Imagine looking like this and having the sheer audacity to tell ANYONE AT ALL that they look tired.

If you put the DOGE guys on a desert island where the only way out was to say the magic words โ€œIโ€™m not sure what the answer is, let me consult someone who has worked on this problem for a long timeโ€ they would all starve to death

When I was a kid, anytime you asked my grandmother where we were going, her response was โ€œto hell if weโ€™re not carefulโ€ and I think that really shaped me as a person. Not towards any kind of religion or anything, but just in answering questions with unrelated warnings.

Auto-complete: real, can't hurt you
Super-intelligence: not real, can't hurt you
Layoffs: real, can hurt you
LinkedIn: not real, can hurt you.

AI is a marketing term; before we discuss "AI is fake" vs "AI is real" we need to unfold what we *mean* by AI.

For example, "artificial general intelligence" is fake and can't hurt you. Layoffs excused by "AI efficiency" are real and can hurt you.

Linkedin discourse is fake - but it CAN hurt you.

Love it! I'm rehabbing a Murphy bag currently. I love the patina usually but her hardware was really rough.

Of all the problems a person might have with the Epstein story, I really don't think โ€œrichโ€ is the actual complaint, you know?

The Texas floods were not a 1000-year event. They werenโ€™t a 500-year event. That area is known for flooding; anyone familiar with it would tell you so. Of all the crazy-making things that come out of this administration, the blatant lies about the weather are up there.

The Texas Floods underscore America's preference for a certain kind of victim. Entire RV parks were swept away, but they're hardly mentioned.

This was painful to read, both because of the stretched-to-breaking metaphor and the remedial writing.
