"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Exactly right.
They simply want the end product — whether it’s an actual production of art or music or the end result of hard work like a PhD — without doing the work.
It’s cheat codes all the way down.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

Biden's Pardons Are A Disgrace: Kids for cash human trafficking, abusing cancer patience, exploiting senior citizens, & historic civic embezzlement deserve consequences—not commutations

Some of these pardons went to rich people that exploited and destroyed poor marginalized communities. Fuck Biden, and fuck the false notion that the Democratic Party supports the working class.

Roughly, 16,666 minor kids get married a year vs 3,681 trans kids on HRT annually in average, with that second number being even smaller now due to the number of statewide healthcare bans that have been enacted over the last 3 years

I don’t believe in violence. It is because I don’t believe in violence that I do believe we should prevent it, not by making proclamations about how not to be violent, but by not robbing people of the chance to meet their physical and emotional needs.
Those who do the latter are doing violence.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

Say anything about Elon and the worst type of man will emerge to take the convo where he wants it to go - even when anti-E. They'll use any opp to start a pissing contest about who knows E lore better/ who is smarter. U don't get points for being anti-E when ur just as self-absorbed.

this is like the phase of leaving an abusive relationship when the abuser is FURIOUS you're gone even though they've been saying how much they hate you for years.
Daily Caller says that BlueSky “has already devolved into a deranged playground for the terminally online, the kind of liberals who might actually be insane. The kind who identify as autistic, transgender, polyamorous allies to pedophiles.”
