That came across mean and Im sorry for that. It's early. No anger towards you, I promise! We were given the word hallucination by the Ai companies, and imo it's just wrong. *without an external stimulus* The prompt put in to the llm is the external stimulus, no? (This is an honest question)

It's okay guys it was all just a misunderstanding.

Text from the article in the quoted post below

In response Friday to an inquiry from NPR came this terse statement from the court's public
information office.
"Justice Alito was notified in advance by Justice Sotomayor's chambers that she would be reading a dissent from the bench.
It was a misunderstanding on
Justice Alito's part."

The dude got marketing material made with him in it. I understand this happens to other players, but all of this, and everyone finding out via email, is absolutely ridiculous.

"I didn't impact the national team, not even remotely close to the way Luna impacted the group last year in 2025 and Gold Cup he had," Mastroeni prefaced, "so it'd be really difficult for me to even empathize or understand what he's going through. Even, you know, the marketing and the advertising that has gone through with him [involved].

A retired marine took his dog to a dog park outside of Cleveland Ohio and got shot in the back as he was leaving because he said mean words about trump. @atrupar.com @maddow.bsky.social @erininthemorning.com @signalcleveland.bsky.social

Text from the article quote tweeted below:

Bokovitz did confirm the incident stemmed from an argument about Trump. He said investigators have not found evidence to indicate the shooting was a hate crime.
"We've never formally interviewed our victim, our guy that got shot. I'm not saying victim because we still don't know if he was the one who started it or not. I don't know.
He didn't deserve to get shot," Bokovitz said.

A military member gets exempt from a hunting training certificate and then gives a three year old a shotgun.

Text from the article quote posted below.

Text reads: The shooting happened on state forest land at Honey Creek Wildlife Area in Racine County.
According to Thok, a 34-year-old male mentor said he saw what appeared to be a turkey fan and movement in the woods. The mentor then knelt and helped the 3-year-old stand in front of him, aim, and pull the trigger.
Instead of hitting a turkey, the 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun blast struck a 40-year-old male turkey hunter and the hunter's 7-year-old child. Both victims suffered pellet wounds to the back, hand, and head. Both were admitted to the hospital, and their injuries did not appear life-threatening at the time of the report.

Hey @socialistdogmom.bsky.social do you know if 27 year old Sean Washington was on any of those stormfront forums? The fact that the prosecutor specifically said one man crime wave makes me cringe. THE DUDE WAS MAKING BOMBS.

Text from the article quote posted below.
Text reads:

Officers swept his home the following month, where prosecutors said they found bombs, items to make bombs and drugs.
Macedonia police also searched Washington's phone and found evidence of alleged sexual abuse.
According to prosecutors, Washington kept a video which showed him sexually assaulting a child in his care and another video showing him sexually assaulting a sleeping woman.
There was also a video which showed him committing bestiality against his own dog, prosecutors added.
"Sean Washington's one-man crime wave has finally come to an end. I want to thank the Macedonia Police Department for their thorough investigation and for uncovering these horrifying crimes that had been hiding in plain sight. Without their diligent work, these offenses may never have come to light or faced prosecution..."

An “independent outside monitor approved by the government” is not an independent, outside monitor. These are not serious people.

Text from the article quote tweeted below.
Text reads: “The United States cannot and will not tolerate these failures," the Justice Department wrote in the lawsuit. It asked the court to compel Harvard to comply with federal civil rights law and to help it "recover billions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies awarded to a discriminatory institution.'”

The lawsuit also asks a judge to require that Harvard call police to arrest protesters blocking parts of campus and to appoint an
"independent outside monitor," approved by the government, to ensure it complies with court orders.

There are no consequences fierce enough for these actions.

Text from the article in the quote post below.

Text reads:

(Via theguardian.com)

Unaccompanied minors who lack immigration documentation are at high risk for trafficking and other forms of harm, so they fall under the care of the office of refugee resettlement (ORR), which previously had facilities across the country capable of caring for children under the age of 18 who are pregnant.
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
"It's a choice to ensure zero abortions," said Jonathan White, a former top official working with children's programs in the ORR under the Obama and Trump administrations. When a pregnant child is moved to Texas, "as long as she is in Texas, she can't access an abortion - without a federal official needing to deny her an abortion", he said.
The move amplifies existing concerns about reproductive healthcare in immigration detention centers, including allegations over the lack of appropriate healthcare for pregnant people, separation of nursing parents and infants, and forced sterilization in immigration facilities.

The literal former Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice vs a man who’s never been a lawyer.

