I am suddenly seeing a massive uptick in spam calls. I am currently receiving about 15 per minute. Started about 20 minutes ago. Anybody else seeing anything like this?

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

Most regulations exist because somebody tried to or DID get away with something, so we decided to do something about it. So anytime I hear someone say they are against “regulations” or that we just plain have too many “regulations”, I can’t help but wonder what they want to get away with.

Was Trump serious about anything he said on the campaign trail? “No, I’m not gonna lower the price of eggs. No, I’m not gonna end the war in Ukraine. Yes, I’m gonna follow Project 2025. No, I’m not gonna stop being a dictator after Day 1.”

This feels like a big deal. Another case of a red state getting hit hard by Trump.

Thought for the day: Republicans are implementing massive change on a scale not seen since FDR (and much faster than his changes). Meanwhile, the Democrats want to go back to the way things used to be. So, by definition, this means the Democrats are now the conservative party.

When Republicans have deported, killed, or confined every illegal alien to a concentration camp, they will find it solves none of the US’s problems. When that day comes, will they finally start actually solving any problems? No, more likely they will start looking for other scape goats.

This is a part of tariffs a lot of people don’t really stop to consider… if you put a 25% tariff on popular foreign goods, that just gives a green light for domestic producers to raise their prices by 20%.

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

I'll have a discussion from time to time with people who disagree with me if I think it's actually good faith. But most people coming in hot are looking to fight, not actually talk.

We need to stop lumping all “AI” stuff together. Algorithmic analysis of large data sets is not the same thing as a plagiarism generator, even if they function similarly! Don’t tell me ChatGPT is great, actually, because scientists are using somewhat similar technology in a completely different way!

I’m willing to have a serious conversation with people of any political stripe. But if there’s gloating, or mockery of “libs” in their timeline, that’ll probably be a block instead. Such people aren’t actually interested in serious conversation, so why bother?
