if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy

Google AI search result for “was 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: “No, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14. 
Current Year: 2025

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.
A shitty map created by ChatGPT5.  it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Is this the future for Amerika?
This video shows why Big Telecom loves #coronavirus. The quarantine has facilitated the unobstructed #5G rollout and has effectively ended the opportunity for mass public protests which were our best hope for derailing the 5G robber barons from microwaving our country and destroying nature.
The Telecom Titans now have an open road, willing politicians and a compliant population sufficiently frightened, beleaguered, broke and submissive to relinquish their constitutional freedoms and welcome the surveillance state.
5G has little to do with improving service to individuals. It has everything to do with #BigTech data mining, surveillance and social control. If we don't stop them, they will engineer a massive transfer of wealth and sovereignty away from our citizens into the hands of Big Telecom, Big Tech (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) #BigPharma, the military/intelligence apparatus and the ruling plutocrats.
Chief among these is Bill Gates with his sinister anti-American tracking system (ID2020), his suspiciously coincidental October 2019 Coronavirus War Game simulations (Gates passed out adorable coronavirus themed stuffed animals to all the high level participants), his pandemic documentary on #Netflix, his autocratic control of Anthony Fauci and the WHO (for which he is the top funder), his coronavirus #vaccine patents and his barely disguised — let's be honest — giddy-delight at the quarantine that is impoverishing his countrymen and crushing their will to resist his tyrannical "reforms."
Gates wants us to cede all power to his "benevolent" dictatorship -including power over our bodies, our health and our children. Gates is the nerdy kid with the magnifying glass. The rest of us are ants getting torched in his global science experiment.Another Gates vaccine bites the dust.
"All the monkeys went down."
robertikennedyjr a • Follow Santa Monica, California
robertikennedyir One day after revelations that the Gates/Fauci
Moderna vax caused severe illnesses in 20% of high-dose recipients, Bill Gates got devastating news about his other "warp-speed" COVAX bet. The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) spiked-protein vaccine was on an even faster track than Moderna. In May, Melinda Gates predicted it would be jab-ready by years end. Oxford and UK officials promised 30 million doses by September
On April 24, OVG scientists announced that macaque studies proved the vaccine effective. OVG quickly recruited 510 healthy
volunteers for human triais. Raw data released this week reveal the OVD team was lying.robertfkennedyir Look what we did Peeps!This is All US!!
This morning, Moderna was up 39% and rising on the news of its "successful" COVID vaccine trials. All 5 networks were parroting Moderna's claim that it's fast track clinical trial was a triumph. Then our Instagram exposed the entire canard as smoke and mirrors;the shocking 20% "serious" injury rate (medical intervention or hospitalization required)among the extremely healthy volunteers in the high dose group means the vaccine is DOA. Worse yet, the vaccine appears to trigger production of the kind of
"binding antibodies"that presage the "pathogenic priming" that caused deaths and severe injuries among animals and children in earlier tests of experimental Coronavirus vaccines. Following the release of our analysis, alert Wall Street. speculators shorted Moderna's stock and investors began selling off. Savants realized that Moderna's biggest inside investor had been dumping shares all week.
Moments ago,former SEC Lawyer Jacob Frankel appeared on CNBC calling for a criminal investigation and possible trading suspension. The sell off has forced Moderna's embarrassed media boosters(CNN)to reassess their sunny credulity at the clinical trials. In earlier times, a dangerous vaccine like this would have sailed through HHS's corrupt approval process. CDC would have reflexively mandated it for 75 million children. For the first time the public is watching how the sausage gets made. This experience gives me hope that we can kill these boondoggle vaccines the way one expells cockaroaches-with sunlight. We might even succeed in training the press to do their own research and recognize fraud before they are once again gulled and humiliated by Fauci and his crooked cronies.
