Maybe Canada can buy us out when Musk and Trump complete destroying the country

Hamas is a terrorist group though

Gotta wander these days if these are Republican appointed “scientists” (assuming US source)

Not sure if this is relevant but would be interesting to see what words have high cosine similarity with “Trump” in different pre-trained LLMs

I hope trump is not going to start sending support to Putin

It’s not like they are going to read it. They just learned from the last round of mass-firings that they will get sued if they lie about firing people for performance reasons. Now they will have plausible deniability when lying about firing people for performance reasons.
