Judges appear to be using artificial intelligence to issue rulings — and the errors are adding up.
Have you thought to yourself, “I wonder what’s at the bottom of that huge fucking pit?” Probably not, considering we’re located twenty-seven miles down a dirt road. Welcome to Serenity Oasis Quarry and Mineral Mine.
Straddling the border of Kansas and Missouri, this natural wonder was birthed into existence when prospectors en route to California lost steam and decided to blast a giant hole in the ground they were already on to see if there was any mineral of literally any value. There wasn’t.
We’re so happy to have you here.
To enter the quarry, take the stairs. All 576 of them. They’re wooden, so if it rained recently, they’ll be slippery. If it hasn’t rained, they’ll still be slippery. Discretion is advised. Cleats recommended. Hard hats required. Admittance: $10.
There is also an elevator, but it’s a dumbwaiter pulley system from 1952, run by Quarry Dan. He’s the strongest man this side of the Mississippi when it comes to operating a dumbwaiter pulley system from 1952, but he takes a lot of smoke breaks, so service is sporadic.
Beware of bats. Especially at 9 a.m. What’s the opposite of nocturnal? That’s what the quarry bats are.

Matthew Murphy, a former Green Beret and president of Sentinel Foundation, has recently praised Hitler on Instagram and claimed to be conducting ‘manhunting’ for an unnamed African prime minister. His foundation is closely partnered with the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “aid” operation. This article was originally published by Jack Poulson at All-Source Intelligence. “I do exorcisms now, all day, pretty much,” stated Dr. Michael Cocchini, the author of the book “The War Within,” during a gathering of ‘Christian warriors’ at the late country music […]

Trump: Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!! The current plan is 35% tariffs on everything not covered by the USMCA trade deal. But here’s the thing: Canada buys more US exports than […]

Well Hiya!!
Oh shucks! Is that not how y’all greet each other here in the big city? Shoot! Gosh darn it! Dagnabit and some Kraft on a Cracker. I’m sorry.
Let’s start over.
Hi. I’m Kayley. I could also have been Jenny or Kelly or Lindsey, but I am Kayley. My middle name is Marie or Nicole and I am blonde.
But like good blonde. Expensive blonde. The kind of blonde that may have been affordable back in my little hometown of Ohio, but that is going to set me back like six hundred dollars a month here in the big city! My hair will be perfect every time you see me, so it’s up to you to decide how I’m affording balayage on a waitress’s salary.
I am, of course, a waitress. My work uniform requires cute accent buttons, so I have a bunch. Including one that I brought myself to make sure I never forget where I’m from. My favorite city in the world: Nebraska. We have restaurants there, too! Fancy ones! Like Olive Garden and the Food Court at the Nice Mall with the Zales in it.

As with many of Trump’s proposals, it’s unclear how serious he is about his vague call for further U.S. involvement in Gaza food aid.

. Bonhoeffer warned of societies where individuals surrender their moral and intellectual autonomy to authoritarian leaders or dogmatic ideologies. Viewed through this lens, Trumpism appears to embody the very perils Bonhoeffer predicted — demanding ideological conformity while marginalising independent moral judgment, elevating political expediency over truth and fostering a climate of reflexive allegiance, where critical […]

The constitutional order will not defend us from a judge so committed to Trump’s presidential authoritarianism.

The Pegasus hacking tool was just the beginning. A new survey of spyware firms reveals Israeli companies are being used by agencies in Western nations to build perfect dictatorships under democratic guise. This article was originally published by ¡Do Not Panic! Last week another batch of peaceful pro-Palestine protestors were arrested by British police on suspicion of terrorism offenses, including a disabled man in a wheelchair, as the UK continues its descent into authoritarianism on behalf of Israel.
