Gone are the days in which traditional masculinity for Democrats was toxic. Now, it seems more like a campaign credential. Democrats are desperate to prove they’ve learned their lesson after men propelled Republicans to victory in 2024.

"Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department."

Me, anytime I should be doing something: let's look at the phone 😃 Me, when I have to wait for twenty minutes: Ugh, guess I'll just look at my phone 🙄

It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:

Mr. Dan Zak@mrdanzak.com

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A funny thing to do would be to stop a guy on the street and tell him your friend looks exactly like him. Then make him wait a while while you search your phone and then come up with a blurry photo of someone who looks nothing alike

Trucker at the bar last night told me his gas costs have gone up bc of the war. Tariffs have depressed freight loads. Worse, AI trucking may replace his job. I told him "Trump has a poll on whether we should rename AI to Superior Intelligence." He said "Sir, thank you Trump Sir" and burst out crying
