[deep sigh]

I legitimately wonder where the senior managers pushing LLM tools get the notion that they will save time. Personal experience says it's the equivalent of double checking the work of a particularly incompetent work-study student.

Such is management disconnect from the work being done.

I know that sounds paranoid, but it's a fascist regime. we all need to be a little paranoid.

I am with Noah on this point: block Vance and any other high level republican politician on sight.

This isn't like a normal right wing troll setting up shop: this is someone with the powers of the government behind him. Death threats are the LEAST of our concerns here.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

I guess.
The way I look at it, there is a ton of green space on the Iowa side where we can show our numbers -- a good photo op from the bridge.

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

Omaha has its own ICE raids to protest. This is 33rd and L today. "Chinga la migra" was the most popular chant.

Correction: The truck behind the cattle truck was misting the protesters lined up on L Street. So Nebraska Nice. It was 90 degrees.

LOTS of cattle are gaining a few extra minutes of life in South Omaha. These cows had to eat some burning rubber, sadly.

Texas Runoff Results Prove The Tide Is Turning The far right lost the plot and the vote.

"Across Texas, voters rejected the book banners, the billionaires, and the bullies. They shut the door on culture war candidates and told the MAGA machine. Not in our city, not in our schools, not anymore."

The NYPD not only hated Kerik because he wasn’t real police, they hated him because it was common knowledge he was crooked. It was right he went to jail. He should’ve been there longer.
