my niece will get that 200 piece dinosaur jigsaw puzzle i saw last week

I recently bought a USB-C to headphone adapter so I could use my phone with the Aux input in the car. It's going great except the phone mic doesn't work when it's plugged in.

I semi-frequently use voice messages while driving to avoid looking at my phone and this isn't an option now without unplugging the USB and replugging it which is distracting so defeats the purpose.

Is there a way to force the phone mic through settings or similar?

Lesser AudioSwitch sounds like it would do the trick but doesn't seem compatible with my device

While the media continues to ignore and even mock Trump’s war on “Antifa” terrorism as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly interrogating protesters.

The Bureau is targeting anti-ICE protesters not charged with any crime, like Chicago-based English professor Elias Cepeda, as I recently reported. Often people targeted have refused to go public with their experience, fearing retribution. But one protester, fed up with the culture of self-censorship, decided to share his story. His account sheds light on the FBI’s attempts to map out some organized Antifa superstructure — and in doing so, undermining Americans’ freedom of speech and political expression.

Special-needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, was watching a movie with his roommate when the FBI knocked on his door in suburban Tucson, Arizona last Friday. Two special agents greeted him, introducing themselves only as “James” and “Keith.” They didn’t offer their own last names, but they knew Miles’ — as well as his home address, his social media handles, what car he owns, and, unbeknownst to him, his political activities.

America is bleeding: billions in capital, talent, and research are leaving the country under Trump’s volatile leadership. From frozen university funds to record-high visa fees, the U.S. is driving away the very people who built its innovation power. Meanwhile, Europe is quietly stepping up — offering scientific asylum, new talent visas, and major funding to attract America’s best minds. But can Europe truly turn America’s pain into its gain, or will bureaucracy hold it back?

in your butt lol

From streets to supermarkets, global boycotts for Gaza have grown as a fragile ceasefire holds for now.

Seeing the livestreamed genocide Israel perpetrated in Gaza has had an effect globally, with the call to boycott Israel at an all-time high.

Quiet boycotts, which started in supermarkets nearly two decades ago, have turned into widely used apps that help millions make choices about purchases.

Campus protests and encampments in the US and Canada have led some major education institutions to cut ties with Israeli counterparts, while investments into Israel have dipped, and some of the world’s largest economies have recognised Palestine as a state.

Nearly 50,000 pro-Palestine protests in two years

The BDS movement has identified numerous companies that are considered complicit in Israel’s occupation, human rights violations, or apartheid policies.

The incumbent: "Goldman is among the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated personal net worth of up to $253 million"

Potential 2028 candidate?

Since his return to power in January, Trump has been increasingly focused on the Nobel Peace Prize. He has claimed to have ended several conflicts around the world.

Experts, however, contest his claims.

Many world leaders and lawmakers are adopting a new tactic to stay in Trump's good graces — praising his peace efforts and nominating him for the Peace Prize.

Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned.

In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world.

He urged the leaders who will gather in the Brazilian rainforest city of Belém to realise that the longer they delay cutting emissions, the greater the danger of passing catastrophic “tipping points” in the Amazon, the Arctic and the oceans.
