That's an old-fashioned view. The magic of modern capitalism is that you can lose money every single day, providing something no one wants, and still get valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.

You should see a doctor about that.

I don't think they are.

So would the wire, resin, cloth, plastic and paint this statue is actually made of. The guy's just wildly overvaluing his time.

Unfortunately this Charlie Kirk statue is made of cheap materials spray-painted to look like metal. So if you tried to melt it down you'd just end up tragically burning it to ash. It would actually burn at a much lower temperature than you'd need to melt a proper statue, so everyone needs to be very careful around it with lighters, gasoline, etc., lest there be a mishap.

I think RFK Jr. is just emitting it.

Everything I've seen so far looks like a promise to continue down Starmer's political dead end.

I heard the main reason people didn't want to buy this is that it doesn't adequately reflect Charlie Kirk's towering stature in the world. If he made a 100-foot-high version in gold, Elon Musk told me he'd personally pay billions for it.

Hey, give the man a break. It may be a terrible, ugly sculpture of a nasty, hateful man but he only wants a few million dollars for it. It probably took him days to make!

He must be true MAGA, since he instantly blames everyone else for his own idiotic life decisions. I bet he spends the rest of his time preaching to people about responsibility.

Outright hoaxes remain rare and are often easy to spot, said Lees – nobody is falling for a toucan sighting in Siberia – but he says birders often use AI to edit and improve an image, and the algorithm can then introduce parts from different bird species to create the new image.

My phone offers an "AI enhance" option after you take a photo. Mostly it tweaks the framing and colours, but it can also do some surprising things and produce a quite different image from the original. I played with it a bit when I first got the phone, and I saw it change people's eye colour, turn their head to face a different way, and add extra strings to musical instruments. So I don't use it, but it sounds like the problem is mostly people using AI image enhancers like that carelessly.

The first couple of paragraphs of the article explain why these are not legal arrests. ICE are legally forbidden from doing this, so their actions should legally be treated the same as if anyone else just grabbed people and imprisoned them.
