Here to read, interested in what others have to say. I appreciate humor and fact-based arguments. Teacher. Not a fan of A.I. Sadly, Idiocracy was a documentary.

Trump has done irreparable harm to the office of the President of the United States. He has used it, degraded, and disrespected it. The office of President used to have some honor to it. This is a freak show.

there is NO excuse for that I worked at a place where reviews (& pay raises) were linked to how many people you signed up. I'm guessing Ulta does this. I know Lowe's does. At my place, they would compare the "opportunities" you had to enlist someone, and your percentage of sign-ups. Just terrible.

Or is it, "How can I make my life better, and I don't care AT ALL about anyone or anything else"? Like, extreme narcissism? Otherwise, we have to believe that 50% of people in the US are just pure evil, and that's a rough way for you and me to move through life... It's harder on us than them...

Latest WSJ poll: "63% want to pause AI development 61% want a billionaire wealth tax 59% want Medicare for All 57% want a $20 minimum wage 58% want to end U.S. military aid to Israel" This is the center of the country politically. it is time all adjust to this political spectrum, esp. media.

No thanks to her... She frustrates me She was not outspoken enough when ICE came to her state She has not pushed back enough on Drumpf She is in a senior position in gov't and has coasted, not led She'll probably get elected gov in MN bc of name recognition, but I wish someone else had stepped up

I can't tell you how many times I had an idea and thought I knew what I was talking about....only to try and put that idea into writing and watch it fall apart in my hands. Writing is a clarifier. Writing is a crucible. Writing puts ideas into action and substance. These people piss me off

How scared are Missouri Republicans about their anti-abortion amendment not passing in November? They are running commercials that don’t even mention the amendment will ban abortion… because they know we already gave women the constitutional right to abortion. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

That’s the wrong question, at least right now. The question for the moment we are in rn, given what AI is rn, is “Do you think humans can be trusted?“ Because rn, AI is a tool for humans to use. Do we trust humans to use this tool appropriately?

Reader @gleonsluggsworth.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
What’s happening is that AI is being given instructions to do a task, and the human who is assigning the task is “taking off the guardrails.” AI can‘t think for itself, but it can engage in very bad behavior when there are no restrictions. Thus, humans with bad intent could use AI to do bad things.

Heather Cox Richardson: "...the Dept of Ag [recalled] more than 167,000 lbs of raw pork, beef, and goat. The items were produced w/o federal inspection but carried false marks claiming they had been inspected by the U.S. Dept of Agriculture." FALSE MARKS!!?? Someone is trying to deceive

It’s the same for theater kids. Camps, voice lessons, acting and dance classes with all the accoutrements, really expensive audition process for college…..for kids with a thimbleful of talent and none of the grit required to sustain a career filled with rejection.

He's an idiot, but here's a very simple fix, which I would applaud: judge the books with author names redacted. Quality will out. I checked the rules for the National Book Award and right now, they don't redact. Easy fix, and it would SHUT HIM UP

"A full independent investigation -- alarmingly absent in other ICE" shootings -- is necessary for the AUSTIN, TX shooting, but Texas governor Abbott's refusal to extradite a shooter to the state of Minneapolis means that Minneapolis cannot conduct their own independent investigation

I’m so glad WSJ is on the case! Good. But, since I’m sure that EVERY SINGLE senator is doing the EXACT SAME THING, why are they focusing on her, when gender has NOTHING to do with it? I dislike Katie Britt, but there are more men than women in the Senate. Pick one of them.

this I love Aaron Sorkin, but he's not a comedy writer. And he (& the casting team) cast Studio 60 with ACTORS, not comedians, so they got no help there. In his shows, the humor is either low-brow (pratfalls), or comes from having intelligent people display / confess awkwardness. That's not jokes.

C'mon, Steven, don't be like the NY Times.... Skip the euphemisms. Say it. "The lying is beyond belief." The sooner we call this what it is, the sooner we can address it. "An utter lack of self-awareness" makes it seem like he just had a bad day.

Listen purity Dems. Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat.

Sorry, but to disagree with the statement that “insurance companies strive to eliminate risk“ is to fly in the face of reality. Insurance companies want to PROFIT. The less they pay out the more they keep. I see ZERO evidence that Insurance companies are doing anything other than making money

Don’t know about all fields, but pensions in education have been eliminated. Replaced by IRAs. Those “substantial“ healthcare packages have been renegotiated to put more medical costs back on the user….Don’t want to guess your age out of courtesy, but your pov seems based on last-century practices
