I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Chicago Sun-Times Prints AI-Generated Summer Reading List With Books That Don't Exist 🔗 www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

Reading about “meta-cognition,” or teaching AI to think about its own reasoning. Latest thing, next up is metameta-cognition, invest now. <8^)

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. - Anne Frank

From the N&O Editorial Board: "Each of these judges has brought shame to the judiciary and embarrassment to North Carolina. All voters should remember their names." Chief Justice Paul Newby Justices Phil Berger Jr, Tamara Barringer & Trey Allen Judges Fred Gore & John Tyson

That is a killer biz idea, wish I had thought of it. <8^)

🚨BREAKING: Federal District Court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn North Carolina Supreme Court election result. Orders the state to certify the results of the election and not proceed with the cure process. Congratulations to our clients, the ELG team, Justice Riggs and the voters of NC!

This Teacher Appreciation Week, it’s time for action. Teachers shape our future, yet they’re underpaid, classrooms are underfunded, and Republicans are falling short—again. It’s time we raise teacher pay and fully fund our public schools because our future depends on it.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

The Town of Carrboro released a traffic alert Thursday afternoon following a car crash that brought down multiple power lines. The release also asked that residents avoid the downtown area overall.

A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day. Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

……you are wondering why this is?

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

Okay, cleaned this, it's ready to slap on some stuff I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

I can not stay a-woke, dreaming of all the winning <8^)

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Spokeswoman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

Oops.. “China makes more than 70% of lithium ion batteries….more than 99% of the electric toasters, heated blankets, calcium, and alarm clocks coming from China.” finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Never fails

….you didn’t see it coming. Ha! Did you get the insider tip to jump back in the market today @1 ET? Def easy money for those in the know! Total 3d chess move!

MAGA be like "he has a plan, he's playing chess not checkers" and the whole time he's literally just playing golf.

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders... Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

The thing we learned from Web2 is that the most impactful businesses became the most impactful by optimizing for addiction. Which means we should all ask, how would you optimize generative AI for addiction? Whatever makes it the most addictive is probably what it will become.

#GVerse 🤔

Yes, yes, YES!!! 🥃

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Wow the exact thing genAI creators intended, for their users to become psychologically dependent and chemically addicted to their product, is happening, who could have seen this coming futurism.com/the-byte/cha...

…you voted for a guy who doesn’t like dogs and cheats at golf. <8^)

…you believe “tariff” is the most beautiful word in the English language. <8^)

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far

But I have words That would be howl’d out in the desert air, Where hearing should not latch them.
