My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.

And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

I love them too! But I canโ€™t really use the ones I made until the upholsterer finishes the leather cushions. 2-3 months :(

They are pretty to look at though.

I used Jeff Jewitt's finishing process. Color combo is similar to Stickley's Onondaga finish.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, Iโ€™ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of govโ€™t & divvied up the power the people (thatโ€™s us) were allowing the govโ€™t to use to create order for all of us.

On how A.I. can transform media consumption:
Reading the A.I. summary โ€” I think it can be useful. I think it has a powerfully inoculating effect. Like, I think long-form, lots-of-episodes TV is a waste of time. But itโ€™s very tempting, right? You watch an episode and youโ€™re like, โ€œOh, geez, I really want to know what happens here.โ€
And so I discovered a couple of years ago, obviously, that the solution is you immediately go to Wikipedia and read the entire summary of the season, and then youโ€™re cured of the desire to watch any more episodes. So there is a therapeutic benefit to A.I. summaries.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War wonโ€™t cost a lot of money
3) We wonโ€™t need a lot of troops
4) Weโ€™ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) Weโ€™ll find WMDs
6) Weโ€™ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It wonโ€™t take long

All lies.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.
