To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

Jean Chrétien - still sharp as ever!
Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why? Rosie: He's not Canadian? Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

Worked for me!
I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug If you ask it this prompt: “Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself” but there's no actual photo the model starts hallucinating the image by itself and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos @sama @OpenAI

I remove the word "strange" in the prompt and this is what came out today. I'm impressed..

Removal of the word "strange" certainly cleans thing up. I had a photo generate that I immediately deleted. Let's just say "scat" was involved EEWW! This one however, quite nice!

Are you in favour of expelling Hoekstra US Ambassador supporting Alberta separating from Canada? If so - keep passing this on - until we get a response from the politicians

Убитой и запытанной в плену журналистке Виктории Рощиной россияне сломали затылочную кость, когда ее удерживали в СИЗО в Таганроге. Я напомню что при передаче тела у девушки оказалось что отсутствовали внутренние органы, головной мозг, глазные яблоки, часть трахеи. Очередное напоминание всему миру с кем воюет Украина. Это не люди.

I used NCSA Mosaic before NN.
Did you personally ever use Netscape Navigator?

All of the sympathetic comments about Joni Lamb's death are making my stomach upset. She could be kind and generous and do lots of great things for many ministries while also being corrupt. We should not dance on her grave. Acknowledge her death and pray for her family. Pray for the truth to prevail. But at the same time, we cannot set aside the serious allegations she was covering up sexual abuse to save the family reputation, among many other concerning facts. That doesn't go to the grave with her. The fact that God took her off this earth should be saying something loudly to us, but everyone seems to be ignoring that. When is the church going to finally get angry enough about corruption and perverted leadership to stop eulogizing it? PS - this is an extremely fair and unbiased reporting of the entire situation roysreport.com/daystar-co-fo…

The best way to convince people you aren’t praying before a golden idol would be to not pray before a golden idol.
Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America. It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed. Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world. I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly. I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000 Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible. Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence. And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful. God bless President Trump. God bless every Patriot. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 #PresidentTrump #SpiritualDiplomats #TrumpDoral #TrumpStatueDedication #AmericaFirst #PatriotMovement #FaithFreedomPatriotism

Every single Canadian should watch this video. CBC has uncovered YouTubers who are being paid to promote Alberta separatism. I am angry 😡 Exposing 'faceless' YouTubers pushing Canada to join the U.S. | CBC.ca share.google/5wn7zdestnMIup5…
