sorry everyone, Your Party was a skit I organized on leftist factionalism that got out of hand. I honestly thought the name was a big enough clue.

Only three sales away from finally breaking even on the gay frogs! 🥳🐸
I'm particularly pleased with how the frog photoshoot came out, after standing in my local canal for a couple of hours.
Plus, I got to use the #GayFrogs audio on the video, which was super fun 🐸 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4327...

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

Illegal immigrants DID infect the local residents of the continent. It just happened a few centuries earlier, and was smallpox.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino tries to blame the rise of measles cases in the U.S. on “illegal aliens,” an extremely common strategy among fascists historically.

With Netflix you at least got to watch the movie. Uber at least did give you the ride to where you were going. With this you get... what? A throwaway email draft? A legal filing full of errors and fabrications? An "epic roast of someone's appearance"? This is pet rocks

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.
