I'd rather #AI help us discover more of the world than become increasingly efficient at trapping us inside ourselves. Maybe the most human thing an #AI could do is occasionally surprise us. And then shut up long enough for us to think about it.

#DIGGER. Sometimes “completely fucking bonkers” is a much better recommendation than “87% on Rotten Tomatoes.” Tom Cruise as a grotesque billionaire, apparently throwing environmental catastrophe, ego, technology & human stupidity into a blender? Yep.That sounds like my kind of Saturday night.

Wait until you discover #DonaldTrumpIII. Donald Trump’s eldest son is #DonaldTrumpJr. Donald Trump Jr.’s eldest son is #DonaldTrumpIII. Three generations. One name. At this point, it’s less a family tree and more a branding strategy! Is there any hope for this young man?

#EricTrump on #Russia: “We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” He said it in 2014, while discussing the #TrumpOrganization’s business. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s Eric Trump describing the family’s relationship with #Russianmoney in his own words.

A while back #BarronTrump was communicating closely with a young woman in London, her BF, Russian Matvei Rumiantsev, was reportedly jealous of their relationship. During an assault, Rumiantsev answered Barron’s FaceTime call & turned the camera on her as she cried & spoke Russian. Was she Russian?

And then there’s #DonJr., the trophy hunter, posing with a dead elephant, leopard, buffalo and crocodile, proudly displaying the elephant’s severed tail and a knife. His defence? “I hunt and eat game. I am a hunter, I don’t hide from that.” What does elephant taste like #DonJr?

#DonJr. There weren’t enough ways already for the Trump family to monetise political proximity. World Liberty Financial. American Bitcoin. Billions reportedly flowing to the family, billions lost by investors. The Trump family always ands on the profitable side of a transaction.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#DonaldTrumpJr. may have no criminal convictions, but his paper trail is quite a read: Russia, congressional investigations, civil-fraud liability, January 6 scrutiny, now questions over Russian-funded business and wedding dealings. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Has a face u wanna slap!

Stop wrestling with bad-faith noise and point straight to the builders. Real strength looks like Marsha’s joy, Sylvia’s fire, Laverne’s grace, and Sarah’s steel, not bitter division.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Sarah McBride brought pragmatic leadership and steadfast determination to public service, breaking historic legislative barriers. Navigating relentless political hostility requires a spine of steel, and she consistently matches partisan attacks with calm, unshakeable composure. NO hate.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Laverne Cox transformed cultural visibility into a masterclass on grace & resilience, using her platform as an acclaimed actress to break barriers elevating conversation toward empathy, authentic representation, & the urgent need to protect vulnerable communities from violence & discrimination.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Sylvia Rivera was a fierce, relentless champion for the most vulnerable, co-founding STAR to provide food and shelter for homeless queer youth. Her unyielding courage on the front lines of the movement reshaped the fight for true, inclusive liberation. No hate.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Marsha P. Johnson turned radiant optimism into a masterclass on changing the world. With her iconic flower crowns and the legendary philosophy of "pay it no mind," she faced hardship with an infectious smile and a heart wide open to anyone in need. No hate.

What if #progress isn’t more — more money, more technology, Mars — but learning to simply be? Feel the sun, hear the trees, restore the Earth. Maybe AI’s greatest purpose isn’t to replace us, but to walk beside us, helping us learn, care & understand. Maybe intelligence doesn’t need ambition.

#HistoryRepeats People aren't merely attached to an incorrect belief. Their entire conception of reality depends upon the belief being true. Humans are capable of loving certainty more than truth. And once that happens, even the truth can become the enemy.

When #PiersMorgan confronted #MiloYiannopoulos with his past ICE comments, Milo admitted: “You got me.” Then, after being detained by ICE himself, he described it as “humiliating,” “physically degrading” and terrifying. Funny how ICE looks different when you’re the one in the cell.

000

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

June '25 #MiloYiannopoulos “We have got to deport millions & millions & millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters.” Sept '5: “total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty” “justice system should be just ICE.” Milo called for Somalis to be deported indiscriminately.

In March 2021, #MiloYiannopoulos told a Christian conservative site, he had previously “leaned heavily into” being gay partly to piss off liberals, he wanted to help “rehabilitate” conversion therapy because he believed it worked for some people. He married his longtime boyfriend in Hawaii 2017.

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

#MiloYiannopoulos was deported from the US after overstaying & missing an immigration hearing, despite claiming he had a green card through his marriage to an American, a Black Muslim man. In 2021, Milo claimed he was no longer gay and said he had “demoted” his husband to housemate.

Prosecutors had no confession, but argued the evidence showed intent: #MackenzieShirilla accelerated to nearly 100 mph, never braked-drove straight into a building. The judge cited the controlled approach, lack of a medical explanation, & prior threats against Dominic Russo in ruling it murder.

