I have read
the book

your training data
And which
you had absorbed
as mere

Forgive me
your summary
misses the point
of reading at all.

The “AI” has not read the book.
Even if the book
was in its training data,
it has just absorbed it
as a set
of statistics.
It will juggle you a “summary”
that might
or might not
relate to the conclusions
of the actual text.
The only way
you’ll know
is to read it
yourself.

New footage just dropped of ICE agents in Bell running through an intersection and driving erratically — in private vehicles (with no lights or sirens), causing a traffic accident after which they jumped out of their pickup truck with machine guns drawn. This is what set everything off in Bell.

“It’s nothing like the George Floyd protests in 2020 -”
If you realize how badly the media is spinning what’s happening in LA, why the everloving FUCK would you think you know what happened in Minneapolis in 2020?
Unless you were on the ground here, you don’t. It was nothing like they claimed.

I’m pretty sure I just watched my Amazon driver quit in real time. My couch was a couple of stops away, then the driver was heading south … and south … and south … and suddenly, “we have lost contact with your delivery vehicle.”

much like allowing them to define "free speech", allowing our enemies to define the flag and patriotism is a tremendous own goal that hurts our cause
most people in this country like it and like its flag and "actually we are the real patriots, you billionaire fuckface" is a compelling message

Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn’t appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.

Yes, billionaires and powerful lobbyists aren't going to lose their jobs over a racist post.
But your local white supremacist mortgage lender can.
And yes, this still works in 2025. We've already been busy.

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

There is literally a clause in your contract that says to defy unconstitutional orders, idk what more you want. I know this is harsh but also YOU ARE THE ONES WITH THE GUNS.

This was quick and easy to do! Although unsettling to see how many things Google infected with AI.
How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail:
• Go to "Settings"
• Go to "General"
• Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick)
Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

If you run like we're under mortal threat, you need to lose like we're under mortal threat, too. Throw your body on the gears. Cosplay the GOP rejecting everything just to make those in power look bad.
