@robertgraham Deleted my old comment because you are correct. The EVVL 7 Pro 5G is wrong phone, its a HTC U24 Pro, which retails for about $500 so inline with the expected price of the phone.

Fact-checking fact-checkers. There is no evidence this phone is the "EVVL 7 Pro 5G". People just asked the AI, stuck it on the community notes, and everyone believes it because they hate Trump. It's almost certainly something equally cheap and bad, but look at the damn screenshots -- it's not the same phone. The EVVL7 Pro has 4 cameras, the Trump T-1 has 3.

@mukund Stop being broke Mohan.

I rarely eat out. Maybe once a month. Went yesterday to a restaurant (Italian, Mediterranean) in West Seattle for Mother’s Day last night. Total for 5 of us ( we don’t drink alcohol) with one salad, humus and 3 vegetarian pastas was $97 The check said 3.5% surcharge for credit card. Then 17% service fee, mandatory. Then tips were 20% 22% and 25% optional. I asked if I could pay in cash. No. They don’t take cash. Then how can I avoid the credit card fee I asked. You can’t. So I asked why the service charge. It pays for the employees they said. Then why the tip I asked. It pays for front office staff I don’t get it.

@Ike_Saul We would need to see the exact prompt. Output means nothing without input.

We are in deep, deep trouble. A reader wrote in to me this week saying that they wouldn't read my Trump corruption story because ChatGPT "fact-checked the piece" and informed them most of it was false. Among other things, ChatGPT told them that there is no Iran war, Jared Kushner is not a negotiator in the war, Qatar never offered Trump a $400 million plane, George Santos wasn't pardoned, the NYTimes did not report on Syrian billionaires lobbying Trump for sanctions relief, Trump never launched a meme coin, and World Liberty Financial (the Trump family crypto firm) doesn't exist. Of course, all of these things ARE real, do exist, and are happening right now. Apparently, the reader copy and pasted the text of my story into ChatGPT, and without the links ChatGPT couldn't confirm any of it. Once the reader sent ChatGPT the link to the story, it ended up concluding all the facts were correct. How many people simply don't know how to use AI and are offloading all their thinking? It's a terrifying thought. And a totally new frontier of reality to navigate.

@Sephirothwings Bold of you to just come out and say you don't know history, but if that's you, you do you.

@robertgraham Crude Oil was the same price it is today as it was in May of 2022. Did we bomb Iran then too?

The president can do almost nothing to change the price of gasoline. Even releasing a lot of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will not change the price of gasoline much. However, bombing Iran is indeed one of those things that a President can do to change the price of gasoline.

@skumWgmi Work from home was a failed experiment. I wish it worked, but the downsides are too great.

Gen Z doesn't want to come into the office. CORRECT. No one wants to commute 90 minutes round trip, pay $18 to park, buy a lunch they can't expense, sit under fluorescent lights for 9 hours performing productivity, then be told the problem with young people is they don't understand sacrifice. Keep going. You're almost at the real sentence.

@effthealgorithm Pretending this wasn't the world before AI is bold.

I received the stupidest email I have ever received. Literally the dumbest suggestions I have ever seen. I don't think I can trust this company anymore. @CarvanaHelp

this is so accurate 😂

REPORTER: You mentioned that, staying on as Fed governor, you intend to keep a low profile. Could you give us a little more detail on what that looks like? JEROME POWELL: *ducks down*

why would housing prices continue to rise if you're deporting undocumented immigrants? i was told they're the reason why housing prices are high.

This is as good a distillation of one of the principal fascist rationales for total power as you could imagine. "They"? Who, the Democrats? I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden was president, and I don't recall his masked security forces or attempts to overturn elections.

fuck you

@adamscochran I also hear there was another account that was found that simply said Bob's Burgers. Lots of questions to be answered.

….A Twitter account that with no followers, named “Henry Martinez” has one post from 2023 that has the name of the shooter. It has no other posts. While likely unrelated, it is sure weird as hell, and yet another oddity that won’t help conspiracy theories. Most times if you find a name posted on Twitter it won’t be the only post and just the name by itself…

🤔

Here is the thing that bugs me on this. What Director Patel did in college is really just college kids being dumb college kids (PI and Public Urination). I do not think it hurts who he is today. Nothing major. BUT, DHS took harsh action against F-1 students who had similar arrests because they were "criminals" (even when dismissed or no charges filed) yet Director Patel gets to lead the FBI.

@depoflix What about middle east wars? Can we still do that?

@RpsAgainstTrump I think the assumption that America needs to get entangled in European wars needs to be re-examined

President Zelensky: The United States produces about 60, maybe 65, anti-ballistic missiles per month. That is nothing. On the first day of the Iran war, the equivalent of two years of that production was used in 24 hours. We need our European independent strong system, and we will build it.

@MajorBerries Oh no, your retarded 😮‍💨

@EdKrassen What Iran is doing is trying to call the Americans bluff on the blockade. They are trying holding the entire world’s economy hostage by threatening waters that they don’t own because they have no way to fight against this blockade. Their economy is sinking fast. They’re fucked

This just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Late last week Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz was open for good. Then Iran claimed that they closed the Strait of Hormuz and it's not open. And now Trump is claiming that Iran didn't close the Strait, but the US military did. Do Trump supporters not see right through this craziness?

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

If true, wow. When Obama worked with world leaders to do something similar to end Irans nuclear weapons program in 2025, his critics went nuts.
