Huge amounts of money for calling a double “sig heil” naught but an awkward gesture we shouldn’t worry about. Lot of that sort of money about these days.
Over the summer, I took a long look at the Anti-Defamation League. I learned that they'd alienated their old allies and made few friends in MAGA, but had raked in huge amounts of money. ADL called it a "shallow hit piece." It had 40+ sources.

Inside the Crisis at the Anti-Defamation League
The group used to believe the rights of Jews were inextricable from the rights of everyone else. Its war against anti-Zionism has changed everything.

As a theologian pastor friend put it: “I’ve never seen so much persecution with so little suffering”
the lie that hurts the most people in this movie is the myth that the Christian church in America is under persecution and needs to fight back. the parishioners tell themselves that story over and over so often that it ceases to matter whether or not it’s true. it’s the Gospel of Monsignor Wicks

Indeed, the greatest challenges of our time are not ones of knowledge and know-how, but political will.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
