@newsobserver This is from last weekend! Thanks for the news we can use. Maybe run it past a human before allowing the AI bots to send it out.

@davidfrum Yes. One thousand per cent!

@alaynatreene Does Trump meet these standards?

@Dug2AL @MacFarlaneNews OR Republicans haven't found it either, and they've looked.

@DavidAFrench And of course, if that MAGA philosophy had anything more to do with "originalism" than the most superficial, performative lip service, it would never raise the idea of "a new world" in the first place. They're shameless, though.

@jamiedupree Iran was also two weeks away from having a new national health plan!

@JonahDispatch @DavidAFrench @neoavatara Trump does the same, saying “as you know” to reporters about things that they don’t in fact know, aren’t true, and that they then very rarely ever challenge him on.

Tuesday night, protesters packed the City Council meeting in Surprise, Arizona, over a proposed ICE detention center. You need to hear what this man told the Council.

@atrupar The largest building in the world, a flower market in the Netherlands, is about 1/80 the footprint of a 4 x 4 mile plant. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what anybody is going to be building in the near future, let alone adding a power plant to power it.

@extramsg Highly recommend you read "Enshittification" by Cory Doctorow, which explains this kind of response/policy and so much else about Amazon, Facebook, Google, Uber, Microsoft, etc.

@PolitiFact Wait, you mean Trump just made up a number that had no basis whatsoever in reality? Is there a word for that?

@peterbakernyt @OurShallowState @washingtonpost How about if Jeff gave the Post to MacKenzie Scott? She would understand instantly the moral responsibility that Bezos is apparently incapable of perceiving.

@michaelshermer Apparently neither Grok nor you are accurate enough to understand that "to photoshop" and "to broadcast" are two different things. You, Michael, re-broadcast the altered image; you did not, to the best of my knowledge and belief, *alter* it. Does that help?
