Dumbass eats nightshade picked from someone yard

Clueless actress Alicia Silverstone worried fans on Monday night after she posted a video of herself eating a mystery fruit that fans warned in the star’s comments could be “poisonous.” Since then, the star hasn’t posted to her social media accounts.

In the video, Silverstone can be seen standing on the street in the UK, where she says she found the unidentified berry. “I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” she says, panning her camera to potted plants that look like they belong to someone’s fenced-in front yard.

“It was on the street and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not,” she says, revealing that she’d already “bit into it.” She shows the camera the innards of the little red bulb. “It’s definitely not [a tomato] because look at these leaves,” she says. Despite not knowing what it is, Silverstone thought it a good idea to still consume it, apparently—though she admits, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this.”

Silverstone has previously been outspoken about her distrust of vaccines and even tampons, which she documented in her book The Kind Mama: A Simple Guide to Supercharged Fertility, a Radiant Pregnany, a Sweeter Birth, and a Healthier, More Beautiful Beginning. In it, she calls vaccines shots of “aluminum and formaldehyde” and suggested that tampons cause infertility. She felt so strongly about her anti-vax stance that she endorsed (and provided literal campaign cheese for) Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been a consistent amplifier of vaccine misinformation.

But apparently those fears about putting foreign substances in her body did not stop her from eating unknown fruit from the street.

I understand why building a society based on respect, wisdom, justice and reason is problematic for right-wingers, but why doesn’t the person complaining about that see it as a problem with the right?

Mayoral candidate vows to let VIC, an AI bot, run Wyoming’s capital city

Victor Miller has skirted attempts by OpenAI and the state to shut down his campaign, believed to be the first U.S. effort of its kind.

Mayoral candidate Victor Miller, a bespectacled librarian with an AI obsession, stood between an American flag and a Wyoming flag, preaching what he sees as the untapped potential of artificial intelligence in government.

AI would be objective. It wouldn’t make mistakes. It would read hundreds of pages of municipal minutiae quickly and understand them. It would, he said, be good for democracy.

Miller made this pitch at a county library in Wyoming’s capital on a recent summer Friday, with a few friends and family filling otherwise empty rows of chairs. Before the sparse audience, he vowed to run the city of Cheyenne exclusively with an AI bot he calls “VIC” for “Virtual Integrated Citizen.”
