These are all true statements. And the only reason we don't immediately sink this detrimental shit is that somewhere along the way, someone (cough cough tech press) said these Silicon Valley guys were all geniuses and not the scam artists. That's the whole thing.

ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...

When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5

At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.
nbcnews.to
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Truckers on skyrocketing diesel prices: "We can't continue to run like this." Semi trucks can carry up to 220 gallons of diesel fuel, which costs $1,320. So if diesel goes up, shipping costs go up with it and inflates the price of everything.

The Trump admin has now ILLEGALLY deported over 170 people. That's 170 times they've broken the law &, in some cases, sent people back into harm's way.   The Constitution guarantees due process to ALL — Trump & Miller don't get to pick & choose. Everyone involved must be held accountable.
