ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

This story was written by a guy whose extensive journalistic credentials for analyzing bullshit "polls" consists of working at The Wine Guy in Long Island for a year before getting into posting on social media and getting hired at the Post. Right wing media is just 100% failing up for scumbags.

"Cocaine is a hell of a drug"

Can they carry out an extra-judicial killing of an American citizen in the U.S. as long as they claim they are affiliated with a so-called narco-terrorist drug organization? Does affiliation mean you’ve declared war on America and can be killed as an enemy combatant?

19th century ailments, 21st century medical bills

not the best approach to public health

Florida has a fairly well documented problem with young people leaving the state after they grow up but I guess one way you can ameliorate them is kill them before they can leave on their own

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation.

If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?

“Meanwhile, the editorial board of the New York Times counsels “moderation”, urging Democratic candidates to move to the “center”. Tell me: where is the center between democracy and fascism, and why would anyone want to go there?”

Texas Sues Tylenol Makers, Claiming They Hid Autism Risks

If I could Being John Malkovich my way into Trump’s brain for an hour, I’d announce that shit sandwiches are America’s new national dish, just so we could all watch toadies like Ken Paxton loyally scarf down poop hoagies on the Fox and Friends couch.

Wow, Mamdani ends with FDR's words "I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master." DAMN, BOO!

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

I hope no conservatives see this, but just between us, the top things I love are food, water, and oxygen.

Man, if the right ever gave up those things, I would be SO owned.

Giving up what they like (good bourbon, Bud Light, healthcare) and replacing it with something far inferior (shitty bourbon, whatever replaces Bud Light, measles) is just what a MAGA has to go through to own the libs.

My mom was "increasingly mercurial" in the final months of her life, when the dementia became especially pronounced.

Every day, ICE employees wake up and give new people the motivation to go full "Liam Neeson from Taken."

They haven't done it to anyone who has the ability yet. But they keep rolling those dice.

And when it happens, no jury will convict that person.

so they'll let all the good parts of government stay shut down while getting right wing billionaires to pay for the agencies they want to use to enforce a fascist dictatorship GOT IT

I, for one, commend the President for building a ballroom large enough for us to eventually hold trials for many ICE agents at one time.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

This pic really makes the US collapse into full despotism feel real, doesn't it? Leader's dead-eyed, meritless teen son shoved into powerful role solely because Leader wills it: a marker of corrupt autocracy recognizable on every continent and in every century.

I am hereby putting a 200% tariff on all fauns dryads and talking beavers as well as turkish delight. Narnia has been very bad to us.
