I'm at the prison facility in Florence where death row inmate Leroy McGill is scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m. McGill was convicted of murder after he poured a sticky, napalm-like substance on a couple who accused him of stealing a shotgun in 2002. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

Senior editor of major media property: “I asked Claude”
I asked Claude AI to compare the Hasan Piker audience to the cringe wine moms at MSNOW. "[O]n a normal night, MS NOW's primetime audience of roughly 900,000 is about 25 times larger than Piker's typical concurrent stream of 36,000."
