PwC just got caught trying to pass AI slop as authentic research

This is a crazy thumbnail choice to show a bike instead of the car they are looking for.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify a driver who was seen driving on a sidewalk along U.S. 36 near Boulder on Sunday. A video shows a black car driving on the bike path toward Boulder. Officials estimate the car was traveling at speeds of up to 50 mph.

A UK study found that telling potential SUV buyers that those vehicles directly result in higher fatalities for pedestrians, cyclists and children had zero effect on their decision to buy them. What does work? Financial penalties: Increased fees, taxes, parking. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

There's a wealthy village adjacent to my small city and we go there often for ice cream. Their streets are full of bikes, ebikes, scooters, golf carts, kids, and slow driving motorists. I attribute it completely to the street design and it pisses me off that we reserve it for the wealthy.

I've been slowly leaking classic games into my kid's Steam account without her knowing. She finds them in the library periodically. Today, she asked some magical words: "Dad, what's Portal?" *evil cackle*

no they don't

I still think it is only a matter of time before he puts on a uniform in real life - and gives himself a chestful of bullshit medals too. He'll justify it coz he is the CiC, so he 'deserves' to wear a uniform; and will simply lie to say he has 'earned' the medals. Bet.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

WATCH: “Todd Blanche is committing a fraud on Congress. This document is a sham.” @SenBlumenthal warns the insurrectionist slush fund is NOT dead, and @SenThomTillis & @JohnCornyn are falling for another Trump/Blanche lie.

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

Investigate the banks. Arrest the bankers. They knew. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"Today's vote to advance Todd Blanche is a slap in the face to the rule of law ... the senators with concerns about the slush fund & the Epstein files asked for a legally binding commitment & settled for a pinky promise." Our full @democracydefendersaction.org statement👇 -TN

Judiciary Committee Vote Advancing Blanche’s Nomination Is Deeply Troubling for Rule of Law | Democracy Defenders Action

Following is a statement from Amb. Norm Eisen (ret.), on the Judiciary Committee’s vote today advancing Todd Blanche’s nomination to attorney general.

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.

Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

If it fits, I sits… illegally and unsafely in the protected bikelane, because there’s clearly nowhere else for a VIP (car owner) to park on this block. 🙄

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Biked 1 mile to coffee. Then biked another mile to the pharmacy. Then biked 1 mile home. 95% on protected (separated) bike infra. More Americans deserve the freedom of a life like this (if they want it).

Sent a request to an AI company I work with in multiple modes - partner, customer, reseller, ++ ofc, their response was generated by AI. Went as I would expect. Missed my point entirely, gave me bad information, and advised an incorrect follow-up. Confidently! 🤷‍♂️ I'll try their competitor now.

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
