If I think highly of you, and then I find out that you use generative AI, or if you disseminate generative AI junk online, I will think less of you.

An acquaintance said "They've run out of ideas for movies." She said this just before a screening of Wicked: For Good, a movie she was extremely excited about. That movie is based on a musical, which is based on a book, which was inspired by a movie based on a book.

My fellow Americans: Don't be fooled by Marjorie Taylor Greene saying sensible things for once in her life. She's not "good" now. She hasn't had a change of heart or seen the light.

Gavin Newsom posts funny stuff sometimes, but don't forget he's anti-trans rights, and he's hostile to unhoused people, and he should not be in the Democratic presidential primary next year.
