The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted.

An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

The Parting Glass

And of all the money that air I spent
I spent it in good company.
And of all the harm that air I've done
alas it was to none but me.

And for all I've done for want of wit
to memory now I can't recall.
So fill to me the parting glass.
Good night and joy be with you all.

And to all the comrades that air I had
who would be sorry for my going away.
And to all the sweethearts that air I've loved
who would bid me one more day to stay.
And as it falls upon my lot
that I should rise and you should not.
So fill to me the parting glass.
Good night and joy be with you all.

And if I had money enough to spare
and leisure time to sit a while.
There is a girl in this fair land
who surely has my heart beguiled.
With her long dark hair and ruby lips,
she surely has my heart enthralled.
So raise to me the parting glass.
Good night and joy be with you all.

So raise to me the parting glass.
Good night and joy be with you all.

To confirm:

Tim Walz passed a bill in MN banning services that use AI to generate nude images of minors.

Elon Musk, through xAI, is suing to block this bill.

When we call MAGA pedophile protectors, this is what we are talking about.

Republicans can’t talk about immigration enforcement. They can’t talk about the economy. They can’t talk about the war against Iran. They can’t talk about inflation. They can’t talk about gas prices. Because the American people rightly blame them for fucking it all up.

So last week they talked about the 2020 election. And this week they’re talking about Fauci. And next week they’ll talk about…

🚨🚨🚨
With the confirmation of Clayton, Trump has loyalists in place at the power agencies who will work to enable his election subversion schemes for 2026 and 2028. They're not incompetent, and they're putting loyalists in beneath them. The threat is far greater than in 2020.

Miller's ex-wife alleges he scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone. He denies all. @anniekarni @DraperRobert https://t.co/zCOb5azoWG

Democrats —for the love of GOD, if you don’t make a huge deal about this …this is a BFD political issue.
Trump is punishing our parents and grandparents while gets richer.

Remember this money from the sold oil was put in a Qatari bank account.

Trump now won’t even acknowledge it.

No one acknowledged whose name the account was in.

It’s not included in the Treasury or Fed budget balance sheets…

Paul Walczak took $10.9M out of his nursing home employees' paychecks: their Social Security, their Medicare, their taxes, and bought a $2 million yacht.

Sentenced to 18 months and $4.4M restitution.

His mother attended a $1M-a-plate Mar-a-Lago dinner.

Twelve days later: full pardon. He never spent a night in prison.

Some folks don’t believe that a “principled AI company” would destroy books after they suck out all the information for their models, even one-of-a-kind books and manuscripts.

Here it is admitted in open court.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Lemire's pulling the right sentence, but worth adding the part that makes it land. The Air Force rejected Trump's preferred paint scheme once already, in his first term, specifically because the darker colors trap heat and can mess with electronics in the plane's lower hull. He got his way this time anyway. Those same trade off decisions, on his personal sign off, are why the missing features in this thread exist at all.

Three months after the retrofit finished, the Secret Service pulled him off this exact plane in Turkey because of a credible Iranian threat, then flew him out on the old jet instead. The Pentagon also hid a chunk of the true cost, now past five billion, inside a classified nuclear modernization account so Congress couldn't see it.

This isn't a story about a plane that happens to be missing some features. It's a story about a president overruling his own engineers on a jet he then had to abandon mid trip.

Americans deserve to know how Taylor Farms impeded public health efforts to stop Cyclospora. How its Trump multi million dollar campaign contributions caused CDC staff cuts & weakened reporting. How halting spread & outbreaks has been delayed. https://t.co/XANwJ9Qq2o

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.

Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Where the hell is Congress?
