Dennis Rodman headed to Russia to seek the release of Brittney Griner

The former NBA star and occasional diplomat, Dennis Rodman, said he has plans to go to Russia to advocate for Griner, the WNBA star given a 9-year sentence for drug possession last winter.

The Biden Administration has advised against Dennis Rodman’s planned trip, commenting that these efforts by Dennis Rodman would most likely be futile or even hinder talks the US government is having with the Russian government over Griner’s release.

Text-to-Image AI

Popular on pretty much every social media platform, text-to-image AI takes a phrase or name prompt and generates an image based on it. People have been using it for song lyrics, dates from the past or future, and even funny celebrity situations.

Oddly enough the comedian, John Oliver, seems to have been a subject for many of these funny AI images, even turning into a story shared by thousands with different images they generated. Oliver egged it on further on his show Sunday night and it only blew up more. Check out some examples below!
