Google is justifying a move to default AI search by saying it "removes friction." The problem is that friction is a necessary part of life and this incessant need to rid ourselves of it is going to lead to so many problems we can't anticipate.

Katrena Hunter takes issue with Mississippi legislators approving a $13,000 raise for judges while raising teacher pay by only $2,000. “I think it’s literally insane that nobody thinks or conceives that every career is built on the back of a teacher,” she said.

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Worth noting this campaign produces dozens of videos a month and the only time I've seem them go viral in recent memory is when Elon Musk reshared one that falsely claimed USAID paid for celebrities to visit Ukraine, at a time he was gutting USAID. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...
