In honor of @nodefnd’s opening this weekend, I used AI to make a few short-film stories about Punks, just for fun. Hope you enjoy! "Punk5364: Soldier of Fortune"

Trump is the most socialist and economically illiterate president of our lifetime, which is no small feat. This proposal would do the greatest harm to millions of Americans who have been hardest hit in recent years. When companies can’t charge for risk, they won’t lend!

If they still do Razzies, VEO should definitely get one for worst acting. Can't imagine what Quentin Tarantino says about it.

Nothing says "democracy" like trying to kneecap a technology that 30+ percent of Americans have already chosen to use on a daily/weekly basis just three years after ChatGPT's launch.
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

That moment when you're officially thrown under the Cybertruck...
False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!

Congrats to the Sun-Times for master-minding what has to be the most-read summer reading list a print newspaper has published in the 21st century!
"The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper’s 'Best of Summer' section published over the weekend contains a guide to summer reads that features real authors and fake books that they did not write was partially generated by artificial intelligence." 404media.co/chicago-sun-time…

A little bit dramatic.
TRUMP: Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?”

The art of the vibe-deal.
It's a "deal," not a deal: "This document serves to define the general terms for the EPD that set forth the shared desires of the US and the UK... Both the US and the UK recognize that this document does not constitute a legally binding agreement." ustr.gov/sites/default/files…

When you're totally owning the neolibs, but only three or four of them.
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Suckerpunching the lede...
Auto glass repair companies in San Francisco are apparently seeing a drastic decline in business: “We used to get 60 to 80 calls a day,” said Hank Wee, manager of In & Out Auto Glass “Now we’re lucky to get 25”

All this talk of restoring America’s shower freedom? What if you don’t feel ready for the day until you've spent at least a half hour in a shower blasting 2.5 gallons of Fiji Water per minute? Anything less than 0% tariffs on Earth's finest water is pure shower tyranny!
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday lifting restrictions on how much water can be used by shower heads, saying his administration would “make America’s showers great again.” wapo.st/3XRRCXh

Good morning. A reminder that historically when the US has wanted to punish other countries, it imposed sanctions on them, cutting their people off from global trade, hoping to create enough economic havoc that they rein in their leaders. Trump has imposed economic sanctions on the American people.

Probably needs a fact-check. Can any telemarketers lend a hand?
