This is kind of a crazy picture - this doe has been adopted by the people of this Powderhorn Park alley, and you can't see it in this picture, but they put a splint on one of its legs which apparently was injured
Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.
We’ve now reached the point of “black site” hearings – secret, illegal hearings as part of Trump & Stephen Miller’s wretched crusade to detain & deport our immigrant neighbors. Quite literally: hidden tribunals that disappear people.

Twitter not laughing at your jokes, buy Twitter. HBO owns streaming rights to an unflattering exposé, buy a piece of HBO. Government regulations threaten your businesses, buy the government. Elon Musk seems determined to be a case study in the problem with unfettered wealth.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by ICE agents after working in the U.S. for 35 years. His sons, Ronaldo and Lorenzo Jr., testified before Congress and reminded us that this rogue agency MUST be held accountable for its horrific actions.
The other day I joked that Trump was doing a good job killing the US auto industry and in no way is that a joke. Watching American manufacturers make the same mistakes of the 70s and 80s and 2000s all again is bad, but Trump is making it so much worse by the day.
