It's impossible for me to comprehend the level of evil necessary for Hegseth to use the full force of the US military to kill random people just for fun. Incomprehensible, sickening, I wish hell were real.

Anyone who ran with “does MAHA have some good points about toxins and healthy eating” as a frame on any of this is a mark

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I'm sure Suno could create a "generate random song" feature that didn't require any prompts. You could probably use it three times max before getting bored again.

I've been treating ChatGPT like intravenous drugs—not even once—and it hasn't steered me wrong yet.
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.
