He should, maybe, not advertise that “fact” although I do believe it. It’s apparent years of toilet coke snorting leads to brain worms, leather skin and conspiracy theories

I don’t know how to feel about Rupert Murdoch reporting this. I 100% believe it and I know the news at WSJ is not the editorials but I have a hard time giving any credit to anything that democracy ruining motherfucker has his fingers in (yuck). May he not RIP when his (hopefully soon) time arrives

Seriously sir, they can kiss my white ass too. What they’ve done is unforgivable and an embarrassment to whites like me who get it. Some of us are okay, I’m sorry for the others.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.
