AI isn't reliable enough to get even a hamburger order right, but reckless Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing to expand artificial intelligence across the U.S. military, including AI-enabled targeting. "Would you like fries with that obliterated girls' school?"

Let's be honest, neither major party is any better than the other on handling crime, because one party thinks the solution is locking people up and the other thinks the solution is releasing them early. The actual solution to the issue is FIXING POVERTY. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.
