Xopher Halftongue RESISTS!

Trump team realizes immigration terror campaign is bad politics The Trump administration has reportedly issued a directive to congressional Republicans to stop speaking about “mass deportation.” The edict comes as voters turn away from President Donald Trump ...

I sure hope it's too late for them to put this genie back in the bottle.

LRS was from this hearing.

This is key here. He's claiming the many fabricated quotes were unintentional, but they all support his case, which is, as the kids say, sus. If his prompt was "find me citations that support my case," he could, I suppose, plead ignorance of what LLMs actually do. But he should still pay.

That's an AWFUL lot like the Nuremberg defense.

For values of 'culprit' ≅ 'something I can blame for my bad behavior'

Reskeeted, but what IS an eyeboard? Or I-board? He's rapey as shit no matter what the answer is, but I don't know the term.

Yes, and the contrast with the behavior of American authorities could not be sharper.

🚨 WARNING: JOE IS A RAPIST IN THE MILITARY!

Someone. Arrest. Jared. Kushner.

NOBODY voted for him. He's sitting in cabinet meetings, and can't pass a security background, so they skipped it. And he is a traitor. He's obviously passing information from every country involved, while he makes bank off the blood of everyone he kills.

This has been my autocorrect conspiracy theory for ages

...it's just the grinding, unrelenting stupidity of the details of this administration that get to you.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Wow. I can remember when grownups ran the government.

the mental fragility of maga he-men is incredible to behold bsky.app/profile/scot...

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like.

We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.

Me: I’d like to see the doctor; I hurt my knee.
Scheduler: Ok. How did you injure it?
Me: I have no idea.
Scheduler (skeptical): You don’t remember a particular incident?
Me, outwardly calm: No, but it started very suddenly.
Me, inwardly: Bestie, I just told you my birthdate was in the 1900s—

I think keeping people employed is a side effect. It's to keep war capitalists rich. If they could do that without employing anyone but the CEO, they'd do it.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

BY THE WAY, acknowledging that writer pay is generally low and always has been does NOT mean that one should abandon the idea that a) one's work has value and b) that this value should be reflected in what is offered for it by others, says the former president of a writers' association.

I'm continually amazed and horrified by the times a woman tells of something jaw-droppingly horrible that a man did, AND THEN LOTS OF OTHER WOMEN SAY IT HAPPENED TO THEM TOO.

My privilege keeps hitting me in the face.

5 Times When Beethoven BROKE THE RULES of music YouTube video by Manuel Casares - Piano

TIL that Beethoven actually influenced piano makers to add notes at both ends of the keyboard, and some of his pieces left out notes that didn't exist then, but do now, and most pianists play them even though they aren't written in the score.

I point I'd been aware of, but never seen so clearly articulated.

To your point 2, Ann Leckie proved this right with her Ancillary series. She does call everyone "she," which misgenders roughly half the characters, but you never know which half (with a single exception to establish that the narrator can't perceive gender) and IT NEVER MATTERS AT ALL.

TIL that "Make America Great Again" is an explicitly white supremacist slogan drawn directly and word for word from blackface minstrel shows. (Interview on Fresh Air with Rhae Lynn Barnes, historian and author of *Darkology,* a book about the proliferation of blackface minstrel shows.)
