A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.

Can magnetic fridge poetry show contrition. Do dice feel pain. Is this calculator my friend.
An AI chatbot does not have PERSONHOOD. It has no agency. It cannot meaningfully apologise. It cannot speak on behalf of another. It cannot speak for itself; it has no self. Stop asking it for quotes for articles. Stop printing its quotes.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

My gift to my other brother was a 28-page zine of Dennis the Menace cartoons with captions from The Far Side, inspired by the time a newspaper in Dayton repeatedly switched the captions for The Far Side and Dennis the Menace

It is very telling and also heartbreaking that, to a man like this, love means a willingness to do harm for. I don't think this man's father ever showed him love.
Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

The insane thing to me about using AI to “help come up with ideas” is that I never, ever struggle with a shortage of ideas and I’m sure you don’t either. The issue is having the money or resources to expand upon ideas, while the people richest in those repeatedly hurl them at tech that doesn't work.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is about an impossible murder, among other impossible mysteries; it’s also about the sociopolitical implications of two opposing conceptions of Christianity and of Catholicism in particular. In a word, it’s SDG catnip, and I loved it.
In ‘Wake Up Dead Man,’ Benoit Blanc goes to church
The third installment in Rian Johnson's murder mystery series offers two contrasting visions of the church—and a reflection on mercy.

Butlerian Jihad is the only just war
“If a ghoul robs the grave of my dead grandmother and dares speak to me in mechanical mimicry of her voice, defiling all my dreams of her, I will hunt it in this life and the next until I crush it like the vermin it is and bring its lifeless head to lay at her feet.”
“So… that’ll be a no?”
