If AI actually knew anything it would short circuit and die from impostor syndrome when confronted with this

I would imagine that Senator Kelly takes umbrage at everyone in the press calling him a former fighter pilot, when in fact he was an A-6 pilot. And as Navy attack pilots used to say, "fighter pilots make movies, but attack pilots win wars."

So a lot of people who have never seen silent movies might wonder how we can get so absorbed in them.
Well, the opening scenes of UP are essentially silent and people are still talking about how touching they are. That’s the power of visual storytelling

Amazon has now backed out of this project after sustained community opposition.
But this fight isn't over, and another tech giant could try to step into Amazon's place.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.
But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

It’s not our fault the right decided that not being a massive antisocial prick is left-coded now.
We actually didn’t do that. That was all them.
