My wife got saw a post for one of her friends on Facebook today telling people to wear red. A few people said they would. My wife asked the person why. Apparently today was his birthday. She is glad she asked and made sure she didn't wear red.
So if you see someone wearing red today...

We need to keep the pressure on Tesla. I checked AutoTrader and Cars .com and the values of used Teslas have slipped so much that most of them are rated as good deals, since the price trackers are lagging the falling prices.
We need to strongly discourage people from picking up cheap used Teslas.

AI scientists have been trying to remove bias from their models for some time now. What Trump wants is actually different. He wants AI that is biased towards his ideology. He will consider anything else biased against him.

So when the NFL changed the words in the end-zone from End Racism to Choose Love, were they signally who they had chosen to win the game? Think about it. Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love, so if you Choose Love, you are choosing Philadelphia. The conspiracy goes all the way to the top.

Trump and the Maga crowd have a really warped reality. They want a task force to eradicate 'anti-christian bias'. The one religion that doesn't need to worry about bias in the USA is christianity. They are literally putting bibles in schools:
