I really do wonder if literally anyone in the Trump regime is aware that the entire French Revolution was kicked off when the masses didn't have enough to eat.

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

20.10.2025 19:26 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Mmmm, okay I can understand this. I just posted how I see AI as a useful calculator for my own ideas, but that's only because I know how to process my ideas without it. Until one develops core competency for critical thinking and goal-setting, outsourcing those skills is a detriment.
20.10.2025 16:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Speaking of energy-draining... I'm not forgiving the horrible impact it has on the environment, nor the frustration generative AI causes the artists that are having their work stolen, but I think, if used responsibly, AI does have potential directly proportional to the intention behind its use.
20.10.2025 14:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That alone saves me a cognitive truckload of resources I would've spent transcribing and planning, so now I can actually implement the ideas I had without worrying about the arduous, energy-draining task of sifting through them myself.
20.10.2025 14:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I have lots of gripes with AI, but I think there's potential for it to be similar to a calculator, but for ideas. Like, calculators don't take the place of accountants and AI won't take the place of humans, but having AI loosely summarize a 25-minute ramble into bullet points is insanely useful.

Not only is it allowed but there is precedent for a federal judge to swear reps in, especially if the reps can't make it to the formal ceremony. The Speaker does not have explicit control over the process.

Many are young. Many probably had other things to do but they still came out. I'd be shocked if there weren't at least 1200 people there.
