Americans should be able to FOIA the AI prompts the government uses to generate this stuff. (If only to assure themselves the word "aryan" isn't being used.)

The flag thing like literally every other tweet is a distraction—from something important going on like government shutdown and not swearing in our rep.
Amidst the mayhem of the Johnson/Truss/Sunak years I once posted on X that I could not tweet as fast as new scandals occurred.
I feel the same about Trump’s America today
– where every day brings some new outrage, that would normally be enough to bring any other President down.
Republican members of Congress would be baying for blood if a Democrat President committed even a fraction of the outrages which Donald Trump seems to get away with, time and again.
Senator Murphy:
It’s pretty wild that the corruption is so brazen, is so transparent.
Vought sent out this tweet yesterday saying, I’m canceling energy projects in the following states, and listed the states.
And every single one of them is a state represented by two Democratic senators.
And the one Democratic senator who voted for the Republican continuing resolution
—that senator’s state wasn’t on the list.
So, you know, it’s just there for everybody to s…

Always a tweet!
Trump (in 2013): “A shutdown falls on president’s lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they get to be solved from the top. A shutdown means president is WEAK.”
Here's the CEO of Vercel chatting with Netanjahu about AI _today_.
Great that Mr Rauch is now "Optimistic for Peace, safety and greatness for Israel and its neighbors". People in Gaza will be very happy.
You still deploying all your shit to Vercel and using their software stack?

On Sunday, group chats around the capital lit up with a 31-tweet-long thread by a crypto investor named Adam Cochran alleging that Trump was in ill health.
This morning, the press corps was kept about 100 yards from the president.
The speculation wasn’t helped by a series of strange answers J.D. Vance gave in a USA Today interview last week,
where he said he was ready to be president if needed:
“I've gotten a lot of good on-the-job training over the last 200 day…

How is "White House Posts Tweet with a 40-Star American Flag" not headline news
Bit of an odd request: Does anyone happen to have a screenshot of this viral tweet on the #climatecrisis?
It was along the lines of
"Me opening a beer: Ah, it doesn't get better than this
Climate scientists: Yup"
“Na de walgelijke tweet van Wilders is er nu BBB-leider Caroline van der Plas die de aanval opent op de ‘islamisering’ van Nederland, schrijft onze tv-recensent. „De klagerige angst die wordt aangewakkerd voor een islamisering die niet bestaat, veroorzaakt een afkeer van mensen die wel degelijk bestaan.”
A toot quoted a tweet earlier (can't find it now) highlighting that "antifa" may be cute for those associating with it, but it allows opponents to criticise without admitting to being fascists.
I agree. If the intention is to protest resurgence of fascism, then cute names that do not name the danger are counter-productive.
SWP had the right idea when they set up the "Anti Nazi League", which is now part of "Unite Against Fascism".

You tweet about gatekeeping and #AI, and the next thing you know, you're obsolete. Maybe AI took his job? https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/goodbye-github/
And then it became "quote tweet" in 2020.

I know it's hopelessly naive of me (and it's going to go over like a lead balloon on here), but I often think that AI can kind of reset the scales on Brandolini's law.
You see some of this dynamic with Grok already, where despite Musk's best efforts, the poor bot just keeps outputting consensus reality.
What's more, the hardcore X crowd is more than happy to ask Grok to fact check any single tweet. There is real appetite for a quick, automated fact checker.

US ethnic cleansing and what to do about it
Reposting link to source article instead of screenshot of tweet that had no alt text:
Data on arrests shows that ICE was heavily engaged in racial profiling in LA, because their arrest numbers fell by ~66% after that were ordered to stop making arrests based just in factors like skin color, with place, or language spoken.

All of which is the work of either the National Park Service or the D.C. parks department.
Of course, Trump & DOGE fired a bunch of Park Service folks and Congress has been playing games with the D.C. budget, so I guess it gave the Guard something to do. https://bird.makeup/users/macfarlanene

In 1999, 307 people were killed in Moscow apartment bombings that propelled putin into control of russia.
Perhaps we should be glad that as potus moved toward control of the U.S., fewer people were immediately killed?
USAID cuts alone have already lead to tens of thousands of preventable deaths.
Gosh, this post got dark.
What is happening here? F-35s for fighting against drugs traffickers is very strange. An attack against Venezuela would be a good distraction for Trump from everything that is going wrong elsewhere.

Over the weekend, federal judge Karen Immergut blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland.
The ruling cited Trump’s own tweet, which described Portland as “war ravaged,”
in determining that he does not have unlimited authority to wildly invent facts on the ground wholesale as a pretext to justify any use of the military he wants.
“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,”
this Trump-appointed judge declared.

Cowboys in pursuit of Raiders' Maxx Crosby? Explaining the Trey Wingo tweet that kicked off speculation about a trade https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/cowboys-raiders-maxx-crosby-trey-wingo-speculation-trade/51b…
Geert Wilders posted an islamophic image in a tweet a few days ago and is now being sued for it.
The thing is, the image is clearly AI generated. This means that the prompt for it is still around somewhere.
Under US discovery, that prompt would certainly be made public; possibly in the Dutch system as well.
This suggests some interesting possibilities. First, if Wilders made the image himself, his language in the prompt may have been more candid than his public persona.
Really bad stuff is continuing to happen. The White House is now circulating a draft of a bill that would vastly expand Trump’s authority for exactly these types of bombings.
We’ve also had another one of these strikes, and it appears just as dubious as the first one.
And Trump announced that strike with an absolutely deranged tweet that should raise alarms everywhere, but isn’t.
Meanwhile, Democrats just introduced a measure to restrain Trump and the prospects for getti…
