Sometimes I fix things.
Sometimes I shoot arrows at things.
Sometimes I hug people.
Sometimes I kick people.

No I don't think my beat is erratic or disjointed I think every problem is all at its core the same problem and that problem is white supremacist patriarchal capitalism with a side of doomsday death cult
Libs: Leftists are so concerned about racism, poverty, war, incarceration, technology, art, culture, language, health, the environment, animals, and even people EVEN CHILDREN who live in different nations than they do! Must be exhausting and tbh idek how it all fits together!
Leftists: oh we know

I played football for 6 years when I was a kid. Jr. high through HS. I loved every minute of it. Every play, every pass, every tackle, every snap of the ball.
What I hated were the headaches, the dislocated shoulders, the sprained MCL, the coaches who play their own game with us as game pieces.

Yet, Ben Sasse and the @wsj.com seem to think that it is appropriate to double down on sacrificing American boys to the death sentence that is this sport.

A mistake people make is conflating two groups of people and their demands. For example, are there actually Jewish voters who need to be reassured by an Abdul or a Mamdani of a commitment to pluralism? Yes.
Are there also those who actually just want these Muslims to be pro-Israel? Aso yes.

Because the NYT paid journalists to imply that he IS paying influencers even though he is clearly not, I now assume by default that everyone who accuses Mamdani of being corrupt is getting paid to do that. That's not good for the NYT, and it's not good for trust in journalism.
Because of Mamdani’s paying influencers to promote him, I now assume by default that everyone in NYC who’s been praising him online like they’re in a cult or something has been getting paid to do that. That’s not good for Mamdani & it’s not good for trust in government.

This monstrosity near Arlington National Cemetery is a disgrace and a litmus test for me in 2028 primary. Maybe for others too. If no pledge to tear it down, then cross off list for consideration.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Artistic beauty, but I have encountered some things in nature that COULD be works of art. Sunsets, most things in astronomy, my wife, the grand canyon, that kind of thing.

Thought experiment:
You're the CEO of a car company.
A sales rep says he has an AI that can automate the jobs of 60% of your employees.
You run the numbers, and see that laying off those employees will save $150 million in payroll.
Question: How much will the AI probably cost?
