Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.

Imagine having billions of dollars, with a b, and spending your time being bitter on main about the end of Apartheid, usurping the power of another country's government to bring it back
Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

What's happening now was both foreseen and foreseeable. The president's team promised to put federal workers in "trauma." And that's what's happening. (Story from October 2024)
“Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda
Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s “shadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.

I have not seen one democrat yelling about how Trump is canceling your mom’s cancer treatment, the absolute easiest layup in the political sphere right now. You’re all either tragicomically bad at this or you really do just not give a shit, and I can’t decide which one it is to be quite honest.
From a source inside the National Cancer Institute:
“Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”
