This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurateโ€”in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Summary of what happened at Temu ACIP this morning:

As expected, they overturned the 30+ year recommendation for the birth dose of HepB vaccine, which has reduced the incidence of pediatric HepB by 99%.

They provided no credible evidence to support this decision.

HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered.

The Trump haters can try, but they cannot erase the accomplishments of transgender Americans.

When one plus one does not equal two.

Add C19 to flu or any other infectious disease.

C19 weakens the host immune system.

If the hosts immune system is suppressed enoughโ€ฆ illness can be more often, more severe AND

*permit more mutations to occur*.

Cue explosion.

This is a terrible outrage, a horrifying response to her dedicated service. She remains a heroic first, despite fascist trans phobic actions like these. We have so much to restore. I am disgusted and sick by the actions of this illegitimate government.

No vaccines, ending birthright citizenship -- Trump's war on newborns takes the GOP's traditional "starve the little beggars!" hostility to children to new diabolical depths.

Just enough white people are willing to pay with their kids' lives for the latest installment of Republican white supremacy.
