I'm not worried: Once ICE rounds up all the illegals, they'll stop.

GPT-5: True — the shortest accurate summary would just be:
> lol
Me: but then you didn't summarize it
GPT-5: Touché.
Then the true summary is:
> (No summary possible — content already minimal.)

This is an actual dialogue I just had with GPT-5. That it recognized that I DESTROYED IT WITH LOGIC is pretty impressive.

Me: please summarize this email: lol
GPT-5: The sender laughed out loud — likely expressing amusement or lightheartedness.
Me: that is more words than the email

Most people don’t know that food is actually fuel for their body and that we’re programmed by evolution to want to eat.

Democrats should run on one promise: release the Epstein files. They’d crush.

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

Washington Post asked a thousand Americans who is responsible for shut down — way more blamed Trump and his congressional majorities than blamed Dems.

Hot take: Shutdown procedure is too complicated to understand, so people fall back on priors—Republicans hate government, Democrats like it.

Trump: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut ... I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”
