I can't decide which is more likely, that trump's addled brain can't cope with reading a single script out loud without getting distracted, or that he's so proud that he can't accept that any script wouldn't be improved by his ad lib.
I mean probably a little from column A and a little from column B

I wonder if there is a genuine case here for having your CV/Resume in human readable text first, and then just have font colour white for what you'd want fed into an AI engine. I don't know how much they are just looking for the "right" things vs excluding the "wrong" ones
Yes, this is incredibly funny but also horrifyingly valid. I am literally sitting here thinking I need to write my resume and cover letters like this. (Hi, here is me in my own words but also because the AI slop machine has taken over, here are some manufactured words to please the algorithm!)

If this was even approaching not the worst thing you can imagine, then why would he simply not have done it there and then, rather than explaining it?

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

The use of motorway services in this image really underlines this is about excluding people from public life. When you stop at a motorway services, you're on your way somewhere else. It's the most banal space possible. Now we'll all have to check we conform to gender stereotypes in order to pee.
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

The article notes the “Artist” has only 35k followers on Instagram, but millions of streams on Spotify, and has not taken over any of the actual song charts beyond “digital sales.” I can’t prove this is a faked campaign to push AI music, but those would be exactly the circumstances I’d expect.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.
