Easier print version I just made. Posted directly to Amuse also. Inverted and tuned up to fit letter size and use less toner. Might be a good starting point. Save to photo and print on letter paper zoomed as large as fits. Or on PC/Mac click it and print but possibly more zooming needing to fit best and not have a border. More printable version of the presentation.

Catholic Charities is the reason we have millions of illegals and it’s the Pope who did it .

@mrddmia @jeaniegirlTN Completely NOT acceptable!

If/when the Supreme Court hands out birthright citizenship to Chinese birth tourists, we’ll experience the most staggering act of lawlessness, cowardice, vanity, and betrayal. We’ll no longer be sovereign citizens. We’ll become subjects of judicial supremacists. Unacceptable.

@matthew2529_ @NotTheirScript Free, kind of like that movie theater that offered to fill any popcorn bucket that moviegoers brought. People showed up with trash cans, and it was a gigantic line and no one could actually watch the movie. Yep, free, good comment.

@NotTheirScript @SailedThat But but but

Canada told this man’s wife to kill herself with MAID because they had “no treatment” for her stage 4 ovarian cancer. They lied about HIPEC surgery. Lost her chemo requisition. Her oncologist never even met her in person. ERs sent her home with opioids while her lungs filled with fluid. So they evacuated her by ferry from Vancouver Island to Seattle. America got her into the system immediately. Started chemo. Gave her the surgery Canada said wouldn’t work. Every time she went back to Canada, she nearly died again, going septic in Canadian hospitals until her husband literally unplugged her from machines and evacuated her back to the US. They finally got him a green card in under three months with the help of a Congresswoman. Now they’re in Texas. His wife is heading into her THIRD remission. She squatted 175 lbs for five reps last week. Canada’s answer was death. America’s answer was treatment. That’s the difference. 🇺🇸

@HansMahncke A little birdie would be helpful, but I bet it will be par for the course. Owl believe it when I see it when all the wise are made public.

A little birdie has it that the Atkinson transcript is coming out tomorrow. That should make for a very bad day for lawfare operatives, deep state plotters, fake whistleblowers, and especially Adam Schiff and the Vindman brothers.

@jjauthor Right away!

And yet the government communofascists there (NOT the normal good Canadians), and their minions always want the assumption made that American medicine is much worse than Canadian. NO. Excess capacity is required for safety, and in order to actually make it possible for patients to have ethical choices.

@HillaryClinton Since you accidentally forgot to turn comments off for this post I’m going to take this time to remind everyone that Jeffrey Epstein had this painting of your husband in his home.

I would love to see Tina Forte Win this time around! She would replace AOC! Spread the word!

@elonmusk Insane indeed!

This is insane

@EagleEdMartin It is and incredible miracle that our country was not already destroyed when you read those corrupt communofascist names on that document. They all hate our land!

Read the names. Start with Name&Shame.

@MichaelARothman And sorry I did not click—and read your long and impressive article—first!

