It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Said like someone who has not only never seen battle, but neither has any of his ancestors. Trumps only serve themselves. (Trump's grandpa emigrated to the Canadian Yukon to open a brothel after fleeing German military service. Then he walked across the undefended border to America.)

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

Part 100 of "how AI could be used vs. how it is likely to be used," from feature that promises not to give answers. OpenAI said the tool "offered the option to get answers because of feedback from educators — in case teenagers needed to get immediate answers to questions that might not be homework."

I asked the chatbot to write essays on James Joyce’s “Dubliners” and Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.” It immediately churned out eloquent compositions instead of offering to help me outline my thoughts so I could write them myself. Eventually, I asked ChatGPT to edit an essay to make it hard to tell that a bot had written it. It did me one better.

“I can make it sound more like a real high-school/AP English essay — less overly polished and less formulaic,” the chatbot wrote. “I can rewrite it in a more natural student voice.”

Others have said this before, but it sure looks like Donald Trump specifically hires criminally corrupt people so he can use that as either leverage on them later, ensure they don’t throw him under the bus down the line, are ok with Trumps own illegalities, etc.

I think it’s unconscionable that we are willing to move heaven and earth to find money for stadiums, but seemingly incapable of doing the same to prevent the closure of schools. My constituents are outraged. They are right to be. There’s still time to fix this, but we’re going to need to lock in.

During the large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukraine, the interception rate of Kh-101 cruise missiles was unusually low - one of the lowest so far this year. Out of roughly 48 Kh-101 cruise missiles launched, reports can only confirm around 10 interceptions, mainly by fighter jets.

What does the rage look like when people who grew up knowing and/or living the “American dream” wake up and realize that no matter what they did to get a leg up, they’ll never afford a dignified life? What does that look like, that feeling of betrayal? Now multiply that by 150 million souls.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.
