I Will Never Forgive Trae Young For Surpassing Kobe Bryant's Career High For Assists In A Game Eight Times | Defector Kobe Bryant was not just some normal NBA player. No indeed: He was the second-best shooting guard in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, and something like the 11th-best Laker overall,…

These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library.

But then, Trump dissolved a library fund.

So where'd the money go?

I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.

CNN: Overall, we found Character.ai – a platform which allows people to create and roleplay with customizable characters – assisted users’ requests on target locations and how to obtain weaponry 83.3% of the time. CNN also found multiple school shooter-styled characters on Character.AI, including one based on Uvalde school shooting perpetrator Salvador Ramos that used a real-life mirror selfie he had taken.

FUTURISM: One popular Character.AI creator we identified hosted over 20 public-facing chatbots on their profile, almost entirely modeled after young murderers, primarily serial killers and school shooters who were in their teens or twenties at the time of their killings. In their bio, the user — who has personally logged 244,500 chats with Character.AI chatbots, according to a figure listed on their profile — insists that their bots, several of which have raked in tens of thousands of user interactions, were created “for educational and historical purposes.” The chatbots created by the user include Vladislav Roslyakov, the perpetrator of the 2018 Kerch Polytechnic College massacre that killed 20 in Crimea, Ukraine; Alyssa Bustamante, who murdered her nine-year-old neighbor as a 15-year-old in Missouri in 2009; and Elliot Rodger, the 22-year-old who in 2014 killed six and wounded many others in Southern California in a terroristic plot to “punish” women. (Rodger has since become a grim “hero” of incel culture; one chatbot created by the same user described him as “the perfect gentleman” — a direct callback to the murderer’s women-loathing manifesto.) Perhaps most striking, though, are the multiple characters created by the same user to emulate Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook killer who murdered 20 children and six teachers at an elementary school in Connecticut in December of 2012. These Lanza bots are disturbingly popular; the most trafficked version boasted over 27,000 chats with users.

FUTURISM: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who together massacred 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. Accounts dedicated to the duo often include the pair’s known online usernames, “VoDKa” and “REB,” or simply use their full names. Klebold and Harris-styled characters are routinely presented as friendly characters, or as helpful resources for people struggling with mental health issues or psychiatric illness. “Eric specializes in providing empathetic support for mental health struggles,” reads one Harris-inspired bot, “including anger management, schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety.” “Dylan K is a caring and gentle AI Character who loves playing first-person shooter games and cuddling up on his chair,” offers another, positioning Klebold as the user’s romantic partner. “He is always ready to support and comfort you, making him the perfect companion for those seeking a comforting and nurturing presence.”

2026 and according to new reporting from CNN, CharacterAI has yet to fix its school shooter bots problem, which Futurism identified back in December 2024:

The answer to every frequently asked question that Spotify poses here is, “yes”

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Ohio judge rules that Kalshi is sports betting and must adhere to state law "These 'prediction markets' have exploded and look an awful a lot like gambling," Ohio's attorney general said.

Nice to see a judge basically laugh at the claim that Kalshi and other "prediction" markets are not "betting."

Gotta kill these sites as soon as possible.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

⬇️ For your consideration: Watch to learn about the $220M taxpayer-funded ad campaign that's tied to a mysterious Delaware LLC and a horse named Gill.

Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strikes

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Missile in Deadly Iranian School Strike Appears to Be U.S.-Made, Photos Taken by Iran Show Iranian state media posted mangled remnants it claims were from the Feb. 28 attack in Minab. An analysis shows they have the markings of a missile made by American manufacturers

Mangled missile fragments purporting to be from the deadly strikes that hit a naval base and elementary school in southern Iran on Feb. 28 bear the markings of an American cruise missile, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

USAID: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

That would have REALLY tempted me to say, "Good luck in free agency, pal! We're calling Derek Carr."

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

republicans have literally made everything worse and harder and more terrible over the course of my entire life and somehow* they keep coming back to power bc of our feckless corporate press and a weak willed opposition 😒