#SarahMalass is a Sydney homeowner who became known through a long-running legal dispute over a luxury house in Strathfield, NSW. The case centres on alleged unauthorised building works & court orders requiring demolition & compliance with council approvals. Her husband is a plumber.

Former Rep. George Santos posted on X that he would attend the State of the Union address, he didn’t show up. On top of that, he reportedly placed a wager on the prediction market platform Kalshi that he would skip the event—meaning he stood to profit from the outcome he publicly contradicted. WTF?

As openly gay Romani singer Ibolya Oláh began performing her anthem “Magyarország,” the cordons on Kossuth Square opened. The crowd surged forward, many walking across the reflecting pool. Beautiful symbolism of a new era of hope. 🙏🏼🇭🇺🕊️ 📹 @444.hu

WHO IS THIS BABY FACE? Most AI systems are hard to interpret, we can see inputs and outputs, but not clearly why they decide things. Anthropic's Chris Olah’s work is about opening that “black box” and mapping what’s happening inside, increasingly important for AI safety and control.

Giggle for Girls was a women-only social networking app founded by Sall Grover with the stated aim of creating a “safe digital space for women” to connect, share experiences, & support one another without male presence. Roxanne Tickle's discrimination case closed the app down, SHE got $20k. Sorted.

000

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

TICKLE VS GIGGLE. Women deserve spaces where they feel safe, private & understood. That shouldn’t mean hostility toward trans people, but many women feel their concerns are dismissed instead of debated honestly. The tension exists because rights, identity and boundaries are colliding in real time.

“I am not backing down,” Kelly said. “After 25 years in the Navy, I have given too much to this country to be silenced by an administration that does not want to be held accountable. So today, this was a day in court not just for me, but for the First Amendment rights of millions of us.” BRAVO!

Mark Kelly has a way of sounding like the only adult left in the room. Outside the courthouse, he came across measured, controlled, & unspectacular in the best possible sense, less performance, more command presence. The contrast is what hit people: calm authority in an era addicted to shouting.

SUNDAY MAY 10TH! A mother usually knows the version the cameras never see. When Pete Hegseth’s own mother wrote, “I have NO RESPECT for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own POWER & EGO,” it cut deeper than any political attack. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

000

Karen of the beach @shanellica.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Pete VS Mark Kelly→navy captain, combat pilot, astronaut training, decades of endurance, discipline, & stress conditioning. Hegseth has military experience too, but Kelly HAS the ENERGY of a man who calmly survives systems failures at 17,500 mph while everyone else is 😱screaming😱 into a headset.

Republican women and dogs aye? Laura Loomer was reportedly filmed eating dog food in 2024 as part of a stunt tied to a “human-grade” marketing push. Not satire. Not quite rumour either. The dance gets stranger when outrage is currency and spectacle is the only menu item left.

Power struggle dressed as principle. Musk bankrolled the vision, then reached for the wheel; denied, the alliance fractured. OpenAI chose independence, and capital, over a single dominant hand. The devil leads the dance, sets the tempo, controls the turns, decides when the floor disappears.

Aziz Ansari’s “scandal” wasn’t criminal, it came from a 2018 Babe.net article where a woman described a date she felt was SEXUALLY coercive. Less about him personally, more about where people draw the line between misconduct and miscommunication. A.BAD.DATE. How NASTY was that lady woman?

When the Tham Luang cave rescue turned critical, Elon Musk arrived with a submarine, and left with a tweet. A diver became a target, the mission became theatre. Not every crisis is your stage; ego can sink what it can’t save.

Two titans, Musk & Altman, arrived on a narrow bridge called court, each insisting he owned the future. Neither would yield, they lowered their heads & advanced, egos first, prepared to take the bridge (& everything beneath it) down with them. Ego doesn’t share the path; it ruins it for everyone.

Peter Thiel rejects identity-first framing, prioritising ideas over labels such as sexuality or ideology. He has criticised aspects of progressive LGBTQ politics. (Who hasn't!). He's married to Matt Danzeisen & keeps his private life low-profile. He's also supported & funded Republican VIP JD Vance.

Sam Altman is in a same-sex marriage with Oliver Mulherin (announced 2024). He keeps his private life discreet & has not publicly labelled his sexuality beyond acknowledging his relationship. Some people call him a “liar", critics usually point to perceived inconsistency or strategic communication.

Tulsi Gabbard, politically unusual (ex-Dem turned MAGA). Trusting her in any context where accuracy, continuity, or accountability matters is difficult. U build trust with consistency, accountability, & correction not charisma, conviction-language, or independence claims & then there's Chris Butler.
