One of the great griefs of the day in the US is that Noem’s deranged, violent, racist ‘reality’ impinges now on everyone else’s.
Kristi Noem dismisses reporting about Hegseth murdering people at sea: "That entire story is based on anonymous sources. We see the press and that rag use anonymous sources all the time to print things that aren't true, that are lies, that are completely not based in reality."

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

Once upon a time, hateful kids went to school to learn how to twist logic and science for precisely this reason.

Now, they're just crying to TPU, and I for one am glad that hateful shits are no longer learning how to pretend with the trappings of logic.

I opted for a more affordable keepsake to remember this trip: the #Japan exclusive, #Ukiyo-e inspired #Seiko SKX GMT. It’s a perfect little showcase of Japanese craftsmanship with a hint of traditional art. With that, today’s watch-shopping tour comes to a close.

This clip is really bad. Absolutely hollow. But important to remember also that as this tech becomes "better" and more advanced, simply it being "bad" isn't going to cut it as a rhetorical argument. Slop like this must be opposed because it's fundamentally anti-human, regardless of "quality"
