"De donde eres?" the agent asks. Where are you from?

...

"Quiet!” the agent screams. “You had your chance to be peaceful."

Higher measurements of snow are possible in "an Ottawa." It could be the Ottawa in Illinois, or it could be the one in Ontario.

We don't know for sure.

The way this would go is Kelly would say The Enlistment Oath says "Follow Presidential orders according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice" & Article 92 of the UCMJ specifies "lawful" orders only, so I was correct. Also, Geneva Conventions.

And the court martial would say "Yes, that's correct"
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Thanks, Dr*pbox. What I really wanted and needed in your hellscape was not timely file syncing, but emojis in file names.

Kudos to digital Lampwick on this bus, a disaffected youth who is using his phone to simulate playing pool.

Here's a horrible thought: LLMs are trained on stuff like S*mmers' and Epst*on's harassment advice correspondence.

Th*el fears the universities because they are on the verge of initiating interdisciplinary research among the MBA, abnormal psychology, comparative religion, and broadcast communications programs.
What is it with everyone leading a large company right now? Why are they all saying all of these insane things? What is it the root cause of all this religious talk? Why do they all have a victim mentality?
And more importantly, how can we stop hearing their stream of consciousness?

So someone has decided to live by the sword. What could go wrong? What possible negative outcome could there be to aligning against the city in a culture war?

I don't know whether this is a term in common use anymore, but when Methuselah here was a child/teen the big moral panic was Peer Pressure. What if "AI" that is just Large Language Model predictive text is effectively just an incredibly expensive Peer Pressure delivery system?
these chat replies are nauseatingly evil. like I'm actually sick to my stomach.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

Thank you to the NBA gamblers and to the Louvre burglars for injecting some levity into the grimness of national and world events.

Absolutely roasted.
frame: they're targeting criminals
negation: actually they're targeting ordinary people

kirby: it's a fascist attack. they're white supremacists doing ethnic cleansing. which is why they're saying everybody who isn't white is a criminal
These stops are not "at odds with the mission." The mission is to meet Miller's arrest quotas, to show that the administration can and will exact revenge on regions that do not comply in advance, and to create chaos to be used to justify stripping rights. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/24/f...

B*vin* is desperate for his agents to be assaulted. He will continue to fabricate attack stories out of locals following, filming, & yelling at them, until he becomes so desperate that he false-flags an attack & frames someone.
