AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

Not only are X users marinating in a disinformation bubble, but viewing the posts of bots on X actively contributes American funds to overseas bot farms because of its financial reward system.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Why write something Donald Trump said that is a lie? At least point out that Donald Trump often lies when quoting him. He lied about Birthday card.

If you measure your success and faithfulness as a Christian by your ability/power to force cultural change ... your faith is based on Caesar, not Christ.
Christ commands us to point to what is better and will be in Christ's kingdom via sacrificial example, not cultural control.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Sooo disappointed in Bob Rae and Canada.
Dear Bob Rae,
You don't get paid to sit and listen. You get paid to stand up for Canadian values.
During the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine you used the word genocide numerous times.
The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide.
You're our ambassador.
Why the silence?

I hope the Sask party sees this
it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
Speaks for itself.
