AI fail du jour:
The AI chatbot is the mechanization of modern politics: It spews words it thinks will "sound good" without regard to whether they are true or even meaningful.
I'm pretty sure Serp is not the three-letter abbreviation for anything. And Serpens Cauda is not the genitive of anything.

2) Those who object to the message are indelibly labeling themselves as fascist scum. It's more clear than ever what we're up against.

Pray tell, how can the frame be 36 mm wide when 35 mm movie film is only 35 mm wide? In reality, a Cinemascope frame is 21.95 × 18.6 mm, which is about the best you can do, after allowing for soundtrack and perforations. Cinemascope is widescreen by virtue of anamorphic lenses.

The chatbot just told somebody to replace a 10 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker «for safety».
Calling for a bigger breaker without understanding the details of the situation is scandalous malpractice.
If you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replace it ASAP if not sooner.

"Storming the Winter Palace" is a metonym for the Russian revolution (1917).

I'm not convinced that's a typo. After all, what other type of disease could he possibly have?

If they weren't filthy fascists they wouldn't be so fixated on a largely-imaginary network of anti-fascists.
This is an obvious ploy to make their dupes think antifa is bad, therefore fascists must be good. We are living through a replay of 1932-33 Germany.

You have to look at the big picture.
#proverb.
For example: If you have a big-picture model of a hurricane, you can make pretty good predictions about what the wind is doing at any point in the flow field.
In contrast, one measurement of the wind at one location tells you virtually nothing.
