Josef Goebbels and Stephen Miller have a lot in common.

AI has been fed every important document from mankind’s history and every math problem. And yet, it can’t write a decent freshman-level college paper, much less take over the world or explain any of life’s mysteries.

Unless you have the misfortune of sitting right up close to that screen, in which case everyone looks like a big triangle.

Going to the movies equates to sitting in somebody else’s (very dirty) living room. I don’t get the appeal, either.

Hey Brian! If they are all using it, it has to be official β€˜unofficial’ policy, don’t you think? For the same reason that gangsters don’t write anything down…

Word salad. Apparently it’s better for us than fluoride.

I grew up in Florida, where we didn’t have fluoridated water (70s and 80s). We swished with straight fluoride every Friday at school so our teeth wouldn’t fall out, and guess what β€” that worked! Also, I have a master’s degree, two normal children and a brain that wasn’t eaten by a worm. πŸ˜€ #gfyrfk

In my 2020 NC Senate race, the party gave quite a bit of oxygen to two candidates who were female, but weren’t legitimate Democrats and had zero applicable experience. There’s got to be a balance somewhere.

If all primary challengers were experienced, legitimate candidates, you’d be right and I would agree with you. Unfortunately, they aren’t and it’s nearly impossible to raise money β€˜until the dust settles.’

I'm rewatching Andor, which I believe to be the best Star Wars artwork ever made, and I strongly suggest you consider (re)watching it as well. It is relevant to our moment in too many ways to countβ€”not just all the obvious ones, and not just with respect to the protagonists but the antagonists also.

Massive cuts at National Weather Service spark fears about forecast quality, public safety β€” Los Angeles Times Mass firings at the National Weather Service have started to affect local offices across the nation, with some locations limiting operations. And it could just be the beginning with further budget cut...

The US government has the ability to protect its citizens from damaging storms, floods, and hurricanes, but instead chooses to spend that money padding billionaire’s bank accounts. Got it?

We are deliberately being flooded with noise and outrage. You have to wonder what will be the tipping point.

Yeah, Friedman is the infamous "Suck. On. This." guy, who used that as the United States’ rationale for invading Iraq. He’s an idiot.
