I’ve been saying it repeatedly, but now I know that Ken Jennings agrees with my Aunt Vera — the blithering are the worst kind (of idiot)!

Don’t worry. What’s the worst that could happen if you use Facebook’s new “Muse”? It might change your password or give out your address to a stranger? No biggie. 👎

More than a year ago, the latest Nobel Peace Prize winner, Navi Pillay, had an op-ed published in the NYT, declaring Israel is committing genocide. Sadly, the “international community” has been too toothless (& too Zionist) to result in any consequences. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

While I don’t support using AI to write news articles, it must be noted that what ChatGPT can generate is ultimately the result of everything that has been fed into it. That it could generate articles critical of the US war against Iran says it had plenty of raw material to work with.

AP could have used an accurate word like “restrict” or “limit”, but instead describes this $70,000 fee ($70,000!!) as a “crack down”, as if these students are doing something illegal. 😡 @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

Whiplash in one quote. After referring to a (non-existent) “nuclear Iran”, WH adviser admits that not only doesn’t Iran have nuclear (weapons), it also has “no navy, no air force, & no money.” So how exactly were they going to deliver their non-existent nukes to LA or San Diego?

Grifter-in-chief Donald Trump makes a play to continue profiting from the Presidency long after he’s out of office.

Trump has been saying he’s not a candidate, but many have pointed out that he tells people to vote as if he is. But there’s another thing too. “The US will never be a Communist country” says Trump in the ad, while Trump in every speech laughably calls Democrats Communists. 2+2=4.

Reminder to all those who quote the Bible about “man and woman he created them” to justify their anti-transgender beliefs (& policies!) that the same Bible says adulterers (Donald Trump, for one!) shall be put to death. Are you ready for that?

Tinsley almost gets it right. Trump’s ridiculous memes do represent a complete waste of energy, but they aren’t being used to troll his opponents. They’re actually being generated by his sycophantic assistants to feed his insatiable ego.

This picture was from Little Rock, AK, 1957. Every time I see this picture I think about how these taught their children, and they taught their children. Some of them became better people, but too many of them didn’t. You’ve got to be carefully taught…or egged on by cynical politicians. 😡

Even in this NYT article about the AI “Arms Race”, the phrase is just used as a metaphor, with only one passing reference to the military uses of AI. That AI was used to level Gaza, and to kill 186 children and teachers at a school in Iran, doesn’t rate a mention.

One more thing Trump wants to destroy. He’s incapable of moving unless he’s in a golf cart, so he doesn’t want anyone else doing so. And sand traps and water hazards are his concept of “nature”. 😡 wapo.st/46XeZTk

Lead headline on the WaPo home page right now — WaPo pretending that Trump has “ideas for aiding US consumers” when every idea (using the term loosely) he actually has does (tariffs, war) does exactly the opposite.

NYT can’t keep their story straight. After alleging that Trump’s accusation that China was guilty of “sinister election meddling” had “at least some substance”, they then admit this “substance” consisted of “obtaining voter data” (whatever that means). That’s not any kind of “substance”.
