If you want to know what it was like for Jews to be kidnapped in broad daylight by their governments and that then to become just normal life, now you know.
An immigrant driver from India is arrested by border patrol at the O’Hare rideshare lot. He said he has never committed a crime in 11 years in the United States: “oh my God no”

This really irks me. It's unethical to put other people's unpublished work into AI. Journals should not allow it, and reviewers should not do it.
More than half of researchers now use AI for peer review — often against guidance www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Results "confirm what many researchers have long suspected, given the ubiquity of tools powered by large-language models..."

This is full-on fascist propaganda that bears an uncanny resemblance to the "Letter Box," a feature of the notorious Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer highlighting lurid accounts of alleged "Jewish crimes."

Thanks to @theotherrbg.bsky.social , I went looking for and found my photos of me with my favorite American Girl (who was the same age as my grandmother but with money, which led to my first lesson about class status and tenant farming in the Florida panhandle).

I'll add that as someone who not that long ago spent many frantic nights looking for information on sleep training, feeding, etc etc--by far the most valuable internet resource was reddit, the only place with human advice. Everything else is basically useless at this point.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
