A 16yo’s journal in the files contains accounts of their abuse, written using magazine clippings and a basic cipher, and next to a clipping of Ivana Trump talking about trying to retain dignity in her divorce, the text reads “Does this lady know you can’t have any dignity if you’ve been with him?”
I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

Now that the Washington Post has stranded its journalists in faraway locations (including ones with no electricity) in order to appease an autocrat, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” retroactively reads as a threat
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Pretty funny that if Mejia (who openly calls the Israeli campaign in Gaza a genocide) ekes this out, it’ll be partially the result of a bungled AIPAC campaign against Malinowski (who said he “would not deny anything Israel needs to defend itself” but is open to the idea of conditioning aid)
INBOX: the Democratic National Committee is forced to delete a premature congratulatory message to former Rep. Tom Malinowski in the #NJ11 special election primary to succeed Gov. Mikie Sherrill this morning.
DSA member Analilia Mejia, running on abolishing ICE, took the lead late last night.

This would be more accurate if they called it America’s “white nationalist divide”
The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

how do Great Replacement types contend with the 2024 election... "Democrats have been importing millions of illegals and 3rd world asylum seekers into the country to vote for them but then fumbling it by putting those voters off with left-wing cultural positions and mismanaged middle eastern wars"?

This is the kind of gutter racist shit that you'd only see reposted by the worst white supremacists 10 years ago. Nobody with any meaningful power would have this associated with them. In 2026 the POTUS posts it. That's where we are. That said, it smells of desperation.

I don’t know if Bezos is only now sincerely trying to return news to the yellow journalism era where plutocrats use it as a tool of influence and power or if he’s given up on/gotten bored of the attempt, but I think it’s naive to see these layoffs as a problem of media economics
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
