It's always "well you should run for office yourself if you think they're doing a bad job" until a Democrat might have to actually defend their record

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

As a conservative college student, it’s my firm religious belief that the correct answer to every question, in this test or any other, is C, and if you don’t give me full credit then you are taking away my freedom of religion and secret police should take you away to protect free speech.

No sensible person should use an AI summary to make a determination about anything. But sensible people use Google and are presented with lies as the top results. So.

the president of the united states has raped countless children, people were killed routinely to cover this up, and absolutely fuck all will be done about it by anyone in power
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

Predictably, most of the comments blame conservatives for these types of policies. But I’m here to remind everyone that both Ds and Rs pass and praise policies that make child removals and adoptions easier, and haven’t done anything to support the material needs of at-risk families
In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

What Im appreciating are the AI pushers revealing how they in fact do not understand how reading or research works, especially in fields that are not tech, or CS.
But they also appear to have a great deal of contempt for those fields, and many of us in those fields.
Thats aside from their charm.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
