The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.
You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

NEWS: The D.C. Council has rejected a bill that would have delayed the rollout of ranked-choice voting next year, both for the June primary and November general. RCV is now a go.
Only votes for the bill came from Bonds, Felder, McDuffie, Mendelson, and Trayon White.

I have spent about a week getting my ass kicked by an outline. Multiple drafts of multiple paths through the story, all hitting dead ends, or taking too long to get to the point. The job is to work through these until I find the one that works. A machine randomizing a hundred more options ain’t it.
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Politicial scientists have long theorized about what we might glean if we had access to the every thought of a dying man in charge of a nuclear arsenal. Turns out it's way way more complaints about percieved enemies in the media than anticipated.

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this.
It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!
