Watching the Kentucky Alabama game and the announcer just said that one of the Kentucky players hadn't played basketball for two years while on a mission. He has no idea.

This brain rotted loser who wasn’t even born in the U.S. is now our unelected president. Absolutely humiliating to be an American right now.

Watching the Gabby Petito documentary on Netflix and Brian Laundrie's parents were definitely accessories after the fact and can go straight to hell. What terrible people.

This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I'm registered for the 5-mile Coral Reef Swim Race in the USVI in November. Can't wait to have a fun little race during a later fall tropical vacation!

It's the sometimes wrong part that terrifies me. People won't go through the intellectual rigor to find out what is and isn't wrong. That makes AI LLMs godlike for those learning from it. One wrong thing feeds back into the model, compounding the problem

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.
