5 years ago, I was in my living room when an unknown number was calling my cell phone. Both kids were at the homecoming game—one as a cheerleader, one as the mascot. The call was my son calling from a friend’s phone. He’d lost his climbing over a fence to safety.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

A square flag with a white border, a red background, and a blue X stretching to each corner. The X also has a white border and 13 white stars (one in the center and three on each arm). The red space to the left of center sats "28th." and the red space to the right says "Va. Infy." both in goofy old typeface.

In 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum developed ELIZA, a chatbot. He programmed a doctor script that simulated a therapist by rephrasing replies as questions. In 1976 he wrote the attached quote in his book. Whenever someone says they asked ChatGPT or Claude I think of this quote.
Screen shot from ELIZA Effect wikipedia article. A quote from Joseph Weizenbaum's book Computer Power and Human Reasoning: From Judgement to Calculation it is as follows:
"I had not realized ... that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

Revealed: The Trump administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 kids in seven months
The Guardian analyzed ICE records from January-August 2025, as advocates say the family-separation crisis will lead to generational trauma After three months in immigration detention, 1,500 miles (2,400km) away from her 13-month-old daughter, LT was running out of options. Her baby, who was allergic to formula and had other food sensitivities, had been vomiting constantly and needed breastmilk. But the government refused to release LT – an asylum seeker from Haiti – on bond. So, the family’s pediatrician petitioned the government to allow her to pump and mail her breastmilk from the Dilley detention center in Texas to her baby in Florida. That request was denied. During the first seven months of 2025, the administration arrested 18,400 parents – including 15,000 fathers and 3,000 mothers. They are the parents of 27,000 to 32,000 children. The administration arrested the parents of at least 12,000 US citizen children. Nearly 7,500 fathers and 1,000 mothers who were arrested had a different nationality than at least one of their children. In about half of these families, siblings had different citizenships from each other. On average, the Trump administration has been arresting about 2,300 parents each month and deporting 1,400 parents every month. The Biden administration, in comparison, deported about 700 per month in 2024. Continue reading...
