Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is because a statistical model of word frequency is not a useful tool for modeling the complex interactions of the human body
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

On the one hand, it seems like they fired almost everyone who can think critically, but on the other, that The Post would publish an “analysis” of an overtly political halftime show claiming it was apolitical demonstrates just how much things have changed. These people are rightfully afraid.
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

Because it has the story of the Finnish women's hockey team being careless and catching a norovirus, but the framing is that it's "extreme" to be careful.
