I've had that line "programmed by fellows with compassion and vision" echoing in my mind about AI, so when Keith Olbermann referenced it, it felt like a spark in the neural network of our shared cultures and wisdom that, more than a living human or generation, will carry us past the AI dangers.

Gladys Kravitz sees stuff but is powerless. The Great Gazoo is invisible to most people and has amazing powers. Describe how each represents a part of the American psyche, especially that of the late 60's and early 70's, and how it echoes in present day cultural dynamics. (From my PhD thesis.)

I hope when Olbermann returns he will address the fact that Nancy Grace got a space telescope named after her before Rita Cosby.

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

Imagine being one of those kids waiting for a parent who never showed up because ICE arrested them. This is beyond cruel. #SheShed #AbolishICE
Screenshot from a “Here’s Why” video showing a man being escorted by a law enforcement officer on a sidewalk while other officers and bystanders stand nearby. Large text reads: “ICE agents in Danbury, CT arrested parents waiting for their kids after school.” The image is labeled “Immigration.”

I did a guitar repair for my friend who was once a Borscht Belt comedian, and got to tell him that all it needed was a schtickle of solder.

Just when you think you've seen everything, you discover that a guy you recently befriended through mutual interest in guitars was once a stand-up comic in the Catskills. "In the best tradition of the Borscht Belt comedian. You'll laugh." Who knew?

They're liars. "Hypocrites" implies two sides, but there aren't two opposing sides. There's the truth of birthright citizenship being the law, and the lie that immigrants are what's wrong with America.

If you have an aortic dissection you need immediate care to even have a chance. Lindsey decided that whatever was bothering him could wait til after he was on the TV. Shakespearean level character resolution.

So people who warned about Catholics on the court getting orders from the Pope were right, but didn't anticipate a Pope who would order them to LISTEN TO JESUS AND DON'T BE DICKS.
