A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that most Americans adore him. But that illusion is harder to maintain when you're booed by thousands of fans at a basketball game in your hometown. The Emperor has no clothes. He is not all powerful. Remember this.

When one writes about their experiences of being sexually assaulted, they receive private messages from both men and women that are intrusive, uninvited, harmful, and dangerously offensive. Here’s just one example. This came from a woman whose name I have removed to protect /1

People are absolutely shameless with their spin to help the stupid and incompetent Trump look good. Opening up the Strait of Hormuz and turning over nuclear material—apparently, still not resolved—represent only "5% of the negotiations" on the Iran deal? We were told they were the ONLY conditions.

Screenshot of an X post from Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) reporting that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has expressed concern that Trump may cancel the 2028 election and use an ongoing war as justification to remain in power. The post includes a video still of Greene speaking on camera during what appears to be an Alex Jones Live broadcast.
