The way that Trump laches on to insane concepts is just mindboggling. Back in 2015-16 he just when on and on about how Hillary bathed her "computer hard-drives in acid" because he heard someone mention "BleachBit" and didn't understand it. Now its this autopen bullshit. Just fucking nuts.

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

One of the more charming characteristics of #chatgpt is how confident it is in its own abilities, even when those abilities don't exist. Today it offered to create a topo map then apologized and offered a PDF before finally concluding "the mapping tool is currently disabled."

This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )

Thank you very much. I accept this praise on behalf of my imaginary platoon members, who did all of the hard, imaginary fighting. And RIP to the virtual Russian soldiers who "died." chatgpt.com/g/g-6808eb07...

🚩Governor Newsom deployed CHP officers to “maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.” “It’s not (the CHP’s) job to assist in federal immigration enforcement,” Newsom said. “The fed govt is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. #HelterSkelterTrumpsAmerica

People don’t realize just how much damage this administration is doing to American science—and confidence in American science globally. Everyone I speak with inside is horrified…

Facing a BTG-sized element with armor, UAVs, and artillery with my light platoon. This might be difficult.

And just like that, I regret every penny I ever gave to the ADL. It wasn't much, but it apparently was a complete waste.

Having played ~6 scenarios now, I'm finding this to be quite fascinating, and as my eldest son discovered, you can ask for entirely different locations and eras. (I did a 101st airborne assault in 1944.) The narrator is overly positive. Everything the player does is "outstanding" and "brilliant."

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

I've been playing an text-based AI-bot generated modern military tactical game that is pretty remarkable. Also, feeling kind of smug rn.

You know what a "real President" a "strong leader" would do? He would warn Putin to not retaliate and make clear that any significant escalation on the part of Russia will be met by a counter-response. But Trump is a weak, cowardly fake president.

Um, is it just me, or is @ABC showing last week's #Jeopardy Masters episodes from last week again? Is that a mistake, or has ABC just given up?
