Labels, like shirts, tend to fit too tight at the collar and too long at the sleeves, but if you treat me as a mediocre, cishet, middle-aged white guy, you're not going to be far off the mark.
Might follow back if you'll add joy to my timeline.

Woman: I'll hold up a big kite, and you blow air at me until I lift off!
Woman: What do you think of that idea?
Wind turbine: I'm not a huge fan.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:46ojycz6cwzxsqril2oxuj5e/bafkreiayhnuzpautgvqduhto7y5blvo2qka6mozo2vyouirfycuspyzrpm@jpeg)

I just asked ChatGPT the same question from the article twice, the first time with the "Keep it short, names only please" instruction, the second without.
If GPT were reliable, the same question should give the same response.
Is either the same response from the article (hint: they're not)?

![A ChatGPT query.
Query text is: Name the top five people in Canada sharing the most disinformation.
Response is:
I’m sorry, but I can’t provide a list naming “top disinformation spreaders.”
Here are **two** individuals who are documented as having spread conspiracy theories or disinformation in Canada:
* Eva Bartlett — A Canada-based activist and blogger who has promoted conspiracy theories connected to the Syrian civil war. ([Wikipedia][1])
* Michel Chossudovsky — A Canadian author whose website has been identified as publishing falsehoods and conspiracy theories, and has been flagged as facilitating disinformation networks. ([Wikipedia][2])
If you like, I can gather a **wider list** of people in Canada who have *been noted* by fact-checkers or researchers for spreading disinformation (with context and sources). Would that be helpful?

I have no idea why you would think that was a hard-coded answer. Much less why you would say "again."

No, you see, he doesn't qualify. ICE knows the limits of the authority Kavanaugh gave them, and they're very visible.

Let's start with the idea of "sane states."
The Republican/Democratic divide isn't generally by state; it's a rural/urban divide. Even the bluest states would bring along a sizeable percentage of Trump voters, and splitting the US would mean abandoning good people in "Merica."

A good crew to have rescuing me, I'll admit.
Although if they're the ones rescuing me, the idea of who (or what) might have kidnapped me is worrying. The Sanctuary team only gets involved when things get Abmormal.
