They're fucking INSANE.

Every female legislator in the country needs to start turning the tables NOW, start introducing bills to legislate MEN'S bodies!

I'm quite sure that highly intelligent and legally trained women can find ways to harass and embarrass male legislators if I can!

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Learning With AI Falls Short Compared to Old-Fashioned Web Search
In virtually all the ways that matter, getting summarized information from AI models was less educational than doing the work of search.

How soon before we see lawmakers getting swatted because the president said they should be offed.
BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

“70 other human cases of bird flu have been reported in the US as part of the outbreak, according to the CDC. Another elderly person… died in January after a bird flu infection.”

There’s a bird vax but US farmers are forbidden from vaccinating their flocks. A human vax for bird flu is not available

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

These two men chased a disabled homeless woman out of a mostly empty industrial area parking lot where she parked her car to try to sleep.

The face of evil doesn’t look like a movie villain. It just looks like people like this. Laughing, smug, self-assured, as they attack people trying to survive.
