"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

This kind of shit is actively misinforming the public. Trump is already doing all this shit whether countries go along with him or not. Pretending this legitimizes Carney's complicity is asinine.

"Oh no, he could mess with trade"

As if he isn't already doing that!

Hard to miss that this was entirely unmotivated by anything but the bored whims of a demented pedophile that our government is treating as a king

Before every tinpot dictator the US installs you will find a popular leader nationalizing natural resources that were under the control of western powers.

Strong case that the U.S. military can be bought with a suitable payment directly to the U.S. President.

The aim here is to collapse a country of ninety million people into an ungovernable warlord hellscape. People are right to doubt the good intentions of the openly gleeful supremacist fascists prosecuting this war.

almost three times as many children as the worst school shooting in US history, significantly more than the worst mass shooting of any kind in US history. Trump is exactly as directly culpable as any of the perpetrators of those murders.

Surprised to see that Trump, who is usually so deliberate and thoughtful, has decided to create a world where kidnapping or killing world leaders is a normalized method of handling threats.

People constantly defending Carney’s kneeling before Trump, what do you think would happen if he didn’t? Tariffs? Already happening. An invasion? Please wake up to reality and stop playing Risk fanfic.

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

Aggression is the ultimate crime from which all the smaller atrocities flow. What is happening here is that the world indulged America’s insane, relentless violence and will to dominate, and so we have had decades of them getting worse, more murderous and flagrant.

Hilary Knight wants focus on the US women's Olympic success, not Trump's 'distasteful joke' Hilary Knight says the U.S. women’s hockey team is moving past what she called a “distasteful joke” by President Donald Trump.

Hilary Knight doesn’t want to let what she called a “distasteful joke” by President Donald Trump about the gold-medal winning U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team get in the way of a historic performance by American women across all sports at the Milan Cortina Games.

I feel like casual fans being surprised to learn the men’s hockey team are all Trump guys is one big difference between the US & Canada. Most of my normal friends aren’t hockey fans, but it’s just taken for granted that hockey players are probably bad guys. We all went to school with hockey players.

"So what's the difference?"

"Oh, about $30 USD."
