So, have we had enough of Russell Vought and his #Project2025 yet? Have we had enough of the American military in our streets on these ginned up Reichstag fire excuses?
Are you asking yourself WHY only a pitiful 53% of the public disapproves of all this, when we are clearly on the verge of …

I’m listening to Sarah Brightman sing “A White Shade of Pale” on Pandora,
It’s as if Emily Dickenson wandered into a smoky ’60s lounge and refused to leave until everyone shared their feelings.

To be fair, I also feel this way about Rush Limbaugh, Jesse Helms, Charlie Kirk, and most people who profited from pandering to the lowest common denominators among of human beings. I look forward to feeling it about Rupert Murdoch, soon.
Not a day goes by that I don’t wish Roger Ailes would be born again… so I could watch him die.

For literally my entire life, American conservatives have been demonstrably, if not empirically wrong about almost every single thing they ever advocated for. Meanwhile, American liberals have been obscenely incompetent at finding ways to make the public understand that.

In the 1960s, all it took was a single journalist, Walter Cronkite to impact popular opinion and change the direction of the country. And conservatives swore they’d never let that happen again. And to this day, it hasn’t.

The irony of course is that it seems to require a maximum level of democratic governance to achieve a minimum level of privacy protection.

Decades ago, I had a one night stand with a woman who was going to bring to America a blind Italian singer no one ever heard of. I nodded politely. All these years later, hearing Bocelli brings back fond memories of my misspent youth.

Do you have a problem with closing interior doors after the cat (or dog) slips in or out of the room, and just hate the idea of installing a pet door (indoors)? I’ve made a prototype of a solution, and wondering if I should think about marketing it. Reply if you’d buy.

A bombshell lawsuit accuses Trump, Musk, and Gates of running an Epstein-style trafficking ring, stealing tech, and causing immense harm. It's a staggering claim of elite criminal conspiracy seeking over $300 million.

Here’s the most basic answer. AI engineers could give us more precise education about all of them, but especially number five.
FYI: I use GPT constantly, but almost never for input on breaking news. At best, background on it, or a detail of it.

Quite often, yes. But not always. Sometimes GPT errors are not as much about the capabilities as much as the user’s skills with them. And they are hard to acquire because there is minimal documentation. They don’t tell you how to use the tool, nor even what it’s features a

Pro tip: if you’re often using the free version of ChatGPT, few if any of your conclusions about it will be accurate. There is no comparison between how the models behave or perform. I speak from many months of extensive use and experimentation. Pay the $20. It’s essential.

In one breath they say we do no trust our democratic institutions, on the other hand they tell us to listen to them. If lemmings follow this advice, and not their doctor, they deserve every consequence coming their way. I know the kids do not have control but that has been the case....

Really? So many people really don’t understand the diseased mind he has.Extreme malignant narcissism is real and unrelenting. And one can NEVER think there is a bottom or compare the afflicted w ANY normal human reaction.There is NO NORMAL. The longer he goes w/o accountability the worse he will be

When the fuck are we going to rise up and prevent this destruction of the very science that actually made America a great nation. Pussy Riot was correct when they told @maddow last night that Americans are all asleep at the wheel. Wake the fuck up.
