when your LLM says to ramp back on payments to minors
A few hours after NYT reported that the U.S. bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing many children, the White House last night posted this video mixing airstrike footage with Top Gun, Iron Man, Gladiator, Halo, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, John Wick, Superman, Transformers and Dragon Ball Z
This is insane. Two people buying the same item in the same grocery store should pay the same price.
Instead, companies want to use our personal data to decide how much we personally should be charged.
Thatβs straight out of Orwell. And it shouldnβt be allowed.
RICHMOND β Virginia lawmakers have passed a bill that prohibits schools from teaching that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was a peaceful demonstration or that there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the first Democratic state to try to shape how such events are taught.
Virginia moves to forbid schools from teaching that Jan. 6 was peaceful www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
If itβs true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things Iβve ever seen from the United States government.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job
netanyahu has been waiting decades for a president as dumb and as compromised as trump to kick this war off
Nothing says βLOVE FOR OUR TROOPSβ like seeing scumbag GOP freshman Senator Tim Sheehy breaking the arm of a US Marine in full uniform as he was exercising his right to protest against the illegal war with Iran.
This isnβt patriotism, itβs fascism and brutality on full display.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyβre tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Six years ago today I launched Democracy Docket to be unapologetically pro-democracy. Today, it has a staff of 22 and more than 400,000 subscribers and 60,000 paying members.
Its commitment remains: Never back down or obey and always stand tall. Sign-up and support it today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Completely agree, on both counts.
Fun fact: For six years, the estimable Tim Walz in MN, and the pre-Trump/pre-makeover Kristi Noem, in SD, were governors at the same time of bordering states.
Hey shout out to every left winger I don't give a fuck if you are DSA, Democat, DFL, Green, whatever, if you won your primary, good on you and good luck in the fall.

This reminds me of my son, taking the train and finding a discarded newspaper. He told me he read a >paper< newspaper for the first time, rather than reading it on an app on this phone. His questions: whose idea was it to make the pages soβ¦large? And soβ¦unattached? #RIPtheSubwayFold
I kinda wish God β if He is actually a guy with a white beard on a cloud β would do a little more smiting of evil people with a lightning bolt and all. Or Zeus. Or whomever. Thx.
Brie on ginger snaps with bourbon on the rocks.
Chart of different countries, and the sense of the citizens of those countries that their fellow citizens are morally good. The US is the most distrusting of fellow citizens, and Canada is the highest trust in fellow citizens.
Thank your lucky stars that you are in the land of decent people. Even people in Alberta, I guess? ;-)
Chart showing how many people in 25 countries see their fellow citizens as morally good -- US scored the worst, 47% see people as good and 53% see them as bad
This is a very depressing chart

Welcome! More smart people than bots here. I think youβll like it.
in my lifetime, U.S. foreign policy has been maximally immoral and incompetent and yet the way this administration has found new and shittier depths to sink to compared to all the cretins who came before is honestly their most impressive achievement
Just three Republicans, combined, in the House and Senate voted to halt Trump's Iran War powers.
flames, side of face etc
Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests β a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.
ICE claims its officers use a βminimum amount of force.β You can judge for yourself.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.
Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.
Steve-O got a ruptured testicle by letting one of his castmates jump on his crotch with a pogo stick and he is unquestionably more morally sophisticated than most of our sitting lawmakers
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
π¨ THIS IS NOT A DRILL. kristi noem is doing a live speech right now and doesn't know she was fired. π¨
