today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

 the healthiest thing you could do in the social media era is acknowledge that not everything is an argument to be rebutted, say no and keep that shit moving

This is a bizarre inversion of the “no wishing for more wishes” rule.

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

It's #superbowl Sunday! Whether you're rooting for the #patriots or the #seahawks, we're all about to be swamped with ads for #ai. so I thought it might be helpful to point out that a #chatbot really can't produce anything worth a damn.

If I were Denmark I would simply agree to sell Greenland to Trump, take his money, then put up a sign that says:

And have it point to a tunnel which I have cleverly painted onto a wall.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
