Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Aside from how he's wrong right now on the history, process, strategy, and merits, this is Jeffries heavily signaling that even when they're in the majority, he'll oppose any impeachment that doesn't first get slow-walked in needless committee dithering for as long as he can delay it there.

Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what Repro Uncensored call one of the โ€œbiggest waves of censorshipโ€ on its platforms in years.

Iโ€™ve said this before, but I am absolutely shocked that Shri Thanedar of all people is stepping up to do the necessary work, directly and meaningfully confronting the criminal regime. Good for him.

U.S. citizen offered to show I.D. but was arrested by immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

This is Trump's America -- where an American walking down the street doing nothing wrong can be chased, assaulted, and detained by armed thugs who refuse to even look at his proof of citizenship.

Trump has repeatedly said Somali Americans are "garbage," so now DHS is treating them that way.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia freed from federal immigration detention, his attorney's office says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from an immigration detention center in Pennsylvania following an order from a federal judge issued Thursday, according to his attorneyโ€™s office.

Democratic leadership didnโ€™t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didnโ€™t want him even referred to as a โ€œMaryland man.โ€ Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

Webcomics are the funniest thing

As soon as the internet is we invented, people put comics on it. Itโ€™s like how every animal evolutionary line wants to become a crab eventually. Humans will put comics anywhere they can.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
