When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

How DOGE decided to cancel Nat'l Endowment for the Humanities grants,

"The prompt was simple: 'Does the following relate at all to D.E.I.? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ The results were sweeping, and sometimes bizarre."

Basically for Trumpy's Trumpamagalon regime, the humanities are only for & about white people, white men. All the better to take all that money for Trump's own use of what HE wants. ChatGPT just 'childishly simplified the cuts'. How much did American taxpayers pay DOGE to rob them of the humanities?

Well, no shiit. It was DELIBERATE, WILLFUL 'mistake' and we all knew it. And not just Noem, but several other ridiculous confirmations of highly unqualified and EASILY disqualified problematic nitwit cronies.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

People around the world have the right to choose not to be hospitable to those responsible for this state of constant destructive garbage from Trumpamagalon and its supporters

If you voted for Trump, voted for independents, or didn't vote at all, you helped create this mess.

The social rules of even very decent people, cultures, & whole nations SHOULD have changed way back on election day 2024, if not before. Immigration officials SHOULD be cautiously scrutinizing American 'guests' even before granting them visas or entry to their countries! Protection tops privacy.

By all means, please vote! But 2 big caveats:

1) Voting is NOT going to end this entrenched authoritarian, fascist rule. It's gone too far. Strong action, even various sacrifices are required to rout out this societal infection.

2) Please don't waste votes on independents; they won't get elected.

It worked for the new President of Poland, who was elected to block the Tusk coalition government trying to clean up the mess after 8 years of democratic backsliding, sharp right shift PiS party rule.

Votes for Independents & the silent, lazy minority that refused to vote are partly how we got here

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

People often confuse empathy with sympathy. Even psychopaths use empathy to target victims.

However, I agree that empathy provides a path for compassion and compassion motivates one to look for ways to empathize, especially with those who seem different from you or out of your realm of concerns.

White House Blocks Terror Warning To Local Law Enforcement | The Ashland Chronicle-Oregon While the president was on Truth Social Saturday morning threatening Iran with annihilation, his White House was quietly doing something that should alarm

People telling the truth & realities of Trump & the destructive, criminal Trumpamagalon fascist regime demonstrate the numbers & breadth of resistance, but none of that, nor voting is going to end this entrenched authoritarian, fascist rule & societal infection. Strong action & sacrifice required.

Anthropic’s Ethical Stand Could Be Paying Off The AI company gave up a $200 million contract—and might be getting something more valuable in return.

'Everyone has their price', used to be that guy in the movies who 'made them an offer they couldn't refuse' without dying or horrifically ruining their life.

Most people & businesses USED to have lots of lines they wouldn't cross, deal-breakers - until Trumpism.

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’ Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs.

It's not just ignorance or a lack or knowlege. It's anti-knowlegde.

Insider Trading Is Going to Get People Killed War markets are a national-security threat.

Before Trumpism, I had never even heard of or thought of political betting. I was shocked that there was such a BIG money game going on surrounding politics & anything else BIG money could bet on....and even sway or control.
