The AP didn’t used to be known for saucy headlines, but that whole Gulf of Mexico thing must have unleashed their AhFuckIt gene.

"A Knight's Tale" is a Thanksgiving movie. That's canon now. Like Die Hard being the best Christmas movie it's no longer a point of argument.

You're welcome.

Remember when downtown Nashville got blown up on Trump's watch by a Q-adjacent guy who believed the 5G towers were controlled by lizard people? That guy shoulda stuck it out I bet he could have gotten a gig on an HHS advisory board now.

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.

That’s…not the problem.

one thing i've noticed is that he seems to think they're giving him cognitive tests once a week or so now
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

How does someone not know what part of the body a MRI was looking at? This shit is so f-ing crazy.

If you spend decades undermining a liberal arts education, you get college students who can't write a decent essay. But you also get adults who can't recognize a decent essay and sincerely think the issue is the beliefs and not that reading this is painful.

I drew a clock and they’re saying that I came up with times that nobody else has ever even thought of before, Wednesday 35 AM, half past seventeen, 56 o’clock. They say it’s incredible. Almost terrifying.

So Trump still has no idea what part of his body the MRI looked at, but the results were awesome, but he knows it wasn’t his brain because he aced a dementia test. WE NEED THOSE MRI RESULTS.

you can’t ask the president about things he clearly does not have the power to do, because he is physically incapable of admitting he is not allowed to do something
Reporter: You said that you might denaturalize American citizens?

Trump: If we have criminals that came in and were naturalized through Biden or somebody that didn’t’ know what they were doing—if I have the power to do it… I would denaturalize

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

They're bogus but you can at least rationalize quasi-legalistic grounds for using military force against cartels, that they're a kind of combatant enemy. But killing people who are desperately clinging to wreckage in the open ocean is everywhere and always stone cold, undeniable, zero excuse murder.
