Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Attempts to end mail-in voting are part of President Trump’s larger strategy to remove checks on presidential power by making it harder for voters to hold politicians like him accountable at the ballot box.

The Constitution is clear: The president has no power to change election laws.

The president does not have the power to unilaterally change voting laws, and any executive order regarding elections is likely to see immediate legal challenges.

In 2019 RFK Jr went to Samoa and spread misinformation about measles vaccines that led to a deadly outbreak that killed 80+ people.

He should have been charged, but instead was appointed to lead America’s top health agency and control the largest public budget for medical research in the world.

Claiming something is about “national security" is not a blanket excuse to violate our civil liberties.

It’s fascism.

People being disappeared by unidentifiable members of state security forces (presumably but who fucking knows).

Being abused & denied due process.

On Trump’s order, dozens arrested daily in D.C. The details are hidden.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to tout the progress of the operation — progress that, without publicly available arrest data, is difficult to measure.
