I think Time’s person of the year is stupid but it’s prob the only thing left of that historically legendary outlet that drives any news so whatever I guess it keeps people employed. But have we discussed this cover being a rip off of legit art and it’s as stupid a comparison as any AI result
Time cover featuring “person” of the year: the architects of AI. The cover image is a ripoff of a famous photo showing construction workers sitting on a girder high up in the NYC sky while on lunch building the Empire State Building

As effective and ridiculous as Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy
Trump Truth social post For years, Democrats ignored Violent and Vicious Crime of all shapes, sizes, colors, and types. Violent Criminals who should have been locked up were allowed to attack again. Democrats were also far too happy to let in the worst from the worst countries so they could rip off American Taxpayers. Democrats only think there is one crime - Not voting for them! Instead of protecting Americans and their Tax Dollars, Democrats chose instead to prosecute anyone they can find that wanted Safe and Secure Elections. Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest. Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the "crime" of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!

How the fuck can two mattresses cost $638,000
one Ferrari, along with $652,000 on watches and clothes. He also bought two mattresses for about $638,000 and spent another $295,000 on luxury bedding and linens. In addition, he used some of the money to pay off about $1.8 million in credit card bills, prosecutors said.

Tweet from Adam Johnson: Washington Post editorial board comes out against releasing the Epstein files, dismisses them as having no public interest (how they know this without seeing them first is a mystery) and praises the lone 'no' vote against their release from Clay Higgins

Apparently Trump is trying to invent the ACA subsidies that the big ugly bill took away and the literal reason for the shutdown
Trump “truth”: I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! 11/8/25, 8:04 AM

They told the court yesterday they’d pay out half the benefits (which isn’t sufficient) but I guess gramps wasn’t informed so kinda looks like they lied in court. Again. I’m sure that’s fine.
Trump on truth social: “SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly "handed" to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”

See the below decision tree to figure out why he’s doing this
8:59 Headline of press release: Trump Administration Tries to Block State Safeguards from Damaging Medical Debt on Credit Reports WASHINGTON - The Trump Administration's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued guidance this week claiming to prohibit states from removing medical debt from people's credit reports, claiming that the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) overrides or "preempts" state protections that prevent the high cost of being sick from ruining people's credit scores. Fifteen states ban medical debt from credit reports, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and

PSA boys okay with actual antisemitism & Nazi behavior (not having a Nazi tattoo removed & acting like getting it is nbd is Nazi behavior) but have a problem with the democratically elected Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor? (Also lol I don’t ask for perfection, just that Nazis need not apply)

They’re putting these in the subways and idgi tbh. Like there is 6’? 10’?between them. How does this stop ppl falling into the subway? We couldn’t afford the thing that other countries have that goes across the whole thing and has a door that lines up with the train doors. wtf does this do?
Something that’s being installed in the NYC subway station a metal grate ab 3’ high and maybe 4’ wide. They’re put about 6’ (10’?) apart. Not sure what it’s preventing

How does this make sense? How did they “discover” that a person DRIVING was armed? Even if every word is true, that’s not enough of a reason to SHOOT her. (I’m pretty sure they discovered she was armed after she was arrested, which I’m certain she was) www.wbez.org/immigration/...
U.S. Border Patrol shot a woman Saturday morning on Chicago's Southwest Side, marking the second shooting since President Donald Trump's administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents wer "rammed by 10 cars" and "boxed in." I’ve highlighted this last sentence in the paragraph: Agents then fired “defensive shots" when they discovered the woman "was armed with a semiautomatic weapon" while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.

Can’t a lot of this “left leaning bias” be mostly explained by the fact that the right just lies about shit all the time? I mean they say that FACTS (such as the Covid vaccine is extremely effective) are left leaning so any bias is prob due to the disinformation coming from the right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Researchers have found that most major chatbots, like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, have a left-leaning bias when measured in political tests, a quirk that researchers have struggled to explain. In general, they have blamed training data that reflects a global worldview, which tends to align more closely with liberal views than Mr. Trump's conservative populism. They have also noted that the manual training process that A.I. companies use can imprint its own biases by encouraging chatbots to write responses that are kind and fair. A.I. researchers have theorized that this pushes A.I. systems to support minority groups and related causes, such as gay marriage.
