We are estimated to be within 2-3 years of Artificial General Intelligence and the so-called leader of the free world can’t discern basic, obvious photoshopping from a real image.

At the risk of stating the obvious, this isn’t good.

S&P 500 since 🍊 took office. Are we great again yet?

S&P 500 futures (/ES) after hours. Tomorrow will likely be a bloodbath.

“I will turn your face to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master” - Police

Trump brings out the widow of a murdered police officer saying he won’t stand for it and will restore law and order. Same guy who pardoned the Jan 20 criminals who attacked police officers.

The Republican Party is the Olympics of sycophants.

I keep coming back to the insane reality that Bernie Sanders was a bridge too far for the USA, yet somehow the current guy was not a problem.

Checkout lady: “Printed or emailed receipt, Sir?”

Me (internal): “It’s been February for 17 years, I’m perpetually single, broke & unemployed, we’re spiraling into fascist end-times, & I’ve gained 11 pounds; I’m good either way, thanks!”

Me (external): “I don’t need a receipt, thank you.”

Buffet is reportedly 100% out of $SPY. Make of that information what you will.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

Call me crazy & “anti free speech,” but if a bunch of monosyllabic bozos march down the street waving the flag of an authoritarian enemy that millions of our own lost their lives to squash, I think said bozos should face some legal consequences.

Failing that, a broken nose might be in order.

Every night the mainstream US news networks report a new environmental disaster: fires, floods, hurricanes, etc.

They treat each one as though it was an independent event.

None of them ever connect the dots and mention climate change.

They don’t even use the words “climate change.”

When Trump 1.0 happened I was very disappointed in the whippersnappers that they did not immediately form seething punk bands

Whippersnappers: do NOT let me down again. The time for punk bands is NOW.

I am old and decrepit, you can’t expect me to do it.

Those who say “We need to run the government like a business” unintentionally demonstrate their ignorance as to the purpose of gvmt.

A gvmt is not a business.

A business exists to generate profit.

A gvmt exists to serve the public good, ensuring the well-being, rights, & needs of its citizens.

This. 100%.

Enjoyed seeing the Led Zeppelin doc in IMAX (sounded great!) but they sure left out a lot. The word “drugs” was only said once! A bottle of Jack Daniels never appears. How and why Bonham died is not mentioned. Crowley doesn’t come up. No tales of misusing fish in hotel rooms are shared.

We have handed the keys to the kingdom to those who mean to destroy it.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social must be protected at all costs. I’d love to see her & @aoc.bsky.social on a future ticket for POTUS/VPOTUS. I don’t care who is in which role. I hope you are secretly meeting, drinking wine, & planning the future of 🇺🇸 together. Save us! #powertothepeople

You share 50% of your genes with celery. So don’t go thinking you’re such a big deal or whatever. You’re just a few DNA strands away from being one of the more boring vegetables. PS: you also share 80% of your genes with squirrels which, admittedly, *is* quite cool. But don’t let it go to your head.

I don’t know about you but I’m starting to consider the idea that making a convicted felon, confirmed sexual predator, compulsive liar, and ignoramus POTUS might not have been a great move.

I mean, no one could have guessed that this wouldn’t go well, obviously.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

I just smashed my toe into my coffee table.

I can’t prove anything but I’m
Pretty sure DEI and Obama are to blame.

Dear @nytimes.com, fixed it for you:

Without Evidence, Trump Claims DEI Caused Crash Under His Watch.

Trump Uses Plane Crash Tragedy To Further Anti-DEI Agenda Via Misinformation.

Well, it’s been a long first year but at least we only have three years left of this administration.

What’s that? It’s only been a week? Oh.

Only a Handful of Republicans in Congress Object to Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardons Even Republicans who once said violent rioters should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law declined to criticize the presidential clemency for violent offenders, saying it was time to move o...

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923.

Morgan Stanley et al are dumping $3b of X-related debt at .90 cents on the dollar and over a million Teslas are being recalled in China. Something is rotten in the state of Musk’s reich.

There is an inverse correlation btwn the ever-increasing amount of available content on streaming platforms and the ever-dwindling amount I actually want to watch.

A huge % of the time I spend watching streaming (I haven’t had cable TV for well over a decade) is spent on YouTube, learning stuff.
