In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It's staggering how often AI still lies.
Me: How do I do something in this software?
AI: Here's how you do the thing.
Me: The options you're describing don't exist.
AI: I can understand how it might be confusing because yes, those options don't exist. I was generalizing.
WHAT A GREAT INVESTMENT

It's just hyper-Wild West out there.
10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop.

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.
