It really does say something about the character of our politics that in the midst of a uniquely fraught geopolitical moment, the sitting vice president makes time to attempt to troll an alternative social media website

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

To deliberately starve a population is already genocidal. But it isn’t happening fast enough for Israel, which seems to relish maximizing the amount of blood on its soldiers’ hands.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

"Only one pursuit mattered. Everyone listening should sell or mortgage everything they have, take out loans upon loans, and use it all to buy as much bitcoin as they could as quickly as possible." Could there be any clearer indication that this is all just a giant Ponzi scheme?

Today, children are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity. We ask how the world could have possibly let them happen. Future history books will shame those who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but chose to enable atrocity after atrocity instead.
