Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "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 pup-peteering 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."

NEW: Rural health is in crisis. Congress created a $50B rescue package and gave states just weeks to compete for a slice of it.

$3.75B hinges on whether states pass a series of Trump-approved policies, including restrictions on SNAP.

‘Sort of blackmail’: Billions in rural health funding hinge on states passing Trump-backed policies
Democrats and health advocates described the strategy as highly unusual, and some fear it could be wielded to favor political allies.

Health insurance premiums will soon double for millions of Americans unless Congress acts. Democrats support a concrete solution to prevent price spikes, but Congressional Republicans refusal to act will cost all Americans.

It's hard to have weathered a life of hearing conspiracy theories you know can't be true, and are provably wrong, only to live long enough where a true conspiracy occurs, out in the open, for all to see, and you feel crazier and crazier as it worsens day by day by day.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court seems likely to expand president's power and back Trump's firing of independent-agency board members.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.

The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble.

Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other.

So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC.

@kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating all members of the Cat School — our team members’ four-legged friends!

Swipe through to meet the purr-fect RED kitties🐱.

A four-picture collage of cats in different poses. A fluffy cat warms its belly on a sunny windowsill, two neatly groomed cats lie on a red-and-white blanket, a short-haired orange cat lies on a couch, and a mottled black-and-white cat curls up on its side as it sleeps. A four-picture collage of cats in different poses. A black cat wears a knitted strawberry hat. A small grey kitten with a tiny, pointed face looks ahead. A black-and-white cat lies on the ground and gnaws on a fish toy. A black-and-white cat with a dignified appearance, its fur neatly groomed. A four-picture collage of cats in different poses. A tabby lies on a blue sofa, its bright black eyes looking wet and reflective. A striped orange cat with drooping whiskers looks ahead. Two small kittens lie together, with one seemingly shooting a glare at the other. A fluffy white cat rests its head on a book as it plays with a hand at its feet. A four-picture collage of cats in different poses. A hairless cat seemingly glares at something in the corner, its skin covered in folds. Two long-haired cats pose together, one with a sleepy expression on its face. A black cat rests on a desk, its fur so dark that few details can be made out. A cat rests on a rounded back, its face away from the camera and a tail swinging down.
