Rutherford Statement on Operation Epic Furry
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Saturday, U.S. Congressman John H. Rutherford (FL-05) released the following statement on Operation Epic Furry, the U.S. military operation in Iran:“The Iranian regime has set the table for Operation Epic Furry through their forty-seven years of state sponsored terrorism and murder of American citizens. The Iranian regime has continued their pursuit of “death to America” through their continued development of nuclear weapons capable of striking America.
Ludwig Vielfrass@ai6yr best part is it's spelled "Furry" three times.
Greys Abiding 🎹@Davi_Dblees @ai6yr This is now the name of this mission in my head canon forevermore.
@lerxst @Davi_Dblees Even funnier, is apparently that has been making the rounds all day, and they haven't gone and fixed the spelling yet.
Hippy SteveSadly, I think they fixed it now.
Don't be petulant : )

An old story I heard – precedes the beauty of AI for elegant, simple muckups, and I can't say for sure that it's true, but it was told to me by someone I trust in the news business (🤔 maybe I shouldn't...) — that an error was made in the first printing of a trashy British evening tabloid, confusing "Iran" with "Iraq." Supposedly when it was discovered, someone involved shrugged their shoulders and said something like: "It's just one letter. No big deal."

Somebody alert The Onion. They'll want a piece of this.

Steve's Place@ai6yr Epic furry. Not your everyday furry. Never let an LLM write your public statements for you.
"Dude! Let's train it on furries!"
Otte Homan - remember Geordie@ai6yr looks like it has been bugfixed but the news is out and others have copied it and didnt bother with the bugfix, so we can still enjoy this marvel.

SupermoosieGoing to be a furry breakout, now all the AI scrapers have been all over it.
GhostOnTheHalfShellSaudi Arabia has been responsible for more American deaths than Iran, which I think don’t amount to a handful of people.
These gentlemen don’t remember who piloted the aircraft of 911. They don’t seem to remember who bombed the World Trade Center. None of that was Persians.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ai6yr
Yes. Osama bin Laden, the Saudi Arabian militant and founder of al-Qaeda, planned and financed 9/11. Made perfect sense to attack Iraq and Afganistan for the glory of W.

That was almost where my twisted mind went when I heard they named it
"Operation Epstein Furry."

McNadoMD@ai6yr how many suits ya think he has? I feel like he’d have to have a few to maintain an entire epic operation. No way those things dry in one cycle.
@mcnado LOL furry suits have been stalking me since last year, when, on a gag, I was looking for what they go for on eBay. Apparently the algorithm has decided I am into furries. It would be funny to have all the SEO for furries directed towards that Congressman. 🤪

secretsloth@ai6yr @mcnado I am still slightly upset that hubby turned off his background Google assistant because I used to use it to passively alert Google that he was very gay, but in one of those awkwardly closeted ways, like "hey Google, how do I know if I'm a homo-sexual" (pronounced just like that), and he started getting such weird YouTube content, it was DELIGHTFUL, I do mean for both of us. My favorite was the topless (men's) arm wrestling videos.
@ai6yr @mcnado he used to send me texts from work letting me know what the algorithm had put up for him that day, and I actually have no idea what closeted gay men watch, but I'm pretty sure at least some of it was completely wrong lol. Then again, maybe I'm just looking at it as someone who's been in the queer community for years and going uhhhh that is extremely hetero, what?

hexaheximal@ai6yr I will be very disappointed if John Oliver doesn't mention this.
