Trump has effectively become a dictator. The Supreme Court works for him. There is no longer a legislative branch, and he is now spending our tax revenue as he sees fit, with no check. They’ve willed their traiterous unitary executive fantasies into being.

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month
ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults. 12:02 PM · Oct 14, 2025 · 1.2M Views

On this day in queer history: Oct 14, 1977

During a live TV appearance in Iowa, anti-gay activist Anita Bryant was hit with a pie in protest of her “Save Our Children” campaign. A sweet moment of queer resistance.

I couldn’t stop sending this to people when I first found it on YouTube. Endlessly entertaining and illuminating now as I’m sure it was then.

Happy birthday to the US Navy.

And in particular to the captain of the USS Missouri.

Who, when Cher walked out on deck in this, not in the jump suit they'd been promised, went:

"Ah. Fuck it. YOLO."

And later almost got stripped of command for it.

Jesse Burke is one of my favorite New England-based photographers and this essay doesn't disappoint.

A PERFECT example of Tempting Fate Tours + it ain't even ours!

Photographer Jesse Burke bought a 1966 Ford F-250 sight unseen. He was in Rhode Island; it was in Idaho. The friend who sent him the link went with Jesse to get it. (He was the more mechanically inclined of the two.)

Adventures ensued.
