Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Cognitively well people do not go nuts to tell people they are cognitively well.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

It would be impossible for me to stress the following enough: a statistical distillation of internet text is not an appropriate tool for military decision-making.
Sec. Hegseth rolled out the U.S. military’s new AI platform, GenAi.Mil, with a link to an empty website. trib.al/tbCJAkT

Predictably, the platform can’t actually be accessed from external networks, but the wonky rollout triggered eyerolls across the internet.

If you’re a billionaire or one of Trump’s family members, then this economy is great.

For everyone else, prices are up, wages are flat, and families are getting screwed.
POLITICO: I wonder what grade you'd give the economy

TRUMP: A+

POLITICO: A+?

TRUMP: A+++++

Putin installed his agent in the White House and the entire Republican Party went along. I wonder what the shade of John McCain is thinking.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Like QAnon, the election denial movement cannot exist if it ever finds the smoking gun of the 2020 election. Therefore, the evidence must always be just over the horizon — a movement that feeds off itself to live.
Trump: "It was a rigged election. It's gonna come out over the next couple months too, loud and clear. Because we have all the information."

Sam Altman seems like such a subnormal that his dumb toy IS probably better than him at parenting, in the sense that a wire hanger would be a better parent than Joan Crawford.

How is that a reasonable answer?
POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

This whole book is a hate crime. She's burning a cross on the front lawn of the English language.
There’s a sentence on page 2 that is longer than Bluesky’s character limit.

And the sole knowledge that sentence conveys is “Olivia was born on January 6th.”
