It's kind of amazing that Trump has been reduced to old man yelling at clouds and he's not even half way through his second term. Like no one cares or believes him anymore and he's President. The cake is baked.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

At a certain point, Rs are going to have to decide people whether they want people like Grassley and Trump, who aren't going to be around for much longer, establishing this type of precedent.

What makes the current dynamic unsustainable is that the rule of law, appearance of propriety, and good governance are all really important. It cannot be the case, however, that only one political party values those things over an extended period of time. There needs to be one set of rules.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

One of the problems with riding the tide of conspiracy nuts to power, is that they tend to believe more than just one conspiracy, and replacing *experts* with *AI* is going to prove far more problematic for Kennedy than he anticipates.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

Anyway, this is why the entirety of legacy media refusing to drill down on what radical policy proposals mean ahead of an election is bad. Yes, the median voters is a dumbass, but everyone knows that the median voter is a dumbass.

I am not a tax lawyer, but I don't know how you place the build out expenses on what is ostensibly third party, from whom you'll lease the data centers, when it comes to your SEC filings, and then claim the deduction on your taxes.
