Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence? Maybe not as we’ve known them. But, in the ruins of the old curriculum, something vital is stirring.

I just recently reread Gibson's @greatdismal.bsky.social 30 year old Sprawl Trilogy and today there's a great piece in the New Yorker. A must read! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... "to be human is not to have answers. It is to have questions...The machines can’t do that for us. Not now, not ever."

"In 2013 Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option to lower the 60-vote threshold to 51 for approval of Executive Branch appointees (such as Cabinet secretaries) and federal judges below the Supreme Court (such as for U.S. Courts of Appeal)."

COMPANIES THAT DONATED TO TRUMP AND PROJECT 2025 Democrats Abroad strives to provide Americans abroad a Democratic voice in our government and elect Democratic candidates by mobilizing the overseas vote.

The source seems to be this: www.democratsabroad.org/companies_th...
But I'm not sure if you can consider it accurate. I googled Geico Political Donations and most sites I find that list this info shows Gecio contributed pretty equally to both Dems and Repubs, as many companies do.

Reminder to those who need it:

1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here

2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm

3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

Pop Tarts. for some reason all the corner markets in Greece carried Pop Tarts, though for like $10 a box. But if they dont scream "merica" i dont know what does.

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.

But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

I wonder how long it will be until the non-AI created content will seem like how black and white seemed to people when color came along in movies/tv. human made stuff will all be "art house" when all other media is AI created.
