There is no congruent way to look at generative AI and think “this is the future.” The most well known fact about it is that it messes up all the time, the next being that it loses lots of money.

We should NOT be selling weapons to one of the worst human rights abusers in the world.
This should be a no-brainer.
MBS should be held responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — not welcomed at the White House to celebrate a multibillion-dollar arms package deal.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

What does circle jerk mean?
A circle jerk is when a group of men sit or stand in a circle and masturbate.
Figuratively, a circle jerk is group of people who are “getting themselves off” in the echo chamber of their own opinions or activities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2orsuabrdskjpuglpru77po2/bafkreigmton43ltcrsiijelmlcbkt2sentfvovdmnnj4up5kzavau73dom@jpeg)

My experience, personally and professionally, is that Republicans will always circle the wagons to protect a member who has said something controversial. Democrats, on the other hand — and organizations that cater to them — will immediately throw a person overboard for the same or a lesser offense.
Scum. An MSNBC commentator gets canned for speaking an obvious truth. And these folks get a clap on the back for promoting mass murder. Great country you’ve got here.

FBI Director Kash Patel stands alongside as Utah’s governor gives an update on the hunt for Charlie Kirk’s killer, who is still on the loose. They still don’t know the identity. Patel didn’t speak at the presser. None of them took questions.
