Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

They’re saying it openly now. It’s racist. It’s antisemitic. It’s misogynist. It’s transphobic. It’s a lot of things, and all these things are wrapped together.
White supremacy came under attack, and it’s willing to destroy everything as long as it continues to exist.

The anti-DEI bullshit is about a lot of things: racism, the fact that white men can’t handle competition and their egos are hurt by the fact that people are realizing they’re not inherently the best and smartest.
But it is also about keeping women from being able to leave men.

I submit that they are all of these things AND stupid and it makes me feel worse bcs they’re succeeding despite their blatant incompetence because people agree with their racism and bigotry and evil.
Say it with me now. They aren’t stupid, they are bigoted and evil and supremely racist. Now you try saying it out loud and in your posts and headlines. Calling them

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."
It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

one of the really fundamental unspoken US ideas for a long time was that men above a certain social level should never face consequences. this bought us Trump 2 in two ways, both in the failure to punish him and in the rage about MeToo breaking this rule