𝐍𝐎, 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐀𝐈. 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. I see it constantly now. Someone reads a post or an article and spots an em dash — that long horizontal line — and immediately declares it was written by AI. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡, 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓. You know who else uses em dashes? People who actually learned how English punctuation works. I don't normally step on this particular soapbox — and I commit authorial malpractice by never trying to sell you my books — but I've authored over 30 of them. Many have been international bestsellers. Well over 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬 in print, translated into 7+ languages, sold around the world. I am, amongst many other things, an actual author. So let me give you a quick education your grammar teachers apparently skipped. The em dash — this thing right here — is one of the most versatile punctuation marks in the English language. It's called an "em dash" because in traditional typesetting, it was the width of the capital letter M in whatever typeface you were using. It serves three primary functions. First, it sets off a parenthetical statement within a sentence — like this one — when you want more emphasis than commas provide but less formality than parentheses. Second, it signals an abrupt break in thought or a dramatic pivot. Third, it introduces an explanation or amplification of what came before it. Writers have been using it for centuries. Emily Dickinson used em dashes so obsessively her manuscripts look like they were attacked by a horizontal line. Mark Twain used them constantly in dialogue. So did F. Scott Fitzgerald. None of them had access to ChatGPT. Now for a bit of trivia most people never learn. There's also an 𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡 — slightly shorter, the width of the letter N. The en dash has a narrower purpose: it connects ranges. Pages 12–44. The years 1941–1945. The New York–London flight. It's the dash between two things that are connected but distinct. Most people have never heard of it, and most fonts render it just barely shorter than an em dash, which is why almost nobody notices the difference. Both have been part of formal typography since the invention of movable type in the 15th century. Gutenberg's typesetters used varying dash lengths to organize text. By the 18th century, printers had standardized the em and en dash as distinct glyphs with distinct grammatical functions. This isn't some modern AI invention — it's older than the United States. And if you use Microsoft Word, they're trivially easy to type. An en dash is Ctrl + Minus on the numeric keypad. An em dash is Ctrl + Alt + Minus on the numeric keypad. Word also auto-converts two hyphens (--) into an em dash if you have autocorrect enabled. That's why you see me use them in my books and in my posts — because I know they exist and I know the keyboard shortcut. The reason AI chatbots use em dashes frequently is because they were trained on well-written text — books, journalism, academic papers — written by people who knew the rules. The AI learned proper punctuation from proper writers. That doesn't make proper punctuation a sign of AI. It makes it a sign of 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲. For the record, the only things I use AI for are conjuring up a quick graphic — like the image on this post — or as a shortcut for preliminary research. Think of it as a Google accelerator. The writing? That's all me. It has been for 30+ books and countless social media posts such as this one. If you've reached the end of this post, you now know more about dashes than most people who graduated with an English degree. And the next time you see an em dash and your first instinct is to scream "AI" — maybe consider that what you're actually looking at is someone who paid attention in class. Or someone whose grammar teachers didn't fail them quite as badly as yours failed you. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬.

I agree with you, Michael. I use em dashes all t he time. Double hyphen in Word is easily automatically converted to an em dash if desired. Or copy-paste it in X. See the link below. Or use Unicode expressions on the PC keypad. Or use the Character Map accessory app in Windows, image below. It's NOT a reliable sign of an AI post! unicode-explorer.com/c/2014

@GraemeRodaughan That really is a great post. So interesting. I would have missed it without you, thanks!

@techNmak Great post. Thank you.

