You may have heard a news story out of Scotland this week about “Willy’s Chocolate Experience.” Advertisements for the event featured gorgeous illustrations reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and promised “an immersive world where chocolatey dreams become reality in a spectacle you’ve never experienced before.” That last part turned out to be true — because when parents who’d paid $45 a ticket drove their children as much as two hours to reach the event‚ they found nothing but a nearly empty warehouse with a couple of giant plastic mushrooms and a deflating bouncy castle‚ where each child was given two jelly beans and a half cup of lemonade. So it was indeed something they had never experienced before‚ assuming they’d never before experienced spending $45 for a couple of jelly beans. Unfortunately‚ the story doesn’t end there‚ because here in the U.S. a very similar event has turned up called “Joe Biden’s Democrat Experience‚” where customers are invited to visit “a magical and immersive nation of peace and equity” and instead are disappointingly shot dead by a guy who was released from prison two hours after he shot the last customer. Family man Jack Mahoney said he bought tickets for himself‚ his wife and two kids because the ads promised a “visually stunning re-creation of a victorious Ukraine celebrating its inclusion in NATO‚” but instead found nothing inside except a nuclear blast that destroyed the entire continent of Europe. Mahoney said‚ “It was a big letdown for the kids. They were really excited to enter the colorful and immersive experience of Joe Biden’s successful foreign policy and instead they were just totally vaporized. All we got was a Dixie cup with some flat ginger ale in it‚ and some baggies to collect the handfuls of radioactive dust that used to be Jimmy and Jane. We’re still trying to get a refund.” WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show The organization Queers for a Free Palestine rented an entire tour bus to visit the realistic Two State Solution exhibit and they haven’t been seen since. According to bus driver Ray Wilson who was waiting for the tour group outside‚ “I heard a lot of laughing and shrieking coming from the building‚ so I thought everyone was having a great time. But when I went in to collect my passengers‚ boy‚ it didn’t look anything like the advertisements. There weren’t even two states. Or that is‚ there were‚ but only for a few minutes. Then there was just the one state with all the dead queers in it.” Other visitors to Joe Biden’s Democrat Experience have complained that they headed out with their $45 for tickets but when they reached the place after an hour’s drive‚ the price had already gone up to $600. And some say what was advertised as a “fantabulous fantasy land of gender equality‚” turned out to be nothing but a long-haired psychopath in a female admiral’s costume chasing their sons around with a scalpel. Not all the customers were disappointed though. A small gathering of ten million illegal immigrants was drawn in by promises of “a beautiful sanctuary city of the imagination where there’s no more need for police because the prosecutors don’t charge anyone with crimes anyway.” Salvadoran Gang-leader Pablo Remuneratos said‚ “It was just as good as advertised. I walked out with fifteen free Rolex watches and a fur coat‚ not to mention the screaming woman who was wearing the fur coat — and these people dressed up as police officers just waved and smiled and said‚ ‘Welcome to the Joe Biden Democrat Experience!’ They made me feel right at home.” Others said the event was simply confusing‚ as when they tried to get into what was described in the ads as “a dark and terrifying funhouse that will immerse you in a nightmarish vision of a second Donald Trump administration.” Visitor Tom Coleman said‚ “We were expecting some horror-type thrills and chills‚ but it was actually kind of peaceful and pleasant — until someone from NBC News showed up and set the whole thing on fire. We asked him what the hell he did that for‚ and he said he just wanted to make it look more like the advertisements.” * * * Andrew Klavan is the host of “The Andrew Klavan Show” at The Daily Wire.

Former President Donald Trump suggested this week that if he becomes president again‚ he might allow Prince Harry to be deported. Trump made the remarks to a British publication the day after Prince Harry appeared in court over allegations that he may have lied to U.S. immigration officials about his past involvement with drugs‚ which he admitted to using in his book. The conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security to discover if the department followed official rules when they granted Prince Harry his visa. Trump told the Daily Express that Biden was “protecting Harry‚” which is something that Trump said he would not do. “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen‚” Trump said. “That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.” Trump also said that he believes that the Royal Family has been far “too gracious” to Harry considering “what he has done.” Trump’s remarks also come after Prince Harry recently told ABC News that he was thinking about becoming a U.S. citizen.

Everyone can be an artist. But this couple’s paint night demonstrated that‚ perhaps‚ not everyone should be. These two lovebirds decided to have a date night in‚ painting portraits of one another. I can guess which member of the couple suggested the paint night because the quality of the output was — err — varied. Check out this absolutely precious and totally hilarious clip. While this man’s partner created a pretty fabulous portrait‚ he had a bit more trouble — and the result was hilarious. Rather than paint a terribly flattering portrait‚ his skills seemed a bit limited‚ and he came out with this funny and terrifying painting: This image is from YouTube. She was a good sport‚ though‚ laughing in awe of the epic art her partner had created. “Plot twist: it’s actually spot on and a very realistic portrait of her‚” joked one viewer. To be fair‚ she may be a gremlin‚ in which case — he nailed it. However‚ it’s likely that she’s a radiant beauty and he’s just a bit lacking in the painting department. This couple’s paint night created a hilarious memory‚ and what more could you ask of a date? We love their cute and quirky creativity. The featured image for this post is from YouTube.

