Maduro’s capture is a blow to China. But on Chinese social media it’s being hailed as a blueprint for Taiwan | CNN

Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger.
All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.

It’s so interesting to see how years of algorithmically boosted CSAM on X still hasn’t interested the protect-the-kids crowd — I don’t know if it’s denial or ignorance or malice or what but it’s striking, considering our cultural politics.
"The proposed legislation would require parental approval to override the limits on strangers interacting with minors. It would also impose new restrictions on minors connecting with A.I. chatbots after tragedies like the suicide of a Florida teenager who fell in love with a chatbot."

among other things, you can't just *give* the Nobel prize to someone else. that's not how it works
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.
