America has had 17 presidents be the focus of assassination attempts.
That seems like an awful lot for a country that is only 250 years old and claims itself a bastion of democracy.

Well it's nice to see everything we've always suspected about these awful people is true.

Reminder that the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail editorial pages exhibit a human version of what AI calls "model collapse"—if you feed a language model its own output its output rapidly deteriorates into self-parody.
