yeah this is child abuse sorry
Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”
‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?
Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+

It's telling that as Trump threatens a military takeover of cities, actively censors universities, imposes his politics on private companies, and weaponizes the DOJ against his critics, reactionary centrists who've made free expression their core issue . . . are still focused on wokeness.

One of my more right-wing coded beliefs is that we should facilitate a better public understanding of how the military operates as well as how that ties into foreign relations and diplomacy because we spend so fucking much on the military and barely understand what it does and how
I like to read posts where people with military expertise dunk on everything wrong with our military and its plans. I’m nodding along to all the initialisms I don’t understand. Classic JSTV-10.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

The Nazis who sold the fake Mamdani application story to the New York Times find it scandalous because they think of race like Nazis do: an inherent human biological taxonomy. In their mind no one could ever be both “white” and “African,” for instance. This is what the Times is promoting

I wrote about a New York judge who tried to get out of jury duty and accidentally got out of his job

Turns out saying you're not impartial and think everybody who appears before you is guilty is *checks notes* bad, and *puts finger to earpiece* not good
