This is also I believe the first OpenAI-confirmed decline in ChatGPT user growth. Uh oh!

Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate Mark Lamb running for Congress in Arizona on a family values platform has been accused of destroying his best friend’s marriage by introducing him to a swinger lifestyle. 💃🏻🕺

Hundreds of thousands of workplaces use software to monitor employees. Now, a new study has found that many of these tools share data not just with employers, but with digital advertising platforms and data brokers as well. Read more from @laurenfeiner.bsky.social:

"Unusual." Swirl that around the journalistic palate. "Unusual." You couldn't find a better and more informative adjective, #BrokenTimes?

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

Eoin Higgins and Hachette are asking for $178,732.50 in attorney's fees from Matt Taibbi.

Ok, I'll add one more thing which was weird that it wasn't noted in this piece - that this lawsuit is a specific and desperate attack on a journalist to try and shut him up and get back at him for printing his own words. It's also an attack on community organizing as an idea.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Please check out this trailer of a new doc series that I filmed a bit for by Ford Fischer on the Boogaloo movement. It's really fucking incredible. youtu.be/yWWwul-Tw1I?...

This Mike Richards is now heading The Daily Wire. What a weird ass career.

Some good news! Now, to see which 21 aldermen are OK with Chicago Police officers with ties to hate groups...

Had to read this a couple times because it was so inconceivable it was something good

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

I FOUND THE COMPLAINT armedforcesbrewingco.com/wp-content/u...

I genuinely struggle to understand what these people think is going on

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

If anyone in the media is looking for a quote in response to the $50 million lawsuit that was just filed against me and others. Here is my only statement until I speak to my lawyers: “lol.”

This is why I always say give money to journalists directly. Don’t give it to some huge fucking “nonprofit” that has millions of dollars in administrative assholes Visu.news

So NPR is doing layoffs. I found it fascinating that it’s always Journalist at NEWS organizations that end up getting fired… Never the wildly overpaid c-suite do nothings.

If you're wondering my stance on Ai... If you're not calling for the pushers of Ai to be hung, you're a pro-AI supporter and should be put into appropriate lists. There is no centrism when it comes to Ai.

Here's hoping that the entire new and used car purchasing model dies in a 2009 level collapse and takes ever dealer and every employee that worked at a dealer into abject poverty. May they all die in the same cesspool of shit.

Generative AI should be limited to a classified, air-gapped lab in Antarctica with a single mission — creating Orson Welles on Hot Ones.

A side note. There is anti-semitism for discrimination against Jewish people. There is Islamophobia for discrimination against Muslim people. Why is one an "ism" and the other is a "phobia?"

Democrats have a long stance of not giving a shit about Islamophobia as a party.

I went down to the DC National Mall for the Rededicate250 event. Check out my field report here, plus my convo on CNN and NPR. open.substack.com/pub/robertpj...

Just a reminder - having Spotify as an app - and literally funding Joe Rogan is a choice. There are multiple other options. If you're complaining about their sucky new app design - fuck you.

If you can, throw a couple bucks Porco's way.

I just want to place my flag in the "You Do Not In Fact "gotta hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene" camp as someone who wrote about this in 2025. She is not a person who should ever receive forgiveness or acceptance. open.substack.com/pub/visunews...

Hey if anyone else if interested in tracking Ai opinions/takes of CEO's and actors... I've started a google sheets. If you'd be interested in contributing - DM me.

We mourn with the San Diego Muslim community after a deadly shooting at the Islamic Center today. Our hearts break for the loved ones of the victims and at the images of children being led to safety. We must confront Islamophobia clearly, urgently and without hesitation.

Two people just shot up a mosque. Look at this three days ago:

After about two hours of deliberation, the jury has reached a unanimous verdict in Musk v. Altman, the tech trial of the year. They found that two claims were barred by the statute of limitations (& a third failed thanks to the dismissal of one of these). www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Why is The New York Times digging up these corpses from the cemetery of the Republican Party? (He asks knowingly)

Am I the only one who never sees similar articles about what people that live in cities think?
