This is the exact inverse of Trump's "I alone" strict-father BS, which is powerfully coded in American brains. And verily, this is how we win.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

This is what unity looks like.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

it is amazing how many of these guys love to make tough boastful statements then at the slightest sign of pushback back away like little bitches

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

Another for the “single chords that make all the difference” file: the bright bVI in this Michael Jackson chorus—appropriately enough, under the “light” in “sunlight.” It’s a little jolt that makes the whole thing wake up, like a second wind. #dailysong youtu.be/5X-Mrc2l1d0

Do all those hustle culture guys whose schedule is like…

Wake up at 4am.
Eat a tiny meal.
Exercise for 15 minutes.
Tiny snack.
10 minute nap.
Splash around in a bowl of water.
Get dressed in practical clothes already laid out.

…realize that’s the same agenda as a literal baby?

Kamala Harris was right about everything just like Hillary Clinton was and I’m proud AF to have voted for both of them, my conscience is clear because I chose experienced qualified leadership instead of trashy chaos and daily catastrophe.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
