Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist.

I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
Trump has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after himself.

Earlier in the year, we reported on how Trump sent a DOGE team to the institute, where they publicly outed a sensitive Afghanistan program and prompted a Taliban crackdown.

Revisit our investigation ⤵️
DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family.
Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

This site's only redeeming quality is that it's not the Nazi one.

Otherwise... its userbase is truly awful.

Old and busted: The prestigious, international Nobel Peace Prize

Gold and trusted: peace prizes given out by soccer leagues
this shit is just beyond parody, man

yeah but have you seen my slurpee mixes tho
Just give him a participation trophy and be done with it. This is ridiculous, a soccer league awarding a Peace Prize? Next we'll have 7-11 awarding a Chemistry Prize (and if you've ever seen those hot dog rollers, they know something about chemistry experiments...)

Remember, for every 12 mg of Ivermectin, you need to drink at least 16 oz of bleach for it to really be effective.

lol can you imagine The Democrats™ opposing anything trump is doing?
since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying
"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

I can't believe this guy. Charges were thin???

His own political advisors pleaded guilty to charges that they had conspired with Cuellar to launder more than $200,000 in bribes from a Mexican bank.

Jeffries is always finding new ways to disappoint.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

Shotspotter and its ilk are garbage. It's a plain waste of money at best.
The proposed Chicago city budget has a $5 million line item for a ShotSpotter replacement. Abandoning this failed pursuit would free up the funds needed to maintain 2025 funding levels at our city libraries, which would still leave the libraries underfunded but would avoid disastrous proposed cuts.

God damn I can’t stand this person and only voted for her out of necessity.

For all the good that did.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
