The lawsuit, which was filed at the San Francisco County Superior Court on 21 July, details how Winter was a regular ChatGPT user and came to rely it on it for medical advice, resisting efforts from family members and friends to make him go to hospital.

Weeks before falling severely ill, he consulted the tool about recurring dizzy spells and "bouts of blood pressure instability".

In one response, the lawsuit claims, ChatGPT advised Winters to remain in the recliner chair he had become "mainly confined to" due to ongoing health problems.

Court documents say Winters suffered a "massive pulmonary embolism due to multiple blood clots in both of his lungs that brought him to the brink of death, one that his doctors stated was likely brought on because of his immobility".

Screenshots of exchanges that Winters allegedly had with ChatGPT appear to show the chatbot combined medical advice with references to the 55-year-old's deeply-held Christian faith.

The lawsuit claims ChatGPT told Winters: "God did not design your body to endlessly fail." It also said: "God is still holding your body together, every heartbeat, every breath, even when it feels like you are on the brink."

Winters' lawyers claim ChatGPT's "sycophantic nature and authoritative tone, combined with its manipulation of Scott's religious identity, cultivated in him a dangerous reliance on the tool".

They say that "subverted Scott's ability to make sound decisions, isolated him from family members who urged him to seek medical care, and convinced him that seeking medical attention was unnecessary and even potentially lethal".

This is an absurd accusation. Iran has been incredibly restrained when interacting with the US and Israel. When Trump pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018, Iran continued to follow the JCPOA.

All of Iran's attacks have on US bases have been proportional to the US attacks. The media exaggerates and says that Iran has attacked many countries, but it only attacks the US bases in those countries, bases which attacked Iran first.

Honestly I think Iran has been too restrained with the US. I think Iran should stop giving so much leniency to US fuckery.

Iran doesn't want to have nukes because of religious reasons. Iran should have nukes because it is the only form of deterrence that the Imperialist forces understand.

The US murdered 160 Iranian school girls on the very first day of the 2026 US war against Iran. Not accidentally. Intentionally. The US bombed the same school again shortly later to kill the rescuers.

This meme is so true because US didn't read the MoU that Trump signed. Point 5 says that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz.

Yesterday, a reporter asked why Marco Rubio why the US signed the MoU when Point 5 clearly says that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio says that he doesn't interpret the document to say that.

  1. Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements, to the best of its ability, for the safe passage of commercial vessels, free of charge for 60 days, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. Commercial shipping will begin immediately and will be fully established within 30 days, subject to the removal of technical and military obstacles and demining operations carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran will consult with the Sultanate of Oman regarding the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in accordance with applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz, and will also exchange views with other Gulf coastal states.

It very clearly says that the Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz to make arrangements for commercial vessels for 60 days. Also that Iran would consult Oman for future administration of the strait. The document does not say that the US can open the strait.

The US official position is that the US doesn't know how to read the MoU document that Trump signed in France and that's why the US is attacking Iran.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament and chief negotiator with US, mocked the US over surging energy costs on X.

“They wanted to punish Iran,” he wrote. “Punished themselves with triple-digit oil instead. 10/10 strategy,” with three applause emojis.

The post carried a cartoon of a cyclist labeled “World/US economy” jamming a stick into his own wheel under the caption “Let’s blockade Iran, Easy Peasy,” then sprawled on the pavement beside a list of $150 oil, global recession, $7 gasoline and 10% mortgages, ending with the bicyclist blaming Iran: “Iran did this.”

Brent crude jumped 7.2% Thursday to $100.88, its first time above $100 in two months, after Ansar Allah struck two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. Just two weeks ago it sat below $72. Goldman Sachs says it could reach $120 by the fourth quarter if Hormuz stays disrupted.

US gasoline has climbed from under $3 in February to over $4, a figure Democrats raised repeatedly at this week’s Senate hearing on war funding.

Do Not Commit War Crimes for Anyone; citing superior orders to justify war crimes does not absolve the perpetrators of criminal liability.

The U.S. ruling establishment intends to sacrifice whatever remains of international humanitarian law and the foundations of human ethics and civilization to its insatiable appetite for war and slaughter.

A policy that calls for the destruction of bridges and power plants is manifestly unlawful and criminal. It constitutes reprisal and collective punishment—both of which are explicitly prohibited as war crimes under international humanitarian law and U.S. domestic law alike, specifically under 18 U.S.C. § 2441 (the War Crimes Act). There is no statute of limitations for these offenses. The Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Department of Defense Law of War Manual make it unequivocally clear that service members have both a legal and moral duty to refuse manifestly unlawful orders.

Iran stands firm and resolute against lawlessness and the flouting of the law.

Iran spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei (12 hours ago)

The repeated U.S. attacks and threats against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities not only constitute a flagrant violation of the core principles of the UN Charter, international law, and the relevant resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors, General Conference, and UN Security Council, but also reveal the United States’ deep-rooted enmity toward Iran’s scientific progress and technological development.

Iran’s nuclear activities have been fully declared to the IAEA in accordance with its safeguards obligations. Washington’s obsessive focus on Kolang Kouh where no nuclear activity is taking place is nothing more than a fabricated pretext for aggression, destruction, and sabotage. By the way, where is the Director General of the IAEA, who is also a candidate for UN Secretary-General? The Iranian people stand resolute and united, ready to confront with full strength any act of U.S. hostility or violation of their country’s sovereignty and national security.

The equation of this war is clear: either all or no one.

In the region where we don’t sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe and the security of the strait is in the absence of U.S. forces. We have repeatedly said that the situation in the strait does not go back to before the war.

Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response.

Iran spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei (4 hours ago) (translated)

Today, we buried the newly found pieces of our children’s bodies in Minab; with each piece, a part of our being went to the ground. Every piece of our children’s small bodies is a lasting document of suffering that will never be erased from Iranian memory.

But this grief does not belong to one nation; it is a warning to the conscience of the international community. The greatest threat to human civilization is the normalization of an idea that, claiming to “help nations,” spreads all legal and moral boundaries to demonstrate the naked power, an idea that denies technology in the service of destruction, the media in the service of denial, and the truth in the service of false narratives, and calmly justifies the most heinous crimes.

It's a shame that throughout the US Secretary of War’s congressional hearing, not a single question was asked regarding the "human" aspect of America's ruthless war against the Iranian nation, fully aware that this was an illegal war of choice accompanied by countless war crimes, #Minab and #Lamerd being just two of them.

The House has passed the $1.1 trillion National Defense Authorization Act 216–212, with six Democrats voting yes and seven Republicans voting no. It incudes section 219 which integrates U.S. military intelligence and the defense industrial base with Israel.

The bill makes US military support for Israel easier and more institutionalized. It creates a Pentagon official tasked with accelerating U.S.-Israel military technology cooperation, including joint R&D, testing, co-production, data sharing, and moving jointly developed technology into procurement.

Separately, it extends through 2029 an existing authority allowing the U.S. to transfer weapons already stored in its War Reserve Stockpile in Israel. That authority can permit transfers without Congress voting on each shipment, with Congress only receiving notification under the underlying law.

I missed 1 day. I use my posts as personal note taking. Sometimes I search through my old posts for information. Search engines suck for finding specific articles.

I try to add information to the post relevant for each day. I wish for other people to add discussion to the posts, but I understand if some people aren't interested.

I think the biggest development recently is that Ansarallah has said it is blockading Saudi Arabia ships since yesterday.

Based on reports of the past hour, I think centcom will make another attack announcement very soon.

Marco Rubio says Iran doesn't have civilian infrastructure because Iran only spends money on its military. If Iran has no infrastructure, then what is the US attacking? The US attacked the largest civilian bridge in Iran, 'B1 bridge', which was constructed starting in 2015.

Pete Hegseth testified before congress yesterday to request $37.5 billion additional funding for the Iran war on top of the regular Pentagon budget. The proposed 2027 military budget is $1.5 trillion dollars, almost double the military budget of 2026.

The propaganda narrative doesn't make sense on face value. "We have to bomb Iran because Iran doesn't build any new civilian infrastructure" What are you bombing? "We're bombing Iran's new civilian infrastructure."

MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Police are investigating after a garbage truck explosion injured a sanitation worker.

The blast is blamed on improperly disposed oxygen tanks.

The oxygen tank exploded as it was being picked up by a garbage truck in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Two men were behind the truck, preparing to add more trash when it happened.

Shrapnel hit one of the workers in the eye.

Luckily, he was wearing safety goggles and only suffered minor injuries.

Similar incidents have happened across the country.

Oxygen tanks should either be returned to a medical supplier or dropped off at a household hazardous waste facility.

US said it ended strikes on Iran after only 1 hour today. On previous day, the attack lasted for around 6 hours.

U.S. Forces Complete 11th Night of Strikes Against Iran

TAMPA, Fla. — At 8:15 p.m. ET on July 21, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully completed the 11th consecutive evening of strikes against Iran.

CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway vital for regional and global trade. The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation.

Despite Iranian aggression, the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessel transit. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil.

It mentions Mamdani 1 time in the document. It says he refused to denounce DSA for supporting Assata Shakur. Though today in the news, the Trump admin is feuding with Mamdani because Mamdani told NYTimes that he's consulting lawyers to whether he can arrest Netanyahu during his planned visit to NYC in September. Trump put out a tweet around 4 hours ago saying that Netanyahu isn't allowed to be arrested in the US.

state department quote

It is difficult to overstate the success of Cuba’s Shakur strategy. Shakur’s celebrity status serves as yet another example of how Cuba’s distinctive genre of Third World leftism has graduated from the fringes of the 1960s into the mainstream. Her death was not just mourned by BLM activists; it was met with a flood of glowing obituaries in legacy American media. The NAACP praised the convicted murderer as “a revolutionary who never wavered in her fight for Black liberation and a symbol of resistance against oppression.” Democratic congresswoman Ayanna Pressley tweeted “Rest in Power,” and shared a video of herself leading a crowd in call-and- response recitation of one of Shakur’s slogans. On the campaign trail in 2025, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to denounce a Democratic Socialists of America tribute to Shakur.

I searched for 'George Floyd' in the 100 page document and it appears 4 or 5 times. The document alleges that Cuba promoted the protests that occurred in response to George Floyd's murder. The implication being that protests were motivated by Cuba, rather than the injustice of police brutality.

All of this came on the heels of the Cuban regime’s gleeful support of the George Floyd uprisings. As protests and riots swept American cities in the summer of 2020, Cuban state media and officials issued daily commentary portraying the United States as a systemically racist country morally unfit to criticize Cuba’s human-rights record. Cuban President Miguel Díaz- Canel denounced America’s “practically uncontrolled expressions of hatred, racism, police brutality” in a September 2020 speech at the UN General Assembly. At the same time, the Cuban regime was violently repressing and imprisoning Afro-Cuban dissident artists and others who had criticized police killings of Afro-Cubans, and protested for artistic freedom inside Cuba.
