As hilarious as it is to watch Schmitt make an ass out of himself and his party, the look on Katie Britt's face wins the day. She was the next Republican in line, and in the video you can almost see her pages of follow up questions wisp away into a tiny cloud of ash, "Infinity War" style.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

I just read a third or possibly fourth news article where the reality of an 'AI has discovered something marvellous!' story turns out to be GenAI somehow accessed material it had no permissions for, which was the outcome of an expert's years of work, and presented it without attribution. GenAI lies.
