This is an example of why Donald Trump is just a simple-minded bought-and-paid-for stooge for tech when he talks about AI being self-regulating.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

I do think a lot of the “AI-based” cost cutting is actually bog-standard corporate raiding with a new coat of paint. Most of the data shows that companies adopting AI need more workers, not fewer — so I think it’s all a smokescreen for ‘fire everyone and we’ll sell the company before it collapses’

I guess one of the main reasons he took it down so quickly is he didn't want anyone to check that— as came out quickly later—the row and seat number didn't exist in Atlanta. #beclowned

Finally caught the screen grab of one of the posters from Jack Smith's hearing today. Kennedy getting in on the action and these guys acting like it's a "gotcha". Really trying to tie Jack Smith to the Fani Willis Ga "conspiracy". From the Independent. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Staffer in navy blue suit, red tie with white and blue skinny diagonal stripes, white dress shirt, holds up a poster in front of his face with his right hand. Senator Kennedy, gray haired, big eared, looking mid-stroke, holds up right side of poster with his right hand. He wears a dark grey suit with light blue dress shirt, pale green tie with yellow dots, and a blue pen in his dress shirt pocket. Senator Schmitt sits in between, below the poster, wearing Navy blue suit, white dress shirt, red faced, toothless, squinty eyed, baffled expression. The poster has a large headshot of Fani Willis on the left and a photo of Nathan Wade, her controversial lover, is to the right of her. A photo of a basketball arena is across the bottom 3rd of the poster. A cutout with text headed in red with February 2, 2024 and in black text states Fani Willis acknowledges personal relationship with Nathan Wade.  On the right side of the poster is a header in red: February 3, 2024 and 3 texts:  JP Cooney: Hey man. Is 109 Row 1 reserved for Jack?    and  Damn. Thank you for saving--but we are good. Ask Harbach.  and the 3rd text reads- Gavin Wallach: He is already down here. Thanks.

The game Jack smith actually went to, rather than the Atlanta Hawks game Schmitt's staff thought he went to. Atlanta-Maryland, Hawks-Hawkeyes. Easy mistake I guess.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

What exactly is the point of this judiciary committee meeting? Why aren’t senators Blackburn and Hagerty present? They were going to deny their state electoral votes until the insurrection happened. They changed their minds on return to the chamber that evening. Seems that should be questioned.
