Do we *need* that debate to get even dumber, because I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 13h

Turn it around on them and say "Please spare me your Begriffshuberei." (my German is very rusty, but I think it means something like conceptual pedantry).

I'd really like to know who planted this particular bug in his head and why he suddenly cares so much about it. Nobody's problem with "AI", LLMs, or the data center boom (and coming bust, IMO) centers on the word "artificial."

If Trump hates artificial stuff so much, he should stop saying "Fake News" and start saying "Super News."

Really feeling that freedom of speech right about now.

Even though I know Trump has no limits and I respect Aaron's work, I honestly had to check if this was a real Truth Social post. It is. You are now an enemy of the state if you use words Trump doesn't like, even accurate words that 99% of the industry and world uses.

If Republicans lose the House, it's clearly not the fault of this particular guy, the *checks notes* Speaker of the House.

It impacts tax status and employment status in the US.

I hate filling out government forms, because if you ask me a question like "Have you ever performed farmwork?" I'm going to spend 20 minutes debating with myself whether I should report detassling corn for a couple of weeks when I was 14.

Parenting should hit him different -- upside the head.

That Susan Collins debate definitely didn't make Republicans any more willing to debate, I'm betting.

Big news, everyone! McDs slipped an extra sausage patty onto my bacon, egg, and cheese bagel!

I didn't even read half the song title before my brain hit [Play].

Was one of the five Ken Paxton?

"How the hell would I know?" I don't know, because you live in the world and are the President of The United States and maybe shouldn't be proud of being a dumb-ass.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Same, honestly. Rough couple/few years for the SEO world, to be sure. Also, it's been a *long* time to be at one place.

I wouldn't send a "Honey, please" text that needy to my own wife to pay off our *joint* credit card accounts.

I'm kind of stuck on the part where toads are banned. Do the toads know?

Amazon-brand Super Sweetener hitting "shelves" by the end of the week, I'm guessing.

Sweet Baby Jesus, how is this legal?

Add a questionably legal switchblade to your order for just $50!

Look, just to save the rest of you the trouble:

Don't worry, I filled out the lead-gen form as Bill Whiteguy of 901 Tree Bush Lane.

Ok, I had to check out this ad, and of course, the free knife is $9 S&H *each* for a 2-pack:

I'm both terrified and dying laughing at Free Trump Knife .com

I'm imagining they just got a PDF of the Starmind home-page although I'm not sure that would take up two full pages.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Maybe I'll regret it later, but I'm gonna go ahead and *not* read a bunch of posts/articles about the plague in Russia today.

TBTH, spending a whole bunch of time on LinkedIn as I start job-hunting feels a little bit like flossing for a week before my dentist appointment.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Oh, it's bullshit. I'm with you on this one.

Good thing we know that the diamond industry isn't historically abusive and corrupt ... oh, wait, I'm getting an update ...

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm going to assume the question reveals the answer. I am married to a mosquito magnet, so I am too familiar with this situation.

I hope he spends his entire post-Trump life looking over his shoulder for any of the many thousands of military folk who hate him.

I'd take Scrappy Doo or Muttley over him any day.

Kids these days just aren't willing to put in the 146 years of effort.

Did you know that "dumb", "dumber" and "dumbest" all have a 'b' in them? Most people don't know that.

Super-curious how Jonathan shared those insights with The Guardian.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Ah, yes, the Swiss watch deficit. Definitely a key issue for American voters. Please double down on it. I am not an economics genius, but if you give a company in Switzerland money for a Swiss watch, you have, well, a Swiss watch. That's how buying stuff works. It's not a net-loss.

It's hard to imagine someone who has gone from alleged-centrist (or so the MSM assured me) to absolute, bootlicking MAGA toady faster or harder than Burgum.

I'd like the Nobel committee to just say: "But you already got one from María Machado."

I suspect that parenthetical raises more questions than it answers. I do not, for the record, steal clothing from random children to donate to charity. Let me repeatedly be clear on that point for no apparent reason.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

In other news, I have successfully sorted, packaged, and donated 10+ bags of kids' clothes and 2 boxes of kids' books (my kids, not like kids off the street) in the past couple of months.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Similarly, I don't understand how the East Wing of the White House being a crater wasn't nonstop news for 3+ months. Obama renovating a basketball court got more coverage.

Learning to be a privileged asshole to people just doing their job starts early. How about you take the kid to a fucking In-n-Out Burger, super-genius?

I'm sure someone, somewhere enjoys filling it out, and I hope I never meet them.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have teens at home to berate.

I've stopped reading. Grok does that for me now.

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

All their what-abouts also have such obvious follow-ups, like "Yeah, so, Biden did step down."

Dr. Pete Meyers @dr-pete.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

How will I know when *all* the data centers have been built?
