This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Establishment Dems responding to the threatened annexation of Greenland by messaging about cost of living issues really don’t understand that to Europeans it looks like they either don’t see this as a crisis or are tacitly in favor of it. 1/x

Fixed the thinly veiled racism.
#Ottawa give no space to white supremacists from #Halifax in our city. Be a good citizen help the @en.ottawa.ca remove illegal postering.
These are not Canadians.
They do not hold our values.
Afford them no quarter and no comfort.

Minnesota should get the Nobel peace prize.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

This was sad to read. When my mom passed away, writing the obit was cathartic and my family valued being able to weigh in with memories, and took comfort in reading it in the months that followed. I can’t imagine ceding that privilege to a computer.
I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.
New: A few weeks ago, when my father-in-law died, the funeral home asked if we wanted to use AI to write his obituary. So I dug into it and found that it's the biggest new trend in "death care." Tens of thousands of AI obits have been made already. Often the families don't even know wapo.st/4okuxIg
