A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

That’s awesome!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Not sure about the cat box, but yes to cheese smelling copies of When the Moon Hits Your Eye.

If anyone knows Duke Torres the pup, let me know. The other neighborhood guy is housing till Monday, and then it’s off to a no-kill shelter.

Ugg.

Sweet dog, but no one in the neighborhood knows him. There are a few Torres’s in the neighborhood according to the mailman, but no luck finding them.

Yesterday, me and another neighborhood friend found this dog on the streets of Avondale, Chicago, loose.

Its collar just said “Duke Torres”, no other info.

No chip- it’s on the vet pages and the relevant Facebook groups.

Be kind to yourself too.
