If you use a chatbot or any other kind of "AI" for fact-checking or finding information, this is the standard of accuracy you're getting.




A perfect symbol of how Christianity defiles and destroys Western culture.








Read this one.  It's important.  And it's especially true in authoritarian states where there is no free press to work around the system and call attention to facts the rulers don't like.  It's probably part of why, for example, Putin didn't realize how rotted-out and decrepit the Russian military was before he invaded Ukraine.













I keep seeing stories like this about Trump bestowing access or favors in exchange for money -- and then there's this.  The issue deserves more attention because bribery is one of the very few crimes that is specifically mentioned in the Constitution as being an impeachable offense.  An actual impeachment couldn't succeed now -- it takes 67 senators (meaning 20 Republicans) for removal -- but Republicans could be challenged over why they refuse to do it for a crime for which the Constitution explicitly gives impeachment as a remedy.

Thank you! The Shel Silverstein was a great start.

So many images - so much to think about.

Why isn't maga pushing for democratic socialism? Isn't that the old time greatness they are after?

Underface- I can relate with that.
I would check that box to opt out of AI. Unless I specifically go looking for an AI picture or something, I shouldn't have to see it everywhere.

Rade: I think we all have that second face.

Lady M: They've been trained to think of the word "socialism" as just a label for everything they don't like, although "Marxist" is more commonly used that way. Tell people about individual socialist policies without using the word, and most people support them, but the word is a bogeyman to the right.

Mary: Unfortunately companies are getting more and more desperate to push "AI" on people, not to make it easy to opt out. They need to justify the hundreds of billions they've invested in it with, so far, no return.

Wow! There is so much corruption and hypocrisy these days. It might not take much time to track down a spot-on meme that decries the state of things, but it certainly takes a lot of work to post them all. Thanks for this lamentable collection.

As long as we can talk about these issues and call attention to them, there's hope of eventually doing something about them.
