Q: Do you think you will win a Nobel Prize?

TRUMP: I settled seven wars. But perhaps they'll find a reason not to give it to me

How big a conspiracy theory is it that Trump’s staff is feeding him AI “news” to get him to sign off on whatever they want?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

This is actually a brilliant way to protest this occupation. They WANT it to look like they’re fighting a war to justify ICE and the National Guard. Having a dance party of inflatable animal costumes totally makes it impossible for them to propagandize

Courtney Vaughn @courtneyvaughn.bsky.social · 3d

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

@xplainthexmen.bsky.social I know Jay was doing recaps a million years ago, but is there any chance of an episode dedicated to X-Men: Evolution? Or a listener questions section at least? Would love to hear your thoughts on it

In the beginning, Trump disappearances were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. In four days, we could be seeing a Trump disappearance every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double Trump disappearance within seven days.
