I’m very excited for my son who has finally found a job that comes with great growth potential. He had been stuck in the kind of work that is pegged to be replaced by AI and robotics.

Every single church and government building in America should have barbecues out front and their members should be feeding anyone who needs to eat.

Every single fire station in America needs to be holding pancake breakfasts.

Every single school cafeteria needs to be open.

Whenever I hear this term I imagine a group of wealthy Republicans in a back room and one of them says Piss on the poor! And then a consultant says Yes, I know. we shall call this trickle down economics!

AI's uncontrolled use of power is going to give rise to utility increases over the next several years. It's time for government to pass a law restricting the amount of power a Utility can provide to AI companies.

She knew how to get to him, did you see the pants she was wearing? I think they were Naugahyde.

In all honesty, I bet Senate Democrats would love for the Republicans to do this. Not only because it would set precedent for them, but they could "cave" without actually "caving"

And when that happens there's no longer a reason to keep the House out of session.

MTG melting down like she's going to ask for a Cabinet position from President Ocasio-Cortez in 2029...

---of course this isn't going to happen for her, but she could ask Sinema about joining her as a lobbyist, I bet that could happen

A Dramatic Lesbian! I'm totally going to ask!

Tomorrow your house will be haunted by the ghost of a very dramatic lesbian.

Under no circumstances ask her about her roommate in 1952.

Typical entry: July 6th, 1960, Marcus Johnson, Once, Self Inflicted.

Hmmm, makes me wonder if they had monitors or simply relied on self reporting.

I swear I think the two best back to back albums are Steely Dan Aja and Gaucho.

The musicianship on these two albums is just mind boggling.

Well now we know where the House Republicans have been hiding.

When Democrats retake the White House, Hegseth should be deported to Venezuela to stand trial there for murder.

Okay I am totally loving these comments

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood the differences between が and は, yet when pressed he said they both served as topic markers while failing to see the nuance between subject and topic marker, as well as contextual clarity provided by postposition particles.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

So Johnson has told every House Republican to stay home and sit on their couches.

Did Vance put him up to this?

Due to many factors, but especially my Social Media feeds it’s abundantly clear that I never intend to run for public office again.

I’m kind of pissed at Japan’s leader for not just letting him wander off.
