Beautiful.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

CoPilot interrupting my web-wandering with this corker:

"If you’d like, I can create an original, Heaney-inspired poem that captures the same spirit of hope meeting history. Would you like me to do that?"

I cannot think of anything that I would like you do less.

All you need to know, really

This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.

Getting a head start on the day:

I just wrote a column about rich people being accorded the presumption that they’re smart when they’re really dumb and it is publishing tomorrow but …she just skeeted it out.

I can actually read for the article now!

I love when the movie riffs itself.

It's a great line.

How dare we demand the purported "law enforcement agency" follow the Constitution of the United States. The nerve.

Roses are red,
Violets are utile,
Give in to temptation,
Resistance is futile

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Thread.

Right? That one makes sense in color too.

Oh, right, the movie version was stuck in my head. (I have a copy of the book somewhere, but it's been decades.)

Right. Expand to just stores, I guess She Loves Me would count.

I have several friends today that I met from 1984-1988, all still close.

Now that I think about it, are that and Evening Primrose the only musicals set in department stores?

I know, but I also have paperwork that may complicate getting a passport (which is another reason why I have not).

Does the score of One Touch of Venus count, being set in a department store?

so life-saving aid that Russ Vought has cut from poor children, causing many to die, is being used instead to protect the life of Russ Vought - the white Christian nationalist fanatic whose objective is traumatizing other people

Again, people who crow about how AI is going to replace most jobs while not aggressively advocating for some sort of relief for the displaced workers are making a very clear statement by omission.

Truly.

I listen to imaginary people for my job, but I'm a writer, I write fiction.

That said, I'd figure out how to get one if need be.

Fair enough, but I'm a deep blue dot in Indiana, but I still don't have a passport and couldn't afford to go anywhere I'd need one.

This is why Democrats should be fighting to abolish ICE, Chuck.

I didn't know I needed this a few minutes ago, but I think I need this.
