I asked a local LLM "Is 42 the answer?". In response, I got a continuous stream of repeating text: "to be or to be toes to be to toes to be or not to be to toes to be or not to be thees to be"

Paying my parent's bills: Their prescription plan billing site is one of the worst I've seen. I don't know how someone who isn't used to working with dodgy websites all day can navigate this, much less someone in their 80's who is having trouble remembering things.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

Welcome to America, where speech used to be free.
“State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship'”

🤔Trump’s fact free administration of crime, greed & mediocrity doesn’t want those who are better educated & experienced truth tellers coming to U.S., now that they’ve succeeded in dumbing Americans down to GOP levels.
State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship'
The order is focused on applicants for H-1B visas, which are frequently used by tech companies and is part of a campaign by the Trump administration against online content moderation.

Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees.

Strength is the only true guarantor of peace for the EU.

Kash Patel must have forgotten to tell the American people this part yesterday. Must have slipped his mind.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.

China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

A landmark study on the safety of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the controversial herbicide Roundup, has been formally retracted by its publisher, raising new concerns about the chemical’s potential dangers.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, aims to shield its manufacturer from lawsuits.
