I mean, they are very funny. But why is an AI company airing Super Bowl commercials making fun of AI?

Let’s be clear. It wasn’t strategic. It wasn’t a distraction. He’s just super racist. And kinda demented.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Now, time to give four or five congressional Republicans the gift of spending more time with their families.

Star Tribune: 8 more federal prosecutors leaving Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office Eight more federal prosecutors in Minnesota are "in the process of leaving" the U.S. Attorney's Office, according to reporting from the Star Tribune.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time
