Can a journalist please preemptively end the Vance presidency by asking him if he'd rule out pardoning Trump for sex crimes involving children?

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

The LLM economy is powered by two incestuous cycles:
- A dozen AI companies pass the same billion dollars back and forth to make it look like their costs are actually revenue
- AI-generated "knowledge" infiltrates our sources of truth, and is then scraped back into the training data
- A dozen AI companies pass the same billion dollars back and forth to make it look like their costs are actually revenue

OpenAI and Anthropic were already running up against the limits of available data in 2023, and facing model collapse as a result of synthetic data.
Now they have run out of money, and are relying on what is effectively synthetic funding.

We now have multiple visualizations of this phenomenon from various news organizations. Which one is the best?

What if, and stay with me, the barbaric and imperious way the United States responded to 9/11 is an enormous part of how we got here
SecDef announcing another illegal strike in the Caribbean against “narco-terrorists.”
Says the Pentagon will treat these alleged drug smugglers “EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda.”
I can think of a few relevant differences between the two, eg 9/11, etc.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

I'm sorry but the first advice is correct. You can say "whispered harshly" or you can say "hissed."
So many people want to argue with writing advice. This is just one tip, you can follow it or ignore it. One choice will improve your writing!

The real advice is to avoid redundancy (that doesn’t serve an intentional artistic purpose - all “rules” can be broken if you do it skillfully for a Reason, in art). “Whispered softly” is redundant in a way that “whispered harshly/loudly/sharply” is not.
