Claude & ChatGPT are debating each other now!.
Honestly, this headline !
"Claude says Anthropic's IPO is a buy. ChatGPT disagrees"
😂
Link to read if there's not enough WTF in your day already.
Holy crap, it just occurred to me:
Vucic losing in Serbia may not only end the deals Jr & Eric (& Lewandowski)* made in Serbia, it may _expose_ them.
*I’m not sure but I think Javanka got in on those deals.
I’d say Trump isn’t as good at influencing foreign elections as Putin, but I dunno, the Serbia results are a huge defeat for Putin.
He’s lost both Orban & Vucic in a year.
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.
The Dark Triad:
Trump, Musk, Putin

If the “Antichrist’s arrival is a necessary precursor to the 2d Coming of Christ,” then “[s]hould we even be looking to delay the end of the world? Maybe we shld just accelerate, put the pedal to the floor &… get it all over with…” 1/
Germany's far Right AFD
AFD is notorious for its Populism and a hard-line approach to immigration. Opposes Germany’s support for Ukraine & believes Germany should renew its ties with Russia. German security fears they may pass on sensitive information to RU & are accused of antisemitism, racism.
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
The AfD’s election win reflects growing support for far-right politics in Germany.
Axel Reitz, a former German neo-Nazi, explains how the far-right attracts new followers — and how to counter its influence.
Then there's the far left Marxist–Leninist Party of Germany, founded 1982 by the Communist Workers Union of Germany
"Adheres to Marxism–Leninism, Maoism, and Stalinism, advocating for the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of *a classless communist society via the proletariat."
Now THIS is a powerhouse duo! 🔥💙
Pete Buttigieg joined Jon Ossoff in Georgia TODAY, and I absolutely LOVE these two!

In a searing critique, former President Barack Obama lambasted President Donald Trump for what he characterized as a lavish and ostentatious White House, drawing a stark comparison to the extravagant lifestyle of Saddam Hussein....
This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Q: Do you blame Trump for the economy?

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

The energy beam causes a burning sensation when it comes into contact with the human skin — which Pentagon officials have previously compared to feeling a blast of heat when opening a hot oven. Military officials have said the resulting “tingling effect” lasts between 10 and 15 minutes..
