John Fetterman survived a stroke in 2022, which would be considered a pre existing condition.

He has a defibrillator for vfib, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000.

He was one of 8 Dems who voted to gut the ACA and reopen the government.

He doesn’t have to worry, he has healthcare for life

First, I'm surprised at the idea that typing something at an "agentic" LLM should be considered "a form of programming".

Is clicking an html button with a mouse programming? Entering a search query? Rolling a die and taking action based on the result?

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

No JD, couch fucker, Vance. Immigrants are not the issue. Greedy corporations buying up properties is the problem

Oh wait, dont you own a corporation that buys up properties and sells them to foreign entities?

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.

It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.

Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.

You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

A huge district court victory for the University of California.

District courts find facts. This one found "overwhelming evidence" that the Trump administration has pervasively violated the First Amendment in its efforts to coerce and intimidate the University of California.

Trump just “withdrew” support for Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Translation: she’s becoming inconvenient.

When he cuts distance...it usually means someone’s getting too real or too independent.

In politics, that’s often the first sign they’re finally doing something RIGHT.

Well this is problematic, this story is going around on facebook, AI thinks its real because there are websites pushing it— no sources— children in the image appear to be boarding from no visible dock.

This denigrates the work that thousands of real women did in establishing library services.

The sofa masseuse!
Tell the sofa masseuse that housing markets are now divided between COVID hot spots which have cooled dramatically and now have a glut;

and post-COVID locales where no one is moving because they locked in their low rates and would rather stay put.

Not one thing to do with immigration.
JD Vance: "One of the biggest challenges that we have in the housing market, aside from too many illegal aliens who are taking the houses of American citizens, is that in the blue states you're not building enough houses."
