I for one welcome our new AI overlords
It's really an interesting sociological lens to apply though - LLM's tend to blow smoke up your ass and empower you to feel like an expert even if you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. That definitely is going to resonate with a political party and movement that has made its biggest gains on rejecting experts and proudly proclaiming "I DID MY OWN RESEARCH!!!"

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Don't forget the explicit goal to be securing their voter records, so that way once the supreme court overturns birthright citizenship they can rewrite election results by picking and choosing which votes actually count

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
It's darkly funny, the Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 - Fascism! published in March 1945 on the road to Berlin even dead nuts lays it out to a tee Hitler and his associates adopted the name of National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi) and announced objectives that attracted many German people. The official title of the Nazi party was deliberately worded for its propaganda value, appealing to "nationalists," "socialists," "workers," and all others who might be favorably influenced by these labels. At the very time that the fascists proclaimed that their party was the party of the "average citizen," they were in the pay of certain big industrialists and financiers who wanted to run the people with an iron hand. The whole thing is worth a read, it is some strong anti fascist stuff that also worryingly describes much of what we are observing now with striking parallels

Markets still falling like whoa
I'm pretty sure we're past the tipping point - gold has passed USD as the main global reserve, and I don't see that changing. We are a net-import economy and a weak dollar is gonna be bad thing for us, and all signs point to USD's becoming just another forex. It's a great time to diversify into some European stocks and ETF's - I picked up a thousand shares of VEU to diversify a little bit and lock in some gains, and it's had a 33% return over the last year. I'd bet Europe and their trading symbols are gonna be getting more trade love than the US resulting in more value going there than here. At least, assuming that shit doesn't get wild

Trump’s America
They're thoroughly exercising their lessons from the Nixon presidency: never NEVER lose control of the story.

Welp. One step forward, two steps backwards. It appears the regime plans to double down. https://www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/article/minneapolis-immigration-hegseth-base-21315889.php In what could be a sign of President Donald Trump’s Minnesota immigration siege digging in, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved a request Monday by the Department of Homeland Security to further support its efforts in the Twin Cities. In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for space at Fort Snelling, a decommissioned military base in an unincorporated area next to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft. Fort Snelling is already the site of a U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement field office and a DHS immigration enforcement and detention processing center. CBP will use land on a U.S. Army Reserve base there. “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests support from the Department of War (DoW) to provide existing infrastructure to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of DHS, specifically an area for parking approximately 300-500 vehicles and 10 storage trailers, a ready room space for approximal 500-800 CBP personnel, a space to house, maintain and operate five CBP Air Assets, access to a magazine to store munitions, and other necessary facilities to support operations in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metropolitan area,” the email said, using the Trump administration’s name for the Department of Defense.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
It's about sending a message on the biggest stage possible that if you're not white, you're not welcome. Because we all fucking KNOW ICE/CBP ain't stopping anyone who's fair skinned

Vice President of the USA doubling down on it actually being about voter records, and not illegal immigration. Minnesota is >95% citizens by residency. It's all bullshit by the regime.

Re-season Cast Iron Pans
Honestly I have a set of cheapo ceramic coated pans from costco that are great workhorses for eggs and ezpz skillet cooking. Those things are like magic and I can even run em through my dishwasher if I feel like being lazy. Carbon steel pans are great and incredibly durable, there's a reason that most professional kitchens use them

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
No no, I'm saying that today's laws are the upper bound of critical thinking for AI-generated legislation, given that genAI cannot produce anything that it hasn't already read/ingested

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
well, it's definitionally cannot be more than a mathematic average of every piece of input data it's been trained on. So it's probably going to make laws alot like the laws we already have. Only with less critical thinking
