If he's going to task the United States Department of Random Aggression to vaporize anyone who still uses the term Artificial Intelligence, I wouldn't mind calling it Computer-Simulated Intelligence (CSI). It's more accurate anyway.

A post on X from username Acyn. The following text appears above a photo of Donald Trump taking a question from the press.

Q: Are you concerned about the outbreak in Russia?

Trump: I am. The pneumonia plague, if you call it. That's a disease we used to be able control. But somehow those microbes have gotten stronger and smarter. They're like an army. The germs have really become relatively stronger than they were, and things that used to work on pneumonia don't work as well anymore

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

Kinda wish that big online retailer would include a warning: "If you include this frivolous two-dollar item in your order, it will delay delivery of your necessary items by a month and a half." Instead of telling me until the day after I order that it'll take, at most, a week.

The Clorox-branded products involved in the recall are basic cleaners, NOT the company's flagship chlorine bleach, which remains a highly effective germicide. But the name "Clorox" has become so strongly associated with the bleach, expect to see people shunning other brands of bleach as well.

Hummingbirds.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."
