This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Let's Remember When Tim Curry Played A Huge Scary Red Guy | Defector
The actor Tim Curry died on Tuesday. He was 80. He was as purely and consistently fun a screen presence as anyone else I can think of, a cartoon of a performer, with outrageous charisma and the abilit...

I would never draw the conclusion that most of those dropped are in blue areas, but regardless Texans, check your registration status ASAP. It's easy and only takes a minute.
Bruce Little@brucedlittle.bsky.social · 3d agoMore than 1.2 million Texans are on the state’s Voter Suspense list ahead of the fall’s contentious midterm elections. Texans still have time to check if they’re registered to vote before the October 5 deadline. Here’s how.
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
I do think it’s whorephobia that of all the Dolly tributes I’ve seen on TV tonight, not single one of them has mentioned how she starred in a movie called “The Best Little WHOREHOUSE in Texas” where she lovingly and respectfully portrayed a whorehouse madame.

Asking yourself “What would Dolly Parton do?” is an effective way to ensure that you go through life being as kind as possible to other people. I have used this question to sharpen my decision-making on more than one occasion.
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
Fred Rogers and Dolly Parton are examples of what truly loving ones' fellow man looked like.
Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.
every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
dolly parton taught millions of children to read dolly parton raised millions of dollars for cancer research and disaster relief dolly parton stood by the lgbtq community her entire life dolly parton personally helped fund the moderna vaccine if there was a right side of something she was on it
RIP to a personal hero. Dolly Parton gave free books to children, and over thirty years she's given out over 300 million books to kids in need. What an angel.
Do we get to randomly rename stuff too? "The president lives at the Pedophile House, where he checks in on the latest news in the Iran conflict from the Department of Massive Losses before doing an event with Secretary of Human Suffering RFK Jr."
well you wanted to go back to the old days and now you got bugs in the food and people dying of measles so congrats, I guess?
Democrats: I'm a "get stuff done Democrat." I want to work with my good friends across the aisle to help President Trump Make America Great Again Average Dem voter:
I do not want cooperation, I want prosecution. But Hakeem Jeffries doesn't care what you want - unless you are an Israeli politician or a lobbyist for one.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 5d agoI do not want Democrats to figure out how they can work together to help Donald Trump enact his agenda. I want Democrats to win power and then act as a wrench in the gears of government for the rest of Trump's term. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
BREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...

A real journalist wouldn't publish this without asking the officials to name the ships that exited the strait, so that the information could be independently verified. 🤡

And I will bet that not a single reporter followed up with the obvious “How, exactly, can you fix the bond market with the military?”
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last wk.Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.
Kevin passed about an hour ago. The time to find his cats a home IS now, and I'm not one step closer to finding it. Please, friends.

My wife's lifelong friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is desperately seeking a home for his two cats when that time comes. The elder, Wally, is something like 13 years old and DELIGHTFULLY dim.

Does anyone else feel like they’re defiling this when they pull it out of the packaging?
