We need more Americans to speak up like this woman “I'm officially coming out as a Republican. The left has truly swayed me over to the right — I used to be on the left — I was an activist for the LGBT people before they even had a legal right to marry” “I can't stand y'all anymore” She explains how she makes one comment accidentally not using a pronoun and she is now being relentlessly attacked by the “woke trans mob” She says she’s going through extreme bullying from the Left The Left is even going to her old videos where she’s grieving her dead mom and bullying both her and leaving nasty comments about her mom “I've been nothing but supportive — at this point I'm coming out. I'm voting Republican down the f*cking line. I'm done. Next thing Trump should do is bring back insane asylums and put these f*cking people in it”

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

Anyone arguing that minor damage to a US aircraft, sustained while lollygagging over hostile airspace is an epoch altering event is arguing the US military is so strong that the mere damaging of one of its weapons is a great feat.

In the BBC post a lawyer did better against AI in a case example, but the Lawyer charge 950 pounds because of time spent while AI charged 10 pounds for five minutes on it. The client chose the AI version to present to court.

BREAKING: Foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries arrive at the meeting venue in Riyadh to discuss how to respond to Iran’s repeated attacks against their countries.

The state of Texas will not observe the Cesar Chavez Day holiday. I am directing all Texas state agency heads to comply. In the upcoming legislative session, I will work with Texas lawmakers to remove Cesar Chavez Day from state law altogether. Reports of the horrific and widely acknowledged sexual assault allegations against Cesar Chavez rightfully dismantle the myth of this progressive hero and undermine the narrative that elevated Chavez as a figure worthy of official state celebration.
