Upper Midwestern pseudo-intellectual former(ish) sportswriter in Shakopee, by way of Bemidji (by way of Michigan). This will probably end up being a bunch of posts about politics, Wilco and college hockey. He/him.

I was raised Catholic, I know nothing of "megachurches" and my automatic reaction to hearing the word conjures visions of Joel Osteen (or worse, Dr. Eli Gemstone). I don't get the sense this guy is an "evangelical" like them so maybe someone can educate me: Are there "good" megachurches out there?

Good line here: “If you’re trying to shoot the shit with likeminded people about subjects you’re interested in this is great. And let’s be clear: this isn’t weird at all. In the real world if you’re into jazz, free love and self-expression you’re not going to hang at the local VFW.”

Unfortunately Ford Field is probably the best stadium name in Detroit (recognizable brand, very tied to the city, named after the owners) but the Tigers had the misfortune of being owned by two different pizza guys who didn't have the foresight to name their companies after themselves.

Screenshot of AP headline:

US attorney general suggests AI fears were surfaced to influence midterms

BY JOSH BOAK

Blanche indicated that recent reports about rogue AI agents conducting cyberattacks were somehow leaked to hurt Republicans in November’s midterm elections.

His statements were unusual as the concerns were raised by the leading AI companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Google DeepMind that would profit from wider adoption of the technology.

Blanche noted that “every Democrat senator suddenly races to a microphone to talk about” the AI risks and the need for regulation “after being eerily silent for months and months and months.”

Blanche then said the timing was evidence “of this as being nothing but an effort to to influence the midterms.”

“I shouldn’t have to say that out loud, of course,” Blanche said.
