Why is every pro-AI post an open threat? When the internet got made they said i could use the computer to send mail, not like "use AOL or we'll murder you"??

When I read something like this, I imagine pitching it as a freelancer: "It's a commentary on John Tory. We are good friends, and I'm going to discuss his legacy and his thoughts, but I won't quote him at all. Two consecutive paragraphs will start with 'For me...'. Do I get the gig?"

Here's a factoid I just learned....

The trucks aren't equipped for one way streets...

Where houses are on both sides of the street.

I find digital menus the single most accessible example of an upgrade implemented poorly because the point of the solution was forgotten and supplanted with something else completely unrelated to the original need.

Yesterday in Tim Hortons, every single digital menu changed at once to advertise the current roll up the rim promotion. Sales paused while customers in line waited to see the menu again.

The "I'll order the uh... where'd it go?" reaction from the elder gentleman at the counter was illustrative.

If terrorists want to finish off the experiment that is the USA, just bomb Mar-a-Lago while Trump isn't there.

His reaction would be so unhinged and so self-destructive, the USA would cease to exist as a functioning state within 12 weeks.

She might be Mark Carney's boss soon. I imagine "the golden dome" will fall under her command.

Wait. "Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas?"

Noem is going international?

This is worse.

I was in a meeting while the news broke about Kristi Noem’s firing, and I get the feeling that I’m learning about it long after everyone else but somehow still before her.

Trump is incapable of being calm and coherent. His reaction to such a disaster would be it's own disaster, and it would compound the overall disaster in ways we can't comprehend.

Could a 9/11-Scale Crisis Be the Political Lifeline Trump’s Presidency Desperately Needs? History shows how suddenly national tragedy can transform a struggling leader into a wartime commander, and why that precedent should make Americans uneasy today…

Oh FFS. Trump is no Bush. That's how bad he is, George War Criminal Bush would be an improvement.
