AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.

You’re on to something here. Very interesting…

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

She’s just so good as her profession. And seems like an all around good human being too.

If I see as much as a single video edit I’m suing for $10 billion. Your move, CBS.

What he said: 💯 🎯

“I haven’t seen anything…but what I’ve seen…”. He’s the Speaker of the House, it’s his job to be aware of what is happening around our country. He is constantly feigning ignorance. He’s horrible at his job.

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

i want someone to ask mike johnson "should we be worried that you are always learning the news at your own press conferences, which is exactly when you are supposed to be answering questions about the news"

I agree. Can we simply move on from him. There’s time to vet other more qualified people to run.

I agree. Seems irresponsible.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

I totally agree!

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

While 🇺🇸 farms go under…

Survivors call into questions Kash Patel's testimony on the Hill.

All true. Except that we have a federal administration that is moving quickly through the classic fascistic and authoritarian playbook, with chilling parallels to evil regimes of history (and the present).

And as Americans we need to recognize that.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

This is very accurate

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
