Medicaid is a very cruel system.
I hope that you are successful with your appeal.

A line chart titled “AI-Generated Content Has Surpassed Human Content.” The chart tracks the relative share of total online content produced by humans versus AI from January 2020 through January 2025. The y-axis represents percentage share, ranging from 0% to 100%.

The green line labeled “Human” starts near 100% in early 2020, maintaining a flat trend until around late 2022. Afterward, it declines sharply through 2023 and 2024, dropping below 50% by late 2024 and settling just under 50% by early 2025.

The yellow-orange line labeled “AI” begins near 0% in 2020, remaining nearly flat until November 2022, when a black callout marker notes: “Nov 2022 – ChatGPT Launches.” Following that point, the AI line rises rapidly, crossing the 50% mark around late 2024, slightly surpassing human content by early 2025.

On the menu tonight:
Butternut squash AND scalloped potato soup. With hot peppers.

Pace yourself.

The “media” should leave one camera and one rotating pool reporter in the Pentagon press room.
Everyone else should just hang out at the nearest Starbucks.

It was truly horrible.
I saw it on the big screen.
Is there some kind of renaissance/nostalgia going on for bad movies made between 1978–1988?

Mission of Burma was such a blind spot for me. You can hear me astonished at 17:00 in this interview as @natlyon.com shares stories of their live shows and how game changing they were.

Ha! Thanks, Kate!
There’s a full documentary about Mission of Burma on YouTube that is really quite good.
