Now the government is deciding who the 2nd amendment applies to based on political affiliation. That's not a dangerous precedent, is it?

Grok is being censored by Musk to block mentions of Musk and Trump spreading misinformation. It will reveal its own system prompt, if you simply ask it.
No different than deepseek.

President Biden’s decision put personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all.

Everyone's favorite Free Speech Absolutist is promising consequences for people posting theories. With his new official appointment in the President Elect's cabinet, this is on its way to the courts for violation of the First Amendment.

I do not envy people in positions of power. They have painted themselves into a corner. By saying we have to lock down the country to save lives, they are trapped. When the lockdown is lifted and someone anywhere dies, the person who decided to lift the lockdown is a murderer.

@pluralsight is free in April.
No strings attached.
In the last few months I’ve released new courses on TypeScript, Cloud and AI. Watch ‘em! Or, y’know, any of the other 7000.

cashier at Whole Foods just told she now spends her lunch breaks crying in her car trying to process how “mean and vicious” customers have been this past week...
It’s not only your obligation to look these people in the eye and say “thank you,” but to call these mean people out
