roleks.bsky.social @roleks.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Anyone notice Android gboard emoji suggests ❄️ when typing snow, but only wants you to pick from 🍨 or 🍦 when typing ice? Not 🧊.

roleks.bsky.social @roleks.bsky.social · 15/11/2025So in order to reduce political pressure over food prices, Trump's reducing the tariffs HE put on food. Thus, Trump is agreeing with SCOTUS' position, that tariffs ARE a tax on Americans: - increasing the money Americans pay for things, - AND that money goes to the American govt. A TAX. 000

roleks.bsky.social @roleks.bsky.social · 10/10/2025One of the biggest failures of this crop of AI is its lies. Power consumption is another one, but let's focus on the lies.
