Inside a mass shooter’s harrowing history with ChatGPT

A year of chats reveals glaring red flags—and disturbing ChatGPT replies—from long before a rampage at Florida State University.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

There were two elections in the past twelve months that show what an electorate with a truly asleep Republican base looks like. Republicans likely won't have as low turnout in absolute numbers but if Democrats turn out big (looks like they will), we can replicate this nationally. Who's ready?

I decided to use my creative and persuasive writing skills to write this important message. Voting matters. We need to make sure the Republican Party loses big in 2026 and beyond as punishment for embracing far right ideology and the fear-driven cult of Trumpism.

This is a persuasive message to encourage people to turnout for Democrats to end the madness once and for all. I encourage you to retweet this and for a bonus, share it outside of BlueSky because if you are already voting, the only way to add votes is to try to make other people vote.

I remember the Pacific Northwest racking up outliers like this too during the 2021 heat dome. So what France is going through isn't some fluke. Awful for people there, especially the children, elderly, and anyone with health conditions.

Map of western US and Canada, with the locations experiencing higher-than-normal temperatures shown in colours where red is the biggest difference. Most of Oregon, Washington, BC, and Alberta are dark to medium red. 
On the right is a graph showing all the average daily temperatures from that region for 1950-2020 from June to August (months on the x-axis), as light grey dots. They form a cloud that's denser around the 15-25 deg C range. The average temperature graph for that region during June is shown in red. After plunging down to near the lower part of the range, it climbs rapidly after the first week of June, finishing by breaking through past 35 deg C beyond the previous 70 years of data.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

George Lopez says he no longer supports the Los Angeles Dodgers because of owner Mark Walter's investment firm's financial interests in GEO Group, a private prison company that operates ICE detention facilities under federal contracts.

In supporting Trump's voter suppression SAVE America bill, Rep. John McGuire tells Newsmax you can't even get medicine or enter the Obama Museum without a photo ID - neither of which is true. Trust us, pal. No one is trying to impersonate you. Do better, Virginia's 5th District.

I’m gonna borrow from Willie Shakes in the Merchant of Venice: All that glisters is not gold— Often have you heard that told. Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold. Gilded tombs do worms enfold.

The Trump regime has killed at least 221 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.
