Grift is always the plan - #FollowTheMoney, what AI company is he invested in, who is giving him kickbacks? #Oprah should pay for unleashing his evil on us.
It’s very telling that “whether you want it or not” is a key phrase for every ai booster in the public sphere.
Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is advancing a $50 billion plan to modernize rural health care.

Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.
A New Version of Woke Is Coming. Conservatives Aren’t Going to Like It.
Liberals are getting meaner. It's all part of the plan.

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Its pretty pathetic that the "goal differential" is part of the calculation for the seeding for #Olympics #Hockey so it encourages running up the score on opponents. Not very sportsmanlike. If you're already ahead by 5 goals, you really don't need to rub their faces in the ice.

Frankly I can't believe every country didn't do this after that first term where he had a private meeting with Putin that wasn't transcribed, or after the North Korean visit. Its been one big threat & grift ever since.

How about that tv person checks themselves in for a month with no contact with anyone, and then let them continue to argue whether or not they are concentration camps!
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Cambridgeshire as a Saxon–Viking frontier was brutal. This execution pit beneath a peaceful country park may be the evidence. Cambridge students at a training dig expected pottery shards, not evidence of mass killing.

Homan on Minnesota: "There will be a small force, a security force, that will respond when our agents are out and get surrounded by agitators. They will remain for a short period of time to make sure the coordination, the agreements we have with local and state law enforcement stay in place."
