2025 summarized by ChatGPT using words banned by Trump

ChatGPT recapped 2025 using words Trump tried to ban from U.S. government documents. Edited by a human with links to real news.

Visiting home for the holidays, fully jet lagged and unable to sleep, I couldn’t think of a better way to summarize 2025 than to ask ChatGPT to write a journalistic-looking article for me recapping the year.

The key? To add as many word as possible from a long list of so-called “woke” terms that U.S. President Donald J. Trump aimed to purge from U.S. federal government documents earlier this year.

Aleida Guevara, hija del Che Guevara, en la defensa de Cuba

¿Qué hace Aleida Guevara, pediatra y líder de la revolución cubana además de la mayor de los cuatro hijos del ícono político Ernesto Che Guevara, en una pequeña ciudad de Canadá?

Guevara ha sido una de las invitadas de la organización Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC) – que lucha, desde Canadá, por la defensa de la revolución cubana – para unas conferencias que anualmente celebran entorno a la figura del Che.

El viernes, sábado y domingo se celebraron en Vancouver y ayer, lunes 5 de noviembre, viajaron hasta una de las aulas de la universidad Thompson Rivers University (TRU), en una pequeña ciudad de la que posiblemente no habéis oído hablar antes: Kamloops.

Además del superficial atractivo de conocer a la hija de uno de los iconos del siglo XX, la conferencia, bajo el título de Cuba’s Economic Reforms: Capitalism or Socialism?, buscaba exponer y debatir el modelo socioeconómico socialista en Cuba frente al capitalismo imperante en el primer mundo.
