My doctor check-in now asks if I've been doing any travelling *within* the United States.

Bizarre Trump ramble to military seen as 'truly significant turning point' in presidency Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparked concerns with his unusual order summoning hundreds of military commanders to Virginia for an all-hands meeting โ€” but it the speech by President Donald Trump that...

"If I were a would-be dictator... something I would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then... illustrate why they should stop me." - Timothy Burke.

Will the word get out? Will enough people understand?

Next time a delivery guy nearly slams into me, instead of swearing, I'll say, "Thank you."

We have reached critical mass on YouTube "[Entity] hates/doesn't want you to know about this [product]" ads:

I'm not trusting AI to correct it, I'm just demonstrating how unreliable it is by showing it delivering a response that directly contradicts its previous one.

I like you, George, but you got bamboozled by Google AI, Below is *also* from Google AI. The misspelling of "threw" in the alleged, "actual" Cherryh quote was the tip.

This may well be from Cherryh, but the only citations I could find were from posts on Threads.

Let me be clear about this: Charlie Kirk was a loathsome piece of s--- who should have lived to a ripe, old age, long enough to see himself marginalized in a world that embraced love, empathy, and diversity.

"Being short-staffed..." Read between the lines.

This is one degree away from being an Onion parody. My jaw dropped when I saw this.

We have noticed a recent uptick in false social media posts regarding Chicago, including misleading videos, old videos reposted as new, and unfounded rumors.

Everything feels urgent, but we ask people to take an extra minute to double check information and avoid sowing confusion.

Picture yourself in a cage in a black hole,
With Lex's old girlfriends, robots in command.
Suddenly someone is hurting your body,
The dude with the kryptonite hands...
