Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

Trump’s new AI “accord” has no actual government regulator enforcing it, no penalties for violations, no disclosure requirement and no implementation deadline. The companies choose their own auditors. This isn’t regulation. It’s the consolidation of an unaccountable tech mafia.

What gifts is the US receiving now? Golden trophies and baubles? An unearned Nobel Peace Prize medal? A completely made-up "FIFA Peace Prize"? A Boeing 747-8 from Qatar? No, those were all given directly to Trump. So... they're bribes, actually.

Wild how many of the small-government, strict-Constitutionalist, law-and-order, back-the-blue, support-our-troops, family-values, lower-taxes, balance-the-budget, drain-the-swamp, Epstein-transparency, America-first Republicans threw all of that out and went with Trump. I'll never forgive them. ❌👑

Sturgeon's Law keeps proving its usefulness year after year. As a kid, I absorbed some of my dad's snobbery about sci-fi, and it took a while to wear off. When I first heard "90% of everything is crap," I was like "That's it!" It's easy to see what you don't like, but the good stuff is still there.

Notice that big dip in 2020 when the global pandemic kept everybody from traveling? Visits to the US are nearly that low again, and falling. The rest of the world is literally treating us like we have the plague. I have so many sci-fi story ideas, but I'm too busy job hunting. Because of Trump. 🫩

This is a really inspiring video for me. It says it's about "fair use," but it's more about the whole creative process. I'm a big fan of Matt Johnson these days, the guy doing most of the talking. The first of his movies I saw was actually BlackBerry, which surprised me with how good it was.

I just finished Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan, and holy hell it hit hard. The pathos built up so steadily that there wasn't one particular moment I could point to that started me crying. Just when I thought everything was beautifully resolved (and already sadder than hell) it kept getting sadder.

But also, Trump is a raving moron. A dangerously stupid, mentally decompensating, conman. He’s now operating out of pure brain stem instinct as a lifelong criminal and malignant narcissist. #AI

@realDonald Trump
Many people think that the words "Artificial Intelligence" are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to Al, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (El) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing "Revolution?" President DONALD J.
