Made this over coffee, sat on it, watched all day as folks acted the smug fool on Facebook and Twitter, and certainly in a particular group chat I’m ignoring… so, yeah, here you go.

Bugs Bunny meme where he’s wishing all something a very something, here the first something being Trump voters and the second being the leopards / faces tweet meme.

“Publishing all the heinous things I said is character assassination” is quite the take from this bozo

Giunta claimed the release of the chat is part of "a highly-coordinated year-long character assassination led by Gavin Wax and the New York City Young Republican Club" - an allusion to a once obscured internecine war that has now spilled into the open.
"These logs were sourced by way of extortion and provided to POLITICO by the very same people conspiring against me," he said. "What's most disheartening is that, despite my unwavering support of President Trump since 2016, rouge [sic] members of his administration - including Gavin Wax - have participated in this conspiracy to ruin me publicly simply because I challenged them privately."

Of all the marketed use cases for generative AI, based on the volume of these stories, I feel like the LLM companies have missed out on touting its ability to “Expose incompetent and/or lazy attorneys to sanctions and discipline”.

An attorney in a New York Supreme Court commercial case got caught using AI in his filings, and then got caught using AI again in the brief where he had to explain why he used AI, according to court documents filed earlier this month.

Blue collar, veteran in his 40s, excellent public speaker who’s going into republican districts for town halls with a clear message or an octogenarian being boosted by tonedeaf party establishment. Hmmm… tough choice.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

If the Great Desiccator Ben Shapiro is butthurt over this movie, it’s probably both pretty good and a solid indictment of the right wing jagoff-o-sphere.

I am so sick of living in a world where certain groups insist art & culture be re-oriented to serve their tastes and whims when their own pitiful inability or unwillingness to critically engage with and contemplate creativity clearly demonstrate that art & culture are too good for them.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Considering that The Wire is literally peak television, the idea that AI could improve upon what David Simon created is so absurd as to be laughable.

Imagine after the New Day Co-Op, instead of an iconic line, AI decides that Stringer says: “Hey, my homie, we shouldn’t write down our crimes.” Slop.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Meme about how two different people would react to having a Time Machine.

Top row shows a girl saying “I am your
granddaughter” to another person who reacts with “Really?” and the line “Normal people with a time machine:”

Bottom row shows the line “St. Louisian with a time machine:” and a guy looking at an old classic St. Louis Bread Co location, the text below “I'll take a You-Pick-Two with turkey on sourdough with extra sprouts and broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl, please. Here's $7.50.”
