The Guardian comparing Trump to an LLM is good.

The president then undermined his -laim to understand football by adding that England "perhaps made a mistake when they made' Harry Kane "a defensive player."
<They took the lead, and they took their best player and they put him on defense, Trump asserted, with the confidence of a large language mode. trained on American football churning out a tactical analvsis of England's fata Aecision to drop deep under pressure from Argentina after taking a 1-0 lead early in the second half of the semifinal.

The Monster Raving Loony Party wants to get in on Clacton, too, and is doing so (I kid you fucking not) with a FB post with THIS picture. Optics are fucking horrible and well done on entering on the Enabling a Nazi Ticket, dudes. Binface has already said he doesn't need an alliance with them.

Ze wilde al weg, maar werd gevraagd te blijven, dus deed ze dat. Toen werd het onhandig, want collega's vertrokken. Toen gaf ze een interview dat haar collega's in verlegenheid bracht en werd haar gevraagd op te stappen, maar dat deed ze niet. Dus werd ze ontslagen. Super geloofwaardig hoor...

Keijzer wilde weg, maar werd uiteindeliik ontslagen na kritisch interview
De commissie gaat uitgebreid in op de weken voorafgaand aan het ontslag van Keijzer. Op 13 augustus 2021 zei Keijzer tegen CDA-partiileider Hoekstra dat ze "het niet ging doen", op 14 september lichtte ze premier Rutte in over haar principiële bezwaren tegen het coronatoegangsbewijs en dat ze van plan was op te stappen. Maar haar vertrek "was niet gewenst", hoorde Keiizer en ze bleef nog een paar weken.

"Tegen beter weten in hoopte ik dat het beleid zou veranderen." Bi het CDA werd hog geprobeerd haar op andere gedachten te brengen in een "praattraject". Het aankondigen van haar vertrek kwam iedere keer ook niet uit volgens haar. Medio september vertrokken namelijk nog minister Kaag en minister Biileveld vanwege de evacuatie van Nederland uit Afghanistan daarna was er Prinsiesdag, de Algemene Politieke Beschouwingen en moest Rutte naar New York
Uiteindeliik besloot Keiizer een interview te geven aan De Telegraaf waarin ze haar verzet tegen het toegangsbewis openbaar maakte. Het werd op zaterdag 25 september gepubliceerd en vroeg Rutte haar telefonisch op te stappen. Dat deed ze niet en vervolgens werd ze een paar uur laten ontslagen.

Tempted to 3D print design a Plato version of Man-e-Faces and sell it on Etsy.

Photograph of a detailed action figure of Man-e-Faces from He-Man depicting a muscular, humanoid character with blue and purple armor. The figure has a yellow, exposed chest and abs, and wears a helmet with a pink dome. The character holds an orange, futuristic gun in the right hand and has a clenched fist in the left. The background is plain gray, highlighting the figure's vibrant colors and intricate design.

Zo'n opmerking laat de eenzijdige blindheid van zijn aanhangers zo goed zien. Waarom krijgt híj een "goed gedaan" en niet het instituut van de democratie die hem een podium geeft en zich kwetsbaar genoeg op durft te stellen om ook critici openbaar te horen?

I believe images of the shamrock are popular as visual aids.

Black and white digital drawing of a four-leaf clover with the words "Spirit," "Father," "Son," and "Holy Trinity" written inside each leaf. The clover has a simple, clean line style and the text is centered within each leaf. Below the clover, "Holy Trinity" is written in a larger, bold font.

Lange draadalert! Don Ceder laat weer eens zien hoe empathisch het standpunt van de CU is: In deze tweet ontkent hij dat sekswerk werk is (na eerst de door sekswerkers zelfgekozen benaming weg te gooien en te vervangen door prostitutie). Daarmee ontzegt hij alle sekswerkers arbeidsbescherming.

Een Tweet van Don Ceder op Twitter bij een screenshot met de volgende text van het coalitieakkoord in Utrecht:

"We maken meer ruimte voor sekswerk. Sekswerk is werk. Utrecht is gegroeid, maar het
aantal plekken voor sekswerk is in de afgelopen jaren afgenomen. Die trend willen we keren. Het hoort
bij een groeiende stad om ruimte te creëren voor sekswerk. Dat doen we op verschillende manieren, waarbij het rapport van de commissie Sorgdrager onze leidraad blijft. We minderen op trajecten die sekswerkers bewegen te stoppen."

Zijn commentaar luidt:

"Ik moest even twee keer knipperen. Uit het coalitieakkoord van gemeente Utrecht:

1. Prostitutie is werk. (vraag me af wanneer het college met droge ogen snuffelstages introduceert).
2. 'Sekswerk' is kennelijk een basisvoorziening in Utrecht en net als bibliotheken en scholen iets wat de overheid moet faciliteren.
3. Er moet volgens het college meer ruimte voor sekswerk (lees: jonge vrouwen uit Oost-Europa) komen in Utrecht.
4. Het college snijdt in de mogelijkheden die kwetsbare vrouwen hebben om te kunnen ontsnappen aan moderne slavernij."

And they call it only the *Silver* Age of comics.

Elihas Starr was born in Queens, New York. A gifted government research atomic scientist with an egg-shaped head, Starr was dismissed for espionage and resolved to use his intellect as a criminal mastermind. He is dealt a humiliating initial defeat by Ant-Man when he creates a device to communicate with ants and tries to convince them to betray Ant-Man by leading him into a flypaper trap.

The current regime in Israël is one of the most cynically abusive regimes in the world, with exclusive pretentions to moral rectitude that will tear the region apart and allows them to indulge in mass murder and genocide.

Israel will not remain silent in the face of those who attack us.
Spain has defamed our heroes, the soldiers of the IDF, the soldiers of the moral army in the world.

Here's an image of one of two copies of Xenophon's philosophical biography of Cyrus I the Great' (600-530 BCE), King of the ancient civilisation of Persia, owned by the thirc President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, and now kept in Jefferson's Presidential Library (which stores actua books). He recommended studving Cyrus to his nephew Peter Carr with the words: "Health, earning and virtue will ensure your happiness they will give you a quiet conscience, private esteem and public honour". When the Cyrus Cvlinder went on display in an exhibition a few years ago, Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, remarked in an interview: "The story of Persia - Iran - is part of the story of modern United States." Just to say ...

Just like "enhanced interrogation" was simply torture, so are "technically-not-warcrimes" blatant warcrimes. If you need to resort to technicalities, you are already across the line.

They indiscriminatelly killed anyone within 3km of the downed airman, ffs.

Uncrewed Reaper drones were used to protect the airman once he had been located, by "striking Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometer" according to a correspondent with the US. Air & Space Forces Magazine, who said he had been briefed on the operation.

Lol, that's not a major problem, it's a crucial problem. And the process then just means it's dead and done.

The major problem facing the legislation, which would tighten requirements for people to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and ar photo ID at polling places, is that it does not have the support needed to pass. Democrats
