'“Welcome, but be good” is not the language of citizenship. It is the language of a landlord. Or a bouncer. Or a king.'

Double creepy with the dog-growling posture in the picture, with a side of dumb, as passports are not visas.

The point about merging the "brand" of the USA with the "brand" of Trump is spot on; definitely a disturbing pattern here. Narcissist of fascist? Why not both?


Is this for real?

yes but it's an optional limited edition run

And only available in person at the Washington Passport Agency.

The passport is real, this style of book will be a limited-edition option when you renew.

The article, though, is AI slop.


The author is a macro economy writer with a 10 years old Twitter account. Most of the article is a quote, then his personal opinion. https://mishtalk.com/about/ I'm all for calling out automated content written by AI/LLM but this one doesn't seem to be.

Its entirely possible they still used some sort of AI to either transcript or edit their content tho, even if personally dictated by them etc. At which point slop becomes human authorship depends on your POV i guess

That’s not what “AI slop” means and I’m confident you know that.
