"There is a clear mental health crisis going on in the Oval Office right now. He is detached from reality. Every politician and pundit, every journalist...knows this. It should be the biggest story in our media. But, shamefully, it isn’t."

Mehdi's Monday morning roundup of an increasingly unhinged US president, a new pro-Palestine Irish president, the big Mamdani/AOC/Bernie rally in Queens, and Gavin Newsom's 2028 plans.

I "interviewed" ChatGPT about its pretensions to consciousness last week. ChatGPT waxes nicely philosophical and, yowza, agrees with my premise that Musk's wacko insistence his Grok AI emulate the political persuasions of his own scurvy brain is Bad Seed stuff.

We were just in La Ciotat, France, for a couple of days. Fun getaway. We flew on Lufthansa. A friend of mine found out I was there and messaged me asking if I could bring back a kilogram of Robusta coffee for him. I couldn't comply, so by way of letting him know, I just sent him this:
#humor #witz

A joke infographic in German I asked ChatGPT to make showing nine things one shouldn't have in hand luggage, all reasonably accurate except for the middle one depicting a package of Robusta coffee.

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
