"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reporter: How long do you expect the U.S. to run Venezuela
Trump: I would like to do it quickly but it takes time. Their infrastructure is rotted. It is very dangerous. Oil is very dangerous. We will take a lot of money out so we can take care of the country.

Men are using Grok to undress women and children on Twitter. When asked to stop, their response has largely been to tell women it’s their own fault for posting photos (à la “what was she wearing?”). Elno is aware and refuses to stop it because, well, he likes it. We need regulation of AI yesterday.
