Feeling embarrassed after being rejected European airspace, causing his meeting arranged by his minions Trump and Orban to collapse, Putin is now nuclear sabering again.

Putin ordered Russia to carry out large-scale strategic nuclear force drills involving its widely diminished โ€œnuclear triad.โ€

Big win for California.

A judge just blocked DHS from using racial profiling.

โœ… They canโ€™t stop people for speaking Spanish, having an accent, or standing outside a Home Depot

โœ… They need reasonable suspicionโ€”not skin color or where you work

โœ… Detainees get free, private access to lawyers

Trump gets distracted while talking about search and rescue efforts: "Oh, there's Dr. Phil. Look at Dr. Phil. You're looking good, Phil. This is a hell of a situation, huh?"

A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending birthright citizenship, a major win for the Constitution. The order, which wouldโ€™ve stripped citizenship from babies born in the U.S. to undocumented parents or visiting academics, was halted nationwide.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, Iโ€™ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things.

Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why.

If any of yโ€™all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

Sound familiar?

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
