A new statement from Epstein survivors:
"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

I don't need to know the kind of person Alex Pretti was to know that it was wrong to execute him.
I want to know the kind of person he was because it is good to honor martyrs.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

The thing that jumps out to me here is that the article says the doctor’s *colleague* went looking for the fake studies.
It suggests the doctor who used ChatGPT didn’t check for himself and uncritically assumed they were real.
