Thanks to Trump voters, we now have to contemplate things such as, "Will the president of the U.S. pardon mass-murderers?"

A good line from Chat: "AI isn’t replacing designers—it’s replacing slow designers." (Fill in "designers" with various other occupations.)

My most-frequent problem using Chat: I mean to insert a soft-return and hit return instead, which sends the prompt before I'm ready. So Chat is off to the races before I've asked my question.

Another example of anti-semitism out in the open in politics.

Tina Peters’ ally and MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann blames “Satan Jews” for imprisoning Peters: Governor Polis, AG Weiser, DA Rubinstein, SOS Griswold.

Oltmann then repeats his call for executions by hanging.

ICE goons entered a woman’s home without a warrant, guns out, terrorizing her and her two children. The man they were looking for didn’t live at the house.

I'm positive I would have disagreed with many of Kamala Harris's policy moves, had she won. I'm also positive that she would not have called for the execution of leading Republicans, and that we would not now be discussing her relationship with a child rapist.

The House passed a bill to ease up TSA's harassment of women flying with breast milk and supplies. TSA brought my wife to tears over this.

This particular U.S. president calling a woman reporter "piggie" in the midst of a child-rape scandal is not surprising at all. Horrifying, yes. Shameful, yes. Surprising, no. Anyone with eyes knew exactly what we were getting.

We’ve talked about how we in the media normalize (even incentivize) aberrant behavior by public figures who make it their brand.

But just imagine if an official in your city or town had told a female reporter asking about a sex abuse scandal, “Quiet, piggy.” Headlines for days.
When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”
