LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Freakin' legendary. And watch Dhani Harrison smiling. 😍

In honor of Prince's birthday, I'm gonna share one of his most legendary and defining performances. It might be a little rote, a little obvious, but I believe it establishes him as the coolest motherfucker to ever breathe air on this planet, ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRC...