Text from the article linked below

The group Vouchers Hurt Ohio, which is the coalition of districts suing the state, fired back in a statement.
"This appears to be another attempt to intimidate and bully," said Eric Brown, the Vouchers Hurt Ohio Steering Committee chair and former Ohio Supreme Court chief justice. "The school districts have a longstanding constitutional right to pursue legal action on behalf of their students."
Cirino is not a lawyer, so he said he isn't sure if the bill is constitutional, but 'it shouldn't stop us from doing what we think is the right thing."
HB 671 has been assigned to the House Finance Committee, but hasn't been set for a hearing.

Not just that, the grandson of the uk’s most notorious facist works for Palantir BECAUSE HIS GRANDFATHER IS THE UK’S MOST NOTORIOUS FACIST. it’s literally how he got the job. He didn’t even talk in an interview with Karp, lover of facists.

But what was perhaps Karp's most notorious interview was with someone who got the job. Louis Mosley was an Oxford graduate who had hoped to pursue a political career in Britain. But his family history made that an impossibility: his grandfather was Oswald Mosley, the British fascist leader during World War II, and his grandmother was Diana Mitford, one of the famous Mitford sisters and who is best remembered for her close friendship with Hitler. A group of historians once named Oswald Mosley the worst Briton of the twentieth century, and while Louis had rejected his grandparents' views, his surname proved to be an insurmountable liability-Conservative Party insiders ultimately made clear that they would never be able to put him up for office because he was tainted by association.
Through a friend, he was introduced to Palantir, and after several rounds of interviews, he flew to Palo Alto to meet with Karp.

As soon as Mosley took a seat, karp began reciting a hery speech that Oswald Mosley gave in 1939 demanding that Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. ("Our generation shall not die like rats in Polish holes. They shall not die but shall live to see above their heads the English sky, to feel beneath their feet the English soil, and to enjoy the fair English countryside....") Karp didn't just repeat a few sentences; he went on for minutes, reproducing the speech from memory. Mosley sat in stunned silence. When Karp finished, he executed a few tai chi moves and walked out of the room without saying goodbye. A shaken Mosley figured that his family's dark past had torpedoed him again. But it hadn't: he was hired and ended up running Palantir's UK business. (A few years after the interview, Karp was in London, where he met with Mosley and a retired British military officer who was consulting for Palantir. Karp asked this person if he was aware of Mosley's back-ground. He said that he was but added, "Well, we all have skeletons in our closet." Karp looked at him with disgust. "A skeleton?" he said incredulously. "That's fucking Godzilla in the closet.")

You’d think that if someone had been abusing someone for over a decade, and the organization in charge never found out, that organization should probably cease to exist, as it has no intention of keeping anyone safe.

Text from the article quote posted below

In a statement to ChurchLeaders, Answers in Genesis said, "While the ministry does not generally comment on personnel matters, we can confirm that Michael Howard is no longer affiliated with Answers in Genesis.

THESE ARE NOT SERIOUS PEOPLE. I’ve been saying it for a minute now. Also, if you’re going to post sauced material, post a link to the sauce! www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

Text from the article

Psychologically, this group was marked by desensitization, shaped less by fear than by boredom. They were not especially anxious about their own futures. They worried more about what Al and autom ion might do to other people than to themselves. Politics is entertainment: a stage for mockery, transgression, and performance, not moral seriousness or policy discipline.

Text from the article

That helps explain their detachment. Their views on family, illegal immigration, and social order largely align with those of mainstream Republicans. But they are not demanding doctrinal or programmatic rigor. They want a politics that feels less uptight and more charismatic-one that can make them laugh as well as make them better off.
For some, that may not come from the Right. One participant named Michelle Obama as his ideal next president. Another-the same one who had praised Nick Fuentes—cited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as preferable to Ben Shapiro.
What matters most for them all is not ideological consistency but vibe: humor, transgression, and the sense of being led by someone who can command attention. That preference, more than any specific belief expressed in the room, may prove the most consequential feature of right-leaning Gen Z's political development.

On my morning scroll of the home page at work, this newsweek article popped up. Is this a self-own by Republicans or did newsweek just mess up 🤣 link in the next post!

Text from the article quote posted below:

What People Are Saying

California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, responded to Trump's post on X: "This is a sick man."
Conservative commentator Erick Erickson wrote on X: "This statement is wrong. Regardless of one's political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son. It's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period."
Representative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, wrote on X: "This statement is wrong. Regardless of one's political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son. It's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period."
