So as we unthinkingly turn the running of our precious world over to AI at the behest of billionaire man-boys who are leering date rapists at best & rapacious neo-Nazis at worst, my phone's AI has:
told me it's 11° "in the US"
predicted rain when it was 0°
responds in French randomly.

Hey, @scoutprime.bsky.social, I got some super blurry video of Snow Buntings today. I'm only posting this terrible cellphone video because I just wanted to prove to you that I saw Snow Buntings. 😆

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

It is so ORDERED.

We aren’t just a few quick hacks away from a livable system. The oligarchs will have to dispossessed & permanently driven out of existence to get off of this fucking fascist merry-go-round.
The regime-affiliated oligarchs who bought up Twitter, the Washington Post, CBS, and TikTok didn't do so to turn a profit.
They are taking control of the media to limit the public's ability to resist authoritarianism and oligarchy. If they run the outlets into the ground, that's fine.

I'd forgotten what a cowardly, Nazi, Trump-fellating piece of shit Eric Metaxas is. This sniveling toad calls himself a Christian & yet 1st c. Eric would have been smooching Nero's ass daily for nothing but a vicarious thrill in the cruelty and state violence against actual followers of Christ.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

This reminds me of a bleak Arctic listening post where people spent long winter nights looking for signs of a Soviet missile launch, wondering why those people saw us as enemies and wanted our deaths and unconditional surrender.
Now we wonder the same about our fellow Americans.
