*By* AI, or *with* AI? Two different kettle of fish. “With” is a tool in the hands of an artist or professional (think Stevie Wonder with the then-newfangled electronics). “By” is cutting the human out of the process, turning over the whole work of ‘thinking humans’ to the ‘thinking machine’.

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

You’re not the only one. Back when he started on WFAN, so were several of the call-ins when referring to him. One even was mad at him for boasting about being an Eagle, when New York hates the Philly football team.

Now, don’t let Trump’s booster stop you from getting yours. If you haven’t yet, please get yours. No matter what the Administration wants or does, get the poke. #TheResistance wants you alive and well.
