I am shocked, disappointed & appalled at the lazy necromancy on display here. Listen, if you are going to resurrect a jangly terrapin meat puppet then for God's sake, make sure you tighten up those tendons so it doesn't fall apart in front of crowds. Do you want your herb sachet to fall out?

I would have gone with the whole truth:

"Online trolls said I couldn't mock a Texas Licensed Lawyer without being a Texas Licensed Lawyer, so I became a Texas Licensed Lawyer out of spite and mocked the Texas Licensed Lawyer for two years."

A lot of people are making fun of this so I think it's worth putting in the proper context: two paragraphs later he claims to have felt the presence of God while off-roading.

"I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle," says Roger Davis, a Cybertruck owner.

Davis also uses the Grok feature in the car: "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist."

We can lock them up with all the ICE agents on Epstein's island together

After we blow up all the house parts of it of course

And maybe fill it with ants

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

I mean I guess I kind of do since I think firing off volleys of 30-50 cruise missiles at a time from Polish airspace would shut down what's left of the Russian military pretty quick

Mitchell Horton @jarlent.bsky.social · 15h

so I'm not saying I hope Trump gets mad at Putin and starts a war

But also someone is going to get "first air strike using a cargo plane and a shipping pallet"

And I want it to be us damnit

Mitchell Horton @jarlent.bsky.social · 15h

Look I don't like Trump, but he's a maniac and nobody knows what he might do

And the US has this system where we just shove a pallet of cruise missiles out of the back of a plane and they *all launch at the same time*

And Ukraine already has the first "containerized aerial strike" we need our due

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare.

Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

Intermittently but yes Wonton has been being beat up by Lentil regularly

He's Bitty 2.0, Haley bought him an oxygen cage for his shriveled lungs and he's grown too powerful

That boy is corrupt 👹I've been fostering Lentil since he was 6 weeks old and could barely walk a few steps without collapsing and struggling for breath. He literally has his own oxygen chamber set up in my apartment because his first couple of months were super scary. Now at 3 months old, he can successfully torpedo through my home like a maniac and suplex my cats without going into respiratory distress. He's alive and he's about to make it everyone else's problem 👏 #lentilyappington #friendsofbearcatrescue #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram

I'm from the South and we barely send white kids to school, so that idea was probably never mentioned down here
