Examples of how fascist untruths get regurgitated as fact by LLMs are ubiquitous, but this one is really jarring. The Harvard Kennedy School article Gemini scraped is entirely about how the claim is false. Gemini cannot parse this, instead sharing DHS propaganda as fact when you search her name.

What did Rumeysa Ozturk do?
DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege not a right.

Portland: if a streamer from out of state gets arrested or detained, perhaps wait to see if he gets more than a citation before donating $100,000+ to his "legal defense". that money is vastly in excess of what he might possibly need and could have gone to helping people in serious legal jeopardy

Block the White House. Quoting anything from it means I will block you too.

I’ve even just started grabbing at least 1-2 of common things when they’re on sale, if that’s the best I can do! My wee pantry is pleasantly stuffed with my most common food staples and it’s incredibly satisfying!

I have this saved in my camera roll to remind me that this voice is not to be taken seriously.

I truly think one of the most helpful therapy concepts I got this year was to imagine my imposter syndrome as a duck on a string that we all have to drag along with us, and remind myself that when it quacks, it's to be ignored.
I will defeat you, string duck!

good morning! Block every US government account! Don't follow, definitely don't reply or repost them. They are not here in good faith, and have already said they're here partly to find "visa violations".

My first colonoscopy is tomorrow.

I am SO hungry.

I have jello, lemonade, tea, broth, and Gatorade Zero, but I am still SO HUNGRY.

I was thrilled to be able to elect the pills instead of the liquid prep, but am dreading the after effects.

Still, cancer sucks, so I must persevere.

The problem is, our broken two-party system ensures my vote MUST go to harm reduction, so anything to the left of the right-of-center Dem platform may as well not exist.

Outside of local elections, I hesitate to “waste” my vote when at least the Democratic candidate is likely to kill fewer people.

You might have seen pictures from booklets depicting sins (including 'I drank so much I had to vomit'). But what was the purpose of these booklets and how many of them are there? Tine Van Osselaer and I sought it out in a new article that is now published: journals.lub.lu.se/STK/article/...

Two hand-drawn images from a booklet. On the left page, a woman lies passed out next to a table with drinks and the text 'Ebria fui'. On the right page, a woman is vomiting, with an interested pig next to here and the text: 'Ebria fui usque ad vomitum'

It's a nippy 35°F (1°C) outside, my windows are partially open, and it's 60°F (15°C) inside my apartment.

Living on the upper floor definitely has its advantages!

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and
social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing
their jobs. The Departrnent of Justice will continue engaging tech
companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent
violence against federal law enforcernent.

Thank you! And yes, please! I’ll have a PET scan around the 1st week in November and that will truly tell the tale if I’m cancer-free!
