Hey all you Lurie voters in SF…you think your millionaire mayor is going to side with the people of the city or with the tech billionaires like Benioff and Altman?

Hope your vote was worth it.

Steph Curry’s S.F. bourbon bar with Michael Mina is here The Union Square openings of the Eighth Rule and Bourbon Steak mark a comeback for the celebrity chef.

But at least he opened up a bourbon and steak restaurant for a "glitzy Union Square launch."

"Every single day we’re going to be relentless in bringing tourism, and conventions and business back..." Lurie said at a press conference outside the hotel.

Man of the people, eh?

Still hard for me to believe that the administration, with a straight face, does not see the irony in going after an organization calling themselves "anti-fascists."

I used to think the future was gonna look like stepping out of your flying car and being greeted by your robot butler but it turns out it's just gonna look like an AI cancelling your digital money because you tried to join a union.

Leavitt admitting the federal cuts are about the money.

"There is no more money."

Trump has called it an "opportunity."

Leavitt calls Trump's memes of firing federal workers as "a little bit of fun."

Not sure who Mary is in the press briefing today but she nailed it. Thank you.

I think why people are so upset and annoyed by the Riyadh comedy festival and these American comedians - β€œfree speech warriors” - like Chapelle and Burr is …

it wholly betrays how, by free speech, they themselves got so successful and famous.

People are eventually going to forget how to mourn because nothing is ever going to die.

I fear that can't be good.

You know this place is broken when the president is stating he wants war with blue states, Musk's worth hit $500B, the government is shut down and its debt is never ending, credit is exploding, people can't eat, jobs aren't being created, 750k fed cuts but, no worries...the markets hit new highs.

We are dipping our toes into the illusion of eternal digital substance masked as innocent entertainment and connection.

They want to exploit that spark of sharing with no expectation of something in return.

Do not let them. Do not let them see you. Do not let them take what we still have.

Meta greenlights Facebook, Instagram ads based on your AI chats Meta will show ads and other content to users based on their interactions with the Meta AI digital assistant and other generative artificial intelligence tools.

But they told us super intelligence was going to be my best friend and solve all the world’s problems?

Why?

To be the psychological and metaphysical infrastructure of the future of humanity.
