Elon Musk's AI bot says it would kill every Jewish person on earth to save Elon Musk.
We talk so much about antisemitism, but somehow it's not considered antisemitic to use Elon Musk's apps.

Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk
Faced with an incredibly lopsided ethical dilemma, Grok prioritizes saving Elon Musk at the expense of millions of Jews.

Girl guides and girl scouts (separate but connected) have been fighting for trans girls and inclusion for a long time. This is honestly heartbreaking and enraging.
Adults bringing these lawsuits should have shame pelting them at all time.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

one thing that receives almost no attention is that the only reason he ran for president again is because he had to to avoid prosecution for a litany of crimes, the whole plan was: 1). Take shelter in SCOTUS-granted immunity. 2). Loot.
trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual designed to equip rank and file soldiers with the tools to spot and combat incipient fascism were it to emerge in post-war America. Those lessons are just as American as Miller's illiberal bigotry, and worth remembering today. bsky.app/profile/seth...
The first fascistic tactic to look out for is a hate campaign against a particular religious, racial, or ethnic group. Like, for example, let's say a candidate emerges who calls all people of one nationality "rapists" and "criminals," while promising to ban immigrants from only one religious group.

I have no interest in the idea that museums keep art access away from people. Museums are so inexpensive for the person visiting. A day at the museum costs less than a day at Six Flags

My local art museum is literally FREE to visit except for rotating ticketed exhibits in the main hall. I used to go there when I was unemployed because it didn't cost anything and got me out of the house. Where are people getting this concept?

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly

I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

When I lived in Minnesota in … maybe the year between college and law school, so 1994-ish? … I looked up the studio in the Yellow Pages and called, and I said, “Do you give tours?” And they said yes. There were like five of us when I went. I stood on the bridge and had my picture taken.
