Here’s last night’s story about AI chatbots, how their flaws can be hazardous to the public, and why “literal shit on a stick” is probably a bad business idea. No matter what ChatGPT tells you. https://youtu.be/Ykvf3MunGf8

The Generals are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.
Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The constitution is a memory.

We. Are. Not. Okay.

Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

At 7:15PM EST the long national nightmare has ended. The Jets season is over. I had as many interceptions this year as the NY secondary and almost as many passing yards. 35-8 loss against backups and second stringers. Jets owners lucky there is no relegation.

The Jets did it!
A dubious historical mark is at stake this week.

If the Jets don't intercept a pass on Sunday, they'll become the first team in the Super Bowl era to finish a season without a pick.

Weirder still, they'll become the first team to finish a season without a pick in over 80 years.

If you're near NY/NJ and prefer the ad-free experience, a simple transistor radio at home works great. 88.3 FM comes in crystal clear: www.amazon.com/dp/B07XQ325Y3

I hope the limited income the board brings in by turning to commercial ads on the livestream compensates for those listeners who will never donate again, as a result.

I'm tuning to 88.3 FM from now on because WBGO started running programmatic commercial ads on the livestream, replacing its own underwriting spots.

Why is wbgo playing ads?? They are a public radio station. KFC, Macy’s, and capital one. Did some regulation change for public radio stations?

WBGOjazz.bsky.social confirmed ads in IG comment. No notice to listeners, members. No email. Nothing on air. Nothing on site. The "statement" never explains transparency issue and contradicts their own site about underwriting vs. commercials. Major change rolled out in silence.

@wbgojazz.bsky.social, a public jazz station in Newark, NJ, just played an entire ad for eBay. Not an underwriting card. An actual ad, indistinguishable from commercial radio.

I hope @wbgojazz.bsky.social makes a lot of $$$ from this decision. It makes me less, not more willing to donate.
