I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed that

AI songs are topping charts, or that

some that topped the charts don't even sound "better" than human-created songs, or that

some AI songs DO sound better than quite a bit of what is "popular."

Heck, with a few prompts, my AI "creations" could do better:

Quite saddened that I'm hearing news reports about military members leaving the forces to avoid having to comply with illegal order.

Was really hoping to hear more from military members refusing to comply.

Saw an article questioning what kind of assholery Trump might have in store for NYC.

But if there's anything we learned from "Newsies" it's that ya don't mess with Brooklyn.

I am officially *registered* GOP in order to make a difference in my local elections where there isn't often a Democrat on the ballot.

In theory, someone like me could be written in on the PRIMARY ballot against Dan Meusser, Dave McCormick, Chris Gebhard, and/or John Schlegel.

This episode outlines nearly everything I've been doing in my career for the past 15 years (and tried to do in the first 15 but was often chastised for not following "plan A").

It also outlines what *should* be happening to solve government gridlock.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The US military is following Trump’s illegal orders to murder civilians in international waters in the Caribbean. Of course, they will follow orders to murder civilians within the US as well.

If he orders them to kill democrats or β€œantifa”, they’ll do it without hesitation.

Are we going to invade Venezuela?

Why is Mr. Trump blowing up boats?
For the same reason he's doing a lot of things.
His brain is broken and he believes everything Stephen Miller tells him and then acts against the "monsters" Stephen Miller claims are out there.

The only "history of the WHITE House" Mr. Trump wants to preserve is obvious.

This might be a good year to donate food goods to your local food pantry instead of hosting a big Thanksgiving feast.

Dear MAGA supporters.
Many of us would like to know.
What policies of the "Lunatic Leftist Liberals" are a threat to you?
We wonder this because Mr. Trump keeps using the phrase but never explains what he means.

Someone really needs to start asking these folks, point blank, "Doesn't it hurt your soul at least a little to keep lying for Mr. Trump? I mean. Are you feeling OK?"

The challenge of protests against a rising autocracy is that many will not believe there is a threat until the autocrat "officially" coronates themselves.

"No Kings" isn't just against ONE man.
It's about growing a Constitutional Democratic Republic with a BALANCE of Powers and voting that matters.

Dear Congressperson:

If you are not pushing to remove Mr. Trump and Mr Miller from their offices for attempting to start a civil war, you are obviously a RINO - Representative in Name Only and no longer supporting the Constitution or working for your State.

Please, readjust your vision.
