If only we could apply the 14th Amendment, Section 2, to all of Texas in the event of this happening.

Unfortunately, the enforcement depends on a majority in Congress, a huge bug for democracy.

Flo accidently leaked private data by using SDKs from Meta and Google, who both have ad networks and might have used the leaked data to optimize ads.

This is disgusting on so many fronts.

GitHub - jDavidnet/AI-Tax-Revenue-Tax: A plan to tax AI, Automation, Outsourcing at the state level and then national level with a Corporate Revenue Tax A plan to tax AI, Automation, Outsourcing at the state level and then national level with a Corporate Revenue Tax - jDavidnet/AI-Tax-Revenue-Tax

I created a draft plan to Tax AI.

No need to make it complicated, Tax ALL REVENUE, then REBATE for LOCAL WAGES PAID. This will tax non-labor revenue more than labor Revenue

If you want to help, visit GitHub, comment, raise issues, or submit a patch.

If the truth is that the shows numbers and revenue didn’t work β€” it’s probably in large part to the outdated streaming, advertising, and contracts governing the show’s distribution.

I hope the show or parts of the show find a better distribution partner.

Colbert's 'Late Show' Generated $60 Million in Streaming Revenue Since 2021, Less Than Kimmel, Fallon and Meyers | Charts Parrot Analytics data finds "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" leading the late-night pack in streaming revenue

While this issue is being spun by everyone, as a fan & subscriber to Paramount+

It was near impossible to watch the Late Show / Colbert on Paramount+.

You couldn’t watch it live, you could only watch it after it aired & only a few episodes, even YouTube was hard

8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka.
That’s so huge.

Our hearts go out to Kamchatka, and those within tsunami range.

SF is on tsunami watch, we might feel it by 12:20am.

Ozzy Osbourne, frontman of 1970s heavy metal band Black Sabbath, earned his infamy biting the head off a bat on stage and pursuing a drug-fueled lifestyle before reinventing himself as a lovable if often foul-mouthed reality TV star reut.rs/45gCarB

May his memory be a blessing.

I try to remind myself that, although there are bad actors, a significant part of the problem has been our underfunded education system for decades. This has allowed a democratic public to be misled by these bad actors.

When my kids are done with school, I pledge to support public education.

Every food we eat has mRNA in it.

More people need to know mRNA is just part of being a living organism.

Trying to avoid it would be like trying to use a computer without electricity or software.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Today, a DOJ lawyer confirmed that the U.S. plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia if he’s released from pre-trial criminal detention.

The lawyer said the government won’t wait until Abrego faces trial.

Less than two weeks ago, a White House deputy press secretary decried that as β€œfake news.”

California should tax AI and cover the gap this bill creates for Californians.

We can tax corp revenue and rebate local wages, as a way to tax AI and promote wages and labor.
