I say "token", because AI usage is literally a slot machine. you pay a token per-slot-machine-lever-pull, and hope you like what you get or you roll again. They do this thousands of times, and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm serious like when i say AI is a huge scam this is partly why

From Sly Comics: Since August, 2026, Republicans have spent over one hundred million dollars on mid-term ads targeting gender transition issues. Senate races alone accounted for 77 million dollars.

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

My friends at Wittman Watch look just over the horizon, and illustrate the scenarios. #VA-01

After the midterms, Trump will still be President with the power of veto. 1️⃣ What can change if #VA01 elects @shannontaylorva.com? 2️⃣ What will Congress definitely have to deal with? 3️⃣ What have House Dems committed to doing? Today's newsletter lays it all out. #VoteTaylorVA01

94 percent!! He Does Not Care About You.

Money talks. Look at Wittman's campaign finances: 94% is from corporations. Look at the data center, tech, oil, and defense stocks he owns: do you REALLY think Wittman doesn't know how his votes in Congress will impact his wealth? The facts show he isn't working for you. #VoteTaylorVA01

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Reform, the party for the British people, putting British people first. I'm almost certain that Reform doners based overseas don't want anything in return for their millions, I mean, why would they? It's not as if there's any money to be made from divisive politics, Nigel Farage knows that.

independent.co.ukTrue scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealedExclusive: 80 per cent of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years

Someday we'll need to do a study about how much the GOP focused on trans attacks that haven't worked in the past bc they were paid to do so.

A U.S. appeals court rules against the Trump administration ahead of the midterms, rejecting its bid to block California from counting mail ballots from more than 20,000 registered voters the federal government alleges are likely noncitizens.

nbcnews.toAppeals court hands Trump administration setback in push to block California votes by alleged noncitizensThe ruling said the DOJ failed to give a lower court judge an adequate opportunity to consider the California case and therefore it would be premature for the appeals court to weigh in.

From the 8th-15th centuries, 600+ years, they dominated the study of math & astronomy. Arabic numerals. The decimal system. Algebra. The astrolabe. Trigonometry. Geometry. 60% of stars we can see with the naked eye have Arabic names. Neil DeGrasse Tyson praises them all the time. Rfk is an idiot.
