I, a vaccinated person, caught Whooping Cough when I was 26. I have never been more sick.
This is a needless tragedy.

Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

I legit believe there will come a time a citizen of this circus will sue the mainstream media for what they have (and haven’t) done and they will win.

None of us asked for any of this crap. THEY chose to integrate it into every area of life. THEY put it in search results.
My FIL now asks his phone “chat GPT, show me a picture of a 57 Chevy” instead of looking it up. Then asks ten more times because it’s wrong.
This is on them. No bailouts.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.
