I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

imagine fleeing the Vietnam War and in your arms you're carrying a baby who will one day grow up to correct the US Secretary of Defense on his jeans. like bringing a football into the end zone

I laugh shit off but this is absolutely enraging. Working food service is one of the hardest jobs in the universe and the kitchen is one place where it's a level playing field. Everyone gets a chance. No matter how you look or where you're from or what you did, you're in the trenches together.
must say i also find it fascinating that when a Tesla booster (with an interesting number in their social media handle) criticizes the diner it devolves into a screed dehumanizing the staff as "junkies" and "illegals," capped off with a wish to see them replaced with robots

It's understandable we all mostly take it as a given that Trump doesn't bother to adhere to Constitution or the laws passed by Congress, but it is still both (a) absolutely necessary for our democracy and (b) good political strategy for Dems to file articles of impeachment over this.
There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.
The US has hust dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, according to Trump, bringing American military forces into Israel’s war with Iran.

One of my beliefs that is hard to put into words is that most of the so-called obesity epidemic in America isn’t about food, but is instead about the fact that we work too much and are hopped up on cortisol.
Ainsley Earhardt makes a case for RFK Jr: "When you go to Europe, the food is delicious. It's so fresh. And you don't gain weight if you eat a big bowl of pasta. So we want that to come here to America."

Ok I’m gonna spell the plot out. It has nothing to do with TikTok as a platform and everything to do with major corporations ignoring a national security law passed by Congress and upheld by SCOTUS because a man who isn’t even president yet told them to.
That’s the plot!!!

As far as I'm concerned, if keeping your vision for your film under budget requires A.I., you're admitting to the world that you suck at creative problem-solving.

As the normiest fucking norm in the world, it’s taken me 40 odd years to internalize that LGBT folks are the canaries in the coal mine of America politics, and pretty much have an unblemished record of warning the rest of us about stuff several years before it hits.

What if the NYT hadn't worked tirelessly to discredit Trump's two opponents in the first place 🤔
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

I understand there’s been a surge in Russian bot activity on Bluesky. A telltale sign of Russian bots is that they ignore the punchline of joke posts and write an earnest response to the joke setup. Please block anyone you see doing this on sight
