Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

What does it mean when a Secretary of Defense won’t say on the record whether he will refuse to execute an illegal order? It reminds me of Communist China, not the America we know.

Do you know who else didn't have beds? Detainees at Nohra, the first Nazi concentration camp. They slept on blankets and straw in March 1933. No barbed wire, no crematoria, no mass executions. Those came later. Detainees were held in "protective custody" on the grounds of a military school.

This crisis in Iran is entirely because of Trump's shitty leadership. They stopped installing centrifuges until Trump ripped up the deal Iran made with President Obama—simply out of spite. Now he's barreling toward another poorly planned conflict in the Middle East. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

As the US flirts with war in Iran, it's important to note that any nuclear threat there is largely one that we created when Trump pulled out of the JCPO agreement in 2018. It can't be overstated how stupid that was. More explanation here: medium.com/cognitive-fe...

Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.