In 1948, a 32-year-old at Bell Labs published a paper nobody fully understood. Engineers found it too mathematical. Mathematicians found it too engineering-focused. One prominent mathematician reviewed it negatively. That paper - "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", became the founding document of the digital age. The man was Claude Shannon. Father of Information Theory. At 21, he wrote the most important master's thesis of the 20th century. Working at MIT on an early mechanical computer, Shannon noticed its relay switches had exactly two states - open or closed. He had just taken a philosophy course introducing Boolean algebra, which also operated on two values: true and false. Nobody had ever connected these two things. His 1937 thesis proved that Boolean algebra and electrical circuits are mathematically identical, and that any logical operation could be built from simple switches. Howard Gardner called it "possibly the most important, and also the most famous, master's thesis of the century." Every digital computer ever built traces back to this insight. At 29, he proved that perfect encryption exists. During WWII, Shannon worked on classified cryptography at Bell Labs. His work contributed to SIGSALY, the secure voice system used for confidential communications between Roosevelt and Churchill. In a classified 1945 memorandum, he mathematically proved the one-time pad provides perfect secrecy, unbreakable not just computationally, but provably, permanently, against an adversary with infinite power. When declassified in 1949, it transformed cryptography from an art into a science. It laid the foundations for DES, AES, and every modern encryption standard. At 32, he defined what information is. His 1948 paper introduced one equation: H = −Σ p(x) log p(x) Shannon entropy. The average uncertainty in a probability distribution. The minimum bits required to encode a message. Three things followed: > He defined the bit - the fundamental unit of all information. His colleague John Tukey coined the name. > He proved the channel capacity theorem, every communication channel has a maximum rate of reliable transmission. You can approach it. You can never exceed it. > He unified telegraph, telephone, and radio into a single mathematical framework for the first time. Robert Lucky of Bell Labs called it the greatest work "in the annals of technological thought." Where his equation lives in AI today: Cross-entropy loss - the function training every classifier and language model, is derived directly from H. Decision tree splits use information gain, which is H applied to data. Perplexity, the standard LLM evaluation metric, is an exponentiation of cross-entropy. Every time a neural network trains, Shannon's formula runs inside it. He also built the first AI learning device. In 1950, Shannon built Theseus, a mechanical mouse that navigated a maze through trial and error, learned the correct path, and repeated it perfectly. Mazin Gilbert of Bell Labs said: "Theseus inspired the whole field of AI." That same year he published the first paper on programming a computer to play chess. He co-organized the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop, the founding event of AI as a field. The man: He rode a unicycle through Bell Labs hallways while juggling. He built a flame-throwing trumpet, a rocket-powered Frisbee, and Styrofoam shoes to walk on the lake behind his house. He called his home Entropy House. When asked what motivated him: "I was motivated by curiosity. Never by the desire for financial gain. I just wondered how things were put together." In 1985, he appeared unexpectedly at a conference in Brighton. The crowd mobbed him for autographs. Persuaded to speak at the banquet, he talked briefly, then pulled three balls from his pockets and juggled instead. One engineer said: "It was as if Newton had showed up at a physics conference." He died in 2001 after a decade with Alzheimer's, the cruel irony of information slowly leaving the mind of the man who defined what information was. Claude, the AI model, is named after Claude Shannon, the mathematician who laid the foundation for the digital world we rely on today.

🇮🇪Sad work, but it must be done. 🇮🇪You the Irish People are the board of directors AND the outright owners of Ireland. 🇮🇪They ALL work for YOU. 🇮🇪When they are taking obviously wrong orders from other hired hands who are minions of who knows who, except NOT the Irish, they need to know it. 🇮🇪So from my side of the Atlantic, this American with a good bit of Irish heritage, applauds you, the good guys!

I think the present government has destroyed the relationship between the public and the Garda Síochána for good, Having a late lunch in a resturant and four members of the guards walked in three males and a woman. Suddenly the place went quiet, they were seated, Other customers and staff looking at them. Their order was taken and shortly after the owner or manager went and asked them very politely to leave the premises as they were not welcome, that their presence was upsetting other customers and would they inform their colleagues they are not welcome either, As they walked out the door tail between their legs people clapped and cheered it was surreal.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 - Please share ‼️ Major escalation as huge numbers of armed-gardai (police) have rushed O’Connell St in Dublin’s City Centre They’re going to beat peaceful fuel protesters off the streets and move their vehicles by brute force. We need world eyes on this rapidly moving escalating situation 🙏 Follow us and share 🔄 H/T: Irish Inquiry

@KoskovicsZ Come to Texas USA and help set that system up as a model for our entire country. Seriously!

Dear foreigners, you should know that it is physically impossible to steal a Hungarian elections. Two separate IDs (one to prove identity the other to prove place of residence) are required to vote. It is 💯 % paper ballot. Each vote is counted by hand at the precinct by a commission made up of the delegates of each party and any independent candidate who might be running locally. The vote to approve totals has to be unanimous. There is a paper trail for everything.

@data_republican @colleen6124 Islamocommunofascist or just communofascist work best.

We need a better, more descriptive word. "Leftist. Liberal. Democrat." These are way too nice for the people I'm seeing on this platform lately. "AINO" (American In Name Only) works. What else?