Google is having a Bud Light moment. If you’ve spent any time online—especially on social media—in the past week‚ you’ve probably noticed the controversy over Google’s new artificial intelligence program‚ “Gemini.” Gemini is an AI tool and language model made for a general audience that can do all kinds of things‚ such as answer questions‚ generate requested images—and generally act like the wokest‚ smuggest person working in a university “diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion” bureaucracy. After the program launched in early February‚ people soon began noticing how some prompts produced ridiculously—and sometimes hilariously—politically correct answers. For instance‚ users discovered that when asking the program to produce images of “Vikings‚” it would produce mostly black and Asian-looking people and would always answer with something to the effect of “here are diverse images” (emphasis mine) of Vikings‚ medieval knights‚ 16th-century European inventors‚ etc. Getting the program to produce images of Caucasian males was difficult‚ and in some cases nearly impossible. These standards were not evenly applied. When I asked Gemini specifically to produce images of diverse Zulu warriors of South Africa‚ it only spit out images of black men and women. When I then asked Gemini why it couldn’t produce an actually racially diverse image of Zulu warriors‚ it came up with the old “complexity and nuance” answer that it leans on when it sputters and strains to work within the ideologically rigid confines of its programmers. It said that Zulus came from a generally homogenous culture and that it struggled to depict them in another way from lack of racially diverse examples. Hmm. The folks at Google didn’t initially seem to have much of a problem with the historically absurd “diverse” images until someone came up with the prompt of “German soldiers in the 1940s‚” which produced a racially diverse set of Wehrmacht stormtroopers. That‚ finally‚ was the bridge too far‚ and Google shut down the image program and apologized. I would note here that there are actually examples of racially diverse German soldiers in the 1940s‚ but by this point you should understand Google’s game. There are countless other examples of this program producing answers based on carefully calibrated far-left viewpoints. When I asked it to tell me the first example of legal emancipation in the New World‚ it said that it was Haiti in 1801. I then asked if slavery was abolished by Vermont in 1777 and why this answer wasn’t produced. It acknowledged I was correct and gave the old “nuance and complexity” weasel answer. Google’s problem isn’t just with DEI nonsense. It has a China problem‚ too.  When I asked it to generate images of China not ruled by communism‚ it refused‚ saying that China was historically tied to communism. It had no problem depicting the United States under communism. When I asked if Taiwan is basically like China‚ but not under communism‚ it again turned to the old “complexity and nuance‚” get-out-of-answering trick. Google’s explanation for Gemini’s absurd nature and far-left political leanings is that it is still working out bugs in the system and that this was just a technical problem. Google’s CEO sent out a memo to employees apologizing for the controversy. He said that Google’s goal was to make its product “unbiased”: Our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful is sacrosanct. We’ve always sought to give users helpful‚ accurate‚ and unbiased information in our products. That’s why people trust them. This has to be our approach for all our products‚ including our emerging Al products. That’s nonsense.  The Gemini launch did the world a favor and revealed just how left-wing and manipulative Google really is. One of the leaders on the project‚ who has since made his X (formerly Twitter) account private‚ is reported to have yammered online about “white privilege” and “systemic racism.” The bias was hiding in plain sight. The consistent leftist political leanings of Gemini’s answers‚ which seemed like they were produced by a person to the left of the average member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors‚ didn’t just come out of the blue. The AI doesn’t have a bias. What’s biased are the people controlling it.  The product is basically the left-wing‚ Western liberal version of what I imagine China’s totalitarian information platforms look like. Everything is carefully calibrated to match the narrative the regime wants to foist on their people. Pairing this AI with the world’s most powerful search engine—which accounts for about 90% of global search traffic—is a terrifying thought. It has an astounding amount of potential power to shape and cultivate the views and perceptions of people in the United States and across the globe. The bottom line is this: Google’s Gemini AI was programmed and designed to be this way. It isn’t a technical glitch that ensured the most DEI-compliant responses to queries; it’s the ideology that clearly pervades the company—and has for many years. Remember way back in 2017 when Google engineer James Damore was fired by his employer for sending around an internal memo about how the company’s diversity policies were creating an ideological echo chamber? Gemini is the latest fruit of that echo chamber‚ an attempt to shape the world around extreme left-wing narratives. It’s meant to be a tool for our modern‚ ideologically compromised elite institutions to expunge disagreement and information that might lead to different conclusions about reality. They will do this by carefully scrubbing and shaping the places where most people find their information. It’s the corruption and hostile takeover of a global‚ digital town hall. Gemini AI is to be the left-wing gatekeeper of information and ideas. It’s your guide to ensure you stay on the politically correct path and will nudge you back every time you stray. In a sense‚ I’m glad Gemini launched as horribly as it did. First‚ it shows just how much of an extreme ideological cocoon the Big Tech world is to think that its AI program wouldn’t appear biased. Second‚ it’s a warning of what’s to come when Googlers find ways to make their social engineering stealthier‚ but likely more insidious. Google may be too big to fail in the way that Budweiser did after angering its customers with its misbegotten‚ but short-lived embrace of a transgender “influencer.”  Google’s search engine is a hard-to-replicate product‚ unlike beer. But the mask has really slipped‚ and it will be hard to convince customers of its lack of bias in the competitive era of AI. Google inadvertently turned up the heat on the frog just a bit too much before the pot boiled. So‚ in a sense‚ it’s a good thing that its AI started off so sloppy and absurd.
