As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

A large number of far right actors who have been arrested, including leaders of these rallies, have convictions of domestic and/or sexual abuse, including of children. This is something that ought to be front and center whenever these people are talked about.

New reason to hate AI just dropped:

OTD in 2006 journalist & activist Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead. Whoever is responsible for having her killed is still at large. And turns 73 today.

My favorite new initialism: AI;DR I'll be using this a lot from here on out.

Thank you for exposing some blockworthy numpties.

If you ever think that you're a dork or not cool enough or anything, just remember you didn't have these made and aren't handing them out.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines.

Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

PPE Medpro applied to go into administration the day before it was ordered to repay £122m to the taxpayers.

Or have British outlets which are usually switched, but also have shutters in the live and neutral holes that open up when the longer ground pin is inserted. And have a cord that usually hangs below the plug so pulling the cord doesn't pull the plug out... This is a metaphor for something, right?
