How the hell did the AP write an entire article about GOP efforts to throw out lawful votes without noting: (1) The GOP is trying to throw out lawful votes; and (2) they are doing it because it will disproportionately harm Democrats?
This is about GOP stealing elections.

If there is a shared mission at this year’s G7 summit in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, it's a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions.
The Group of Seven summit is opening in Canada with a focus on trade, wars -- and not riling Trump
When U.S. President Donald Trump last came to Canada for a Group of Seven summit, the enduring image was of him seated with his arms folded defiantly as then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel stared daggers at him.

Arguing against ChatGPT/AI/LLMs on the basis of claims that they're dumb, inaccurate, uncreative, soulless, etc. seems to me to miss the point. The real issue is that they systematically turn their human users into dumb, inaccurate, uncreative and soulless things.
The humanities-denigrating, STEM-affirming, and neoliberal-university-promoted idea that the reason to pursue education is to enhance one's career potential rather than to learn to think and create for oneself is a big part of why ChatGPT has such appeal.

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people
Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."
Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.
Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."
