TranscriptA tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying "I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!" with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying "this isn't how birthdays work"

Ah, but in ignorance is bliss! So which of us, truly, can know the loser? Is not the knowing of others but the knowing of self? Is reflected in defeat, victory? In victory, the ignomy of defeat?

Perhaps an appeal to the authority on such questions:

Tragic, espies the jester of his lord;
There which lies one who may make sport of kings;
yet lone they know which jests do jape the truth,
lest not be ill words thrown by there the throne...


Seriously tho, not even waxing iambic, do you see how much store you're setting by this? Look, you're never going to convince anyone by claiming AIs as a credible source for anything you claim. Laying it out that, even if you did get your evidence from one, just take a page from this administration's book and lie about it.

... But you're still not going to convince anyone even if you do, you yourself present multiple more feasible theories for his abnormal height than "they're giving him hormone therapy" (why? what possible reason could they have for doing that? Seriously, why??). And surely I don't have to rip off the bard again to explain the fundementally quixotic nature of trying to malign the intelligence of someone while citing your own Genuinely™ inexpert opinion as a credible source, one to which you turn to establish the credibility of your claim? It's just circular citations, a death loop to the meaningless realms of pure chaos! You'll destroy us all with your speculation!
