probably because all the anti Muslim comments made me make assumptions abour yours too. I swear I red it as you trying to disprove my religion to weaponize it against Muslims and their rights.

Well she's under contract to do promo...that's usually standard in the industry whether you like it or not

She canceled her concert, and I'm pretty sure she met privately with the girl's family just like she did with the families of the kids that were attacked in the UK the following year. Honestly I feel the eras tour was a bit traumatic for her bc of this and the Vienna incident too. Maybe that's why showgirl didn't had a tour.

Gets license to close NY streets for 3 days, does it in downtown NYC where millions and millions are stuff in a handful of square miles, hypes the sh*t out of the wedding to media, has several high profile celebs attend... Then says "intimate wedding". Gurl, its as intimate as the giant screens advertizing to the dense city core "Just Married"

nothing more private like downtown NY

She is almost certainly contractually obligated to do press. It's standard with movie contracts.

There are ways of monitoring how students use AI on assignments (AI detectors, programs that monitor how the drafting process for an essay etc.), but the ban is mostly, I’d imagine, just for any kind of classroom use sanctioned by a teacher

this will not stop students from submitting AI-made homework & presentations or using AI on smartphones when teacher doesn't look it only affects AI software at schools

Wishing her well, but you couldn’t pay me to have a reaction to this one way or the other.

HP has always been mid, I fear.

She suddenly is okay with gender affirming care lmao

Let her bloat maybe she'll pop

The way Taylor did not give a f*** about that Brazilian fan who died... To this day I'm shocked at how she paid dust to it - definitely would've gone different it this was in the U.S. Shame on her...

I never liked the originals that much anyway (I was more into the Star Wars and LOTR as a kid) but most of this looks like a fanmade version of it. Like the sets are almost identical, the acting is pretty wooden like the original and the bits missing from the books don't add much to warrant a series imo. It doesn’t add anything that the dull originals didnt already have. But I know straight people, terfs and millennials who can’t grow up will make this a success and make trans people’s lives hell. And any member on here who is going to watch or fund this I hope you burn in hell sister.

Cuba is 90 miles away from Florida. People literally get to Florida from Cuba on makeshift rafts. The intentional cruelty to send them halfway across the world instead is staggering. I hope Cubans are paying attention 'cause they've been a reliable Republican voting bloc for far too long. This is what Republicans think of you.

"her"????

I only care about the first three films (& mostly only because of John Williams' music) (should I change my username to NOSTALGELLA?) but I admit I am curious to see how this show is going to "out do" certain things from the films As slick & stylish as HBO is, these scenes in particular are going to be difficult to top (as far as visual effects, music, sound design, pacing, etc):

Joanne, joanne, joanne, I'm begging you please don't take my man

Only swifties can celebrate a law that has been made because a girl died at a Taylor Swift concert

Honey, in 2011 half of the world population wanted to make a song with Gaga

leave my (hey) girl alone!

Portugal, being a secular country, shouldn't pose restrictions on freedom of religion. At the same time, they are also women who are conditioned or forced by their families to wear burqa. We just need to let women decide for themselves if they want to wear hijab/burqa.

Also Taylor Swift talking about the GP and "not wanting attention" from them at her wedding:

It's FAFO Them before: I WILL VOOOOTE FOR DONAL TROMMM!

MamBANi

Must we support the music we don’t like?

I wish Gaga had made the type of Country music Dolly/ Shania made.

Its also worth pointing out that the laws in question are often the result of authoritarian leadership in those islamic nations deliberately targeting tribal populations & weaker islamic sects as a method of ensuring their continued political power. For example - President Rahman of Tajikistan. Ever since the civil war ended in 1997 and the deal established legal powersharing between him & an islamic political party, he's increasingly used laws to restrict the practice of islam (despite Tajikistan being 96% muslim) because it poses a threat to his dictatorship.
