So, has the Washington Post officially changed their motto from "Democracy Dies in Darkness" to "Lights Out!" yet? 🤔

I've been wracking my brain, trying to think of an absurdist parody of a POTUS in the darkest fictional farces, yet I can't think of one with less gravitas than the guy we actually have.

I'm surprised they're having a funeral for Dick Cheney. Since he's "more machine than man" I presumed he'd simply be recycled. ♻️

Listening to The Pulse on my local public radio station. They're taking about A.I. and in a piece about how to spot A.I. writing, I realize *I* write like A.I.
Always have. It's just the way I write. If you scorn me for that, screw you. I've been writing like that since A.I. was Eliza. Not changing

I wonder if Donald Trump has ever seen "Wag the Dog"?

@paris.nyc seeing how much you loved Tony R. & his applause machine, I wondered if you had ever seen the film "A Face in the Crowd"? It's ancient, but chillingly prescient. Starring Andy (Matlock) Griffith as an "aw, shucks" grifter who becomes the folksy face of fascism. I think you'll love it.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social Listening to your discussion on I.M. about synthetic focus groups, I was struck by the recollection that exactly that scenario was the premise of Daniel Gallouye's novel "Simulacron 3" published in 1963!

Any truth to the rumors that Pete Hegseth has ordered NORAD to stop wasting taxpayer dollars tracking "that fat beardo" on Christmas Eve? 🤨

Has Stephen King ever written a story about evil service animals? I had this thought after witnessing a guide dog deliberately leading a blind man into speeding traffic, and remembering that Malcom in the Middle ep where coworker Craig was held hostage by his helper monkey 😎

U.S. Healthcare is SO borked. I need a separate unique app for each doctor, specialist and facility. It's beyond ridiculous. I miss the days when all one needed was a single web browser this proprietary app nonsense is out of control!
