Chatbots work a lot like a search engine, except they generate plain English answers rather than a list of blue links. This can be a quicker, easier and more intuitive way of answering questions, though chatbots often get things wrong and even make stuff up.

CBS News staffers are β€˜literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: β€˜People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

NEW from me:

Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.

when it hits the fan youre going to hear people saying β€œthere was no way to see this coming” and its important to remember those people will be lying to you

i’ve seen the β€œrunning on democracy didn’t work in 2024” line so many times the last 10 months and it is so emblematic of everything wrong with the dem party. abandoning something that fundamental because it didn’t work *one* time in one the weirdest elections this century

β€œdonald trump took advantage of reporting standards and just lied to our faces and then threatened lawsuits if we said hes lying” isnt really a legitimate excuse but i think you owe it to yourself and readers to at least lay it out

not that it will happen but at the very least any reporter who wrote about trump β€œdistancing” from project 2025 owes their readers an explanation for why they published obvious lies

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

β€œThey had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

We looked back on the "backlash" against American Eagle ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and her "great jeans." Right-wing media declared that liberals were outraged and thought the ads were racist -- even the White House joined in.

If you thought that story reeked, you'll want to see what we found.

Republicans’ shutdown strategy: All β€˜illegals,’ all the time It’s a plain attempt to fight on friendly turf for the president’s party β€” where the details are arcane enough to leave Democrats with little response but protest.

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day Kavanaugh said that immigration agents β€œpromptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Kavanaugh's explanation of why racial profiling is Actually OK was obviously a crock of shit the day it was written but also, in light of the new lawsuit by a US citizen arrested by ICE twice in 2 weeks, and the horrible Chicago raids,

the shitpot is aging poorly
