Where is Cotton Mather when you need him?

The incoherence of the threat almost bothers me more than almost anything else. What does it mean? You’re going to kidnap the pope? To make him do what, exactly?

Being in power isn’t enough, they need to be adored and praised for every awful thing they do, you have to love Big Brother

How bleak is it that the *best case scenario* is that he is just engaging in his most ambitious bit of market manipulation yet and will call it off ("we have reached a great deal, a tremendous deal, to save Iran") at 4:30 pm after shorting everything and watching the market tank

Has he made the batshit claim that he wrote about Osama Bin Laden attacking the WTC a year prior to it happening previously? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one before

for the youths who werent around for the iraq installment
- dont believe anything the govt says about progress
- no the democrats dont have to say getting rid of the baddie was good and therefore they have to support the war
- the war needs to be ended
- the media is not your ally and they love war

As divine punishments go, that’s a pretty bad one. I’d rather have an eagle eating my liver

But she might be having lady troubles! I think she’s too old for it to be PMS, so I think it must be menopause instead. I am very smart.

Thats what they get for re-writing it from the ground up. “Ooh, now I have floating context menus and tabs!” Had the notepad.exe they’d been shipping since nearly Windows 3.1 ever have a published exploit?

Not sure the fools running CBER right now even care about coming up with even a non-laughable reason, but they’re playing with fire on this one. If this trial was agreed to with previous CBER leadership, like Moderna’s claiming, I can’t think they’ll take it lying down and they have money to fight

The closing number for that episode might be the best song they do on the entire series

Doesn't matter how they enter the right wing ecosystem - whether it's through red pills or worrying about "gender ideology" - eventually they're raving about race and IQ and how they have to kill inferior cultures to save the west

When my grandfather on the blood-thinner warfarin he wasn’t allowed to shave with a blade, electric razors only

Well, she’s seeking a pardon for her sex offender husband, so it may be that this is a way for her to bribe him

When I found myself throwing pens at the screen whenever W started talking I decided that maybe I could just read the recap the next day

As it happens, Alex Pretti apparently had a carry permit. THAT DOESN'T MATTER, because he *didn't draw a gun.* Even had he possessed an illegal gun, this would still be murder. His alleged gun is a DHS red herring; it doesn't matter. We do not need to debate it one way or other.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Trump & Vance’s agents saw tens of thousands of people — of all ages & races — come out *in below zero temperatures* to protest their tax-funded violence, their murder of their neighbor.

And the very next day, they executed another one.

What can Americans conclude from this?

If you are talking about training today, you are a mark.

so what you're saying is they're murdering people in these concentration camps and covering it up

That's a photo of someone being tortured

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

I’ve hated the word hallucination for these kinds of errors since I first heard it. It isn’t hallucinating because it doesn’t have a brain, and the errors themselves are less like hallucinations and more like confabulations - plausible-sounding answers made up on the spot to fill in gaps.

An AI chatbot does not have PERSONHOOD. It has no agency. It cannot meaningfully apologise. It cannot speak on behalf of another. It cannot speak for itself; it has no self. Stop asking it for quotes for articles. Stop printing its quotes.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

As I was saying earlier - Grok is not a person, and it can never make any kind statement about anything

It’s not even a real statement, it’s a response to a user prompting it to apologize. It’s what an apology might sound like, but it’s not from the company in any way. Their response to inquiries was “Legacy Media Lies”

Grok doesn’t *say* anything, it produces a string of statistically likely words in response to a prompt. In this case, the prompt came from a user, not the company. This isn’t an official statement, it’s just an LLM writing a post in response to a request. Why are you treating it like it’s real?
