Profanity friendly, cranky, and never finding enough coffee or gin.

George IV of England, a fat slob much like Donald Trump.
The creator of the fake account also tried making a liberal equivalent that failed to gain traction. “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much.” (Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.”)
A ventriloquist dummy resembling US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson with the words 'I don't know anything about that' below it.
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as a civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
Another set of studies found that honeybees crowd out native bees because they have natural advantages. They store food over the winter, giving them a head start in the spring; they have large foraging areas; and they communicate to one another the location of flowers — something solitary bees can’t do. One oft-cited study found that, over three months, a 40-hive apiary collects the amount of pollen that would have fed 4 million wild bees. Another showed that when there was a surge in urban beekeeping in Montreal, the biodiversity of wild bees declined significantly. Many native bees are specialists, feeding on just one genus of plant. When honeybees are abundant, the native bees retreat to feeding on less-beneficial plants, resulting in steep declines in their numbers.
