“By copy of this TRUTH” lol

Trump policy: destroy, destroy, destroy

Good adjustment

Here it is. The reason why AI “writing” is not real writing. The reason why AI “art” is not real art. AI “creativity” is just a parody of the real thing. Here’s why. 👇

Veteran groups hoped a Trump executive order would supercharge housing for homeless vets. That hasn't happened, and veterans' advocates want to know why. n.pr/4dwUalO

Two inches of rain since 3:30 — my car should be nice and clean now 🚙

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

“Will his doctors be honest?” That’s an easy one. No one in this godforsaken administration is honest.

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

So is anyone keeping a running total on how much this corruption spree is supposed to be costing us? 📌$72 billion ICE expansion package 📌$1.8 billion slush fund for Trump allies claiming “persecution,” including Jan 6 rioters 📌$1 billion for Trump’s WH ballroom vanity project 🧵

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

After an Oklahoma family’s home was flooded with sludge, signs pointed to an unplugged oil well as the culprit. The state’s oil regulatory agency, however, continues to push explanations other than oil and gas. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

The United States now has over 40 MILLION Spanish-speaking Americans. That means America has one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations on Earth. Anyone pretending Spanish is somehow “foreign” to America clearly doesn’t understand America 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Also: conversational answers are a waste of my time. I want links I can evaluate for myself.

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

People are trying to snub but I used to talk about this all the time. It was a big deal when women went online and saw how men talk about women!

this would make a great exclamation

Buttigieg: "In my experience, Sen. Cassidy is a normal, honest, & very conservative Republican. It turns out people like that have less & less of a home in Donald Trump's Republican Party. We are seeing more extreme candidates. It's organized more & more around one man, who remains deeply unpopular"

Just unfollowed someone I’ve followed for quite a while because they’re posting AI slop — frequently.

Am I going mad? If you include a citation, you'd better have read it. Otherwise why the hell are you citing it?

I didn’t remember how much butter was in this oatmeal cookie recipe 😮🧈

Writers traditionally shed words in May, which can make them awkward and skittish. Don't worry, they aren't sick, don't have rabies, and probably won't bite. If you see one in the middle of it, toppled over, words spilling out of them, just put a cloth or cardboard box over their head. Do not feed!

Cisco reported record quarterly revenue Wednesday, then announced a restructuring that will eliminate about 4,000 jobs as it shifts investment toward AI.

This is SO ANNOYING. Chatty AI crap in the weather channel app.

Most likely the Kurds remember that Trump betrayed them once before.

Things that never happened for 600, Alex

Fran Lebowitz said, “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump,” and she is correct

View on this morning’s walk

The election of Donald Trump is going to go down as one of the most disastrous, calamitous own goals by a nation in the history of humanity. We’re really speedrunning through the consequences at this point.

New from 404 Media: ICE plans to develop its own smart glasses to "supplement" its facial recognition app, according to a DHS official told about the plans in a meeting. A second person who attended a conference this week heard a senior ICE official discuss the plans www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

Voting in an overwhelming wave this fall is vital, but it's also important to understand that Republicans are no longer wedded to electoral outcomes or committed to liberal democracy. They have already begun using force to exercise power and alter democratic behavior. It's going to intensify. 🧵

Ditto “elite,” which is how you get millionaires with national television shows railing against “elites,” by which they mean adjunct sociology faculty and the dozen print journalists still employed.

That’s because it *is*. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Trump threatens to kill 90 million people. Just a typical Monday in this administration.

I am really liking Third Eye Blind’s cover of “Heroes”. ❤️🎶

"The octopus on your plate can feel pain, delay gratification, and probably outthink a toddler. Just something to consider before you order."

Lessons for young writers. I particularly like (or rather hate) the clickbait one.

Keating to Hegseth on the administration's rationale for its deadly boat strikes: "We were given classified information on the second strike. I can't discuss it. But it's the most convoluted bullshit I've ever heard in my life."

Creepy, but sort of brilliant

ASU's new AI tool cannibalizes nuanced, thoughtful faculty lectures into sound bites and chatbot junk text: www.404media.co/asu-atomic-a...

Of course. Because AI was trained on writing by human authors — who all use em dashes, rule of three, etc

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Don’t Republicans ever get tired of crawling around on their knees in front of Trump

the american people made their will clear on november 5, 2024: we must end cancer research and redirect the engine of american prosperity towards annexing greenland, invading iran, and building the biggest and gaudiest ballroom in the history of humanity no president has ever had a stronger mandate
