people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it

but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

It’s very weird to say “laboratory studies” were done on a single patient, and usually you do not want a medical practitioner to say any labs are “exceptional”, results that are exceptions are typically a problem.

Just sayin.

From write up by POTUS doctor:

Comprehensive laboratory studies performed in conjunction with the visit were exceptional, including stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.
In preparation for upcoming international travel, President Trump also received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19

Naw, he’s doing right by us by just living his life and not being a dick to others about their personal beliefs. The only difference between you and an extreme religious zealot is the extreme religious zealot at least thinks they’ll be rewarded for being a dick to others about their personal beliefs

What’s really confusing to me is … where does he think Fajitas come from, if not the West?

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

Look George, they imposed export controls on products they don’t make, obviously he had to respond! (I know what they did with rare earths and some other things is a legitimate issue, but I just found that part of his post too hilarious).

Me after getting arrested for trying to hire a hitman: “oh, so now talking is a crime?”

SCOTUS: “no sir it is not, you are free to go.”

Yeah, I’ve always had the same view of the anti-SLAPP laws I’ve seen, they’re procedural, and so shouldn’t apply in federal court under Erie. Seems clear, my strong desire for a federal anti-SLAPP not withstanding.

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 1d

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

I don’t even like country and I think Johnny Cash is cool. He also played one of my favorite Simpsons characters.

The court took judicial notice of the fact that Drake got murdered by Kendrick Lamar, which I feel like is appropriate punishment for filing this SLAPP suit.

Of course, she could’ve rented it out for the whole time she owned it in 2020, could’ve even had that intent from the start, and still been fine under FNMA rules, as long as she planned to occupy it, and at some point did occupy it, for at least some part of the first 7 months of 2021.
