I am their champion. I am their patron saint.

. . . corps of cowardly enablers in Congress would just mumble something about the benefit of the doubt. He told us who he was when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his numbers would just get better.

Yeah, that’s the problem. I keep telling people that other than maybe giving some clarity to the victims, the release of the unredacted Epstein files won’t matter either. There could be hours of video of him raping children and he’d just claim it’s a deep fake. His base would buy it and the . . .

Yeah, color me unimpressed. Now, or it doesn’t matter.

“Fewer” has become the next “and I.”

At some point, people learned that “less” is often used when people mean “fewer.” So they started defaulting to “fewer” in EVERY CASE.

Sometimes, folks, you mean “less.” And sometimes, it’s “and me.”

Unfortunately, the U.S. is headed in the other direction.

Hey, we lost, but I got my multiple runs and you got a less embarrassing Royals team that almost beat the Dodgers. And then we went out there today and crushed, despite Sam Long trying really hard to hand it back to them.

My hope for you are not high, but anything can happen. I’d settle for a crooked number.

My composition teacher would have failed that sentence. “Sought to restricted” is not a thing. It’s not just you.

Team Pedro.

Funny how this article goes from calling Pascal’s words an “attack” on JKR without ever characterizing her incessant unprovoked attacks on trans women the same way.

And then it somehow becomes a plug for the upcoming Harry Potter series.

The Guardian isn’t usually this shitty.

Oh, same. As a history prof, I have plenty of experience reading AI generated essays. They tend to be very polished and extremely generic. It’s so easy to spot them.

… experienced, but the background still had personality.

The two that were clearly Chatbot were so uninteresting, I read them several times and still can’t tell you anything about them.

AI has its uses. Many of them. Replacing the creative process is not one of them.

Legitimately sickening.

My group is starting a new D&D campaign. We all submitted character backgrounds.

To put it nicely, the difference between those written by humans (3) and those written by Chatbot (2) was stark.

Two of the original writers are fluid and interesting. One is far less …

But also way too expensive to be a bus and, unlike a bus, it can’t carry an 8’ bundle of lumber.

I am a Lithuanian American and a U.S. Army veteran. I thank President Nausada and envy the people of Lithuania for having a leader with dignity, intelligence, and compassion. RIP, soldiers.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website “People are scrambling” to see if their sensitive information has been accessed by Musk’s programmers, said one federal intelligence employee.

The wheels are coming off faster than we could have imagined. Anyone who thinks this is good is not worth speaking to. They’re cultists. They’re unfixable.

Americans called it the Vietnam War. Vietnamese called it the American War. Athenians called it the Peloponnesian War. British called it the Crimean War.

I’ve been avoiding posting anything political since November, because what’s the fucking point? But this renaming of the Gulf of Mexico is so inane.

Naming a geographical feature after your own country is as dumb as naming a war after the side you’re on. 1/2
