Teddy Roosevelt style conservative mixed with Thomas Jefferson style liberal.

@cleforlife2369 @JacobsFieldRBW 20 ABs in March, 17 ABs in May...those aren't qualifying months. I picked 706 for a reason. The months he's been over he's been well above

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@cleforlife2369 @JacobsFieldRBW Where are you coming up with 11 and 25? Ive got 5 and 18. July 2023, April and June 2024, April and May of 2025.

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@cleforlife2369 @JacobsFieldRBW Since the start of the 2023 season how many full months has he posted above a .706 OPS? How many months has he been below? He's a nice guy with a great glove.

@cleforlife2369 @JacobsFieldRBW Check the monthly splits. He had a hot streak early in 2024 and was on fire for the first 6 weeks of 2025. He is who he is.

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@tonyrings13 @JacobsFieldRBW Look at his monthly splits over the past 3 seasons. This is who he is.

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@FintwitPeaked @JacobsFieldRBW He's Straw 2.0

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@ozymandias606 @JacobsFieldRBW Go back a year. His fluke start to last season blinded a lot of people. Look at the monthly split charts. The past few seasons he goes nuclear at the start of the year and his BA and OBP will plummet from there. This year there was no hot streak to begin with.

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@jrockcle @JacobsFieldRBW What long stretch did he hit 400? Hes been a below average bat since July 2024 outside of a lucky hot streak to start last season. They dumped Straw quicker and he had more consistent production.

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke.

Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics.

And it told patients to see a specialist.

The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it?

She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility.

Then she waited.

She did not have to wait long.

By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness.

One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist.

Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it.

They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation.

Then it got worse.

Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources.

A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record.

It was only retracted after the hoax became public.

Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates.

Here is the scale of what this means.

More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions.

Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026.

An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information.

Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day.

Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything.

The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot?

The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level.

It was designed to be caught.

It was not caught.

The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule.

40 million people. Every day.

And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong.

@amleadsalliance He hasn't protected us from anything. He sold us out to foreign investors.

@BraddrofliT @deaflibertarian Im not sure you grasp what some of mean by "leave me alone". At this point I don't care about your "functioning society".

[Among the Wildflowers @deaflibertarian]

I’m not a Democrat.

I’m not a Republican.

I’m not even a real Libertarian.

I just want to be left alone. I want my constitutional rights left alone. I don’t want to pay taxes that go to waste. I want the means to defend my family and myself. I want to live in a country with protected borders and one who honors their vets, not abandon them. I want to drink raw milk, collect rainwater, grow my own food, hunt/fish, medicine that actually heal and isn’t pushed for profit, have meat that aren’t tarnished by chemicals, and be able to afford basic necessities like food, gasoline, and water. I want to see the US flag displayed everywhere because that flag stands for freedom.

I want peace, a good job, and good memories with my loved ones.

Principles over party.

@ten_tier @ejmaroun He was ice cold the second half of 2024, went nuclear for 6 weeks to start 2025 and has been ice cold since. At what point do we accept that this is who he is?

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@caesiem @JeffMarshalek @KrisztinaMaria Yes

[Rattlesnake99 @RattleSnake99A]

@chiodoian5 @MattFontana83 Might want to look at his splits for the past few years. He starts hot and then gets colder as the season goes on.

[Chris Masterjohn @ChrisMasterjohn]

If you live in Kentucky, vote for this guy.

If you don’t, donate to his campaign.

Massie is the only good person in the House.

Contrary to the view that he’s an obstructionist who gets nothing done, he successfully campaigned against the BBB getting a 10-year override on the ability of states to regulate AI, which directly protects your ability to locally keep them out of your own back yard or prevent them from starving you of electricity.

Massie was instrumental in getting the Epstein files released. And while most of them are still illegally hidden, the fact that he got this done with a LAW means that there can be indefinite future prosecution of people who are hiding them now and ability to force their release.

Massie isn’t just a guy who sits around and says no to everything because he’s a libertarian purist. He is the only voice we have left in the House to make principled stands in favor of the liberty of the common man.

The Epstein billionaires are trying to flush out their last principled critic.

Don’t let them.
