This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

If there is a Democratic POTUS in 2029, we also need to push that the AG has multiple Special Counsels appointed with specific areas to investigate and a one year timeline. Realistically need about a dozen, including one for Trump family business, another for Cabinet, one for pardons, etc.

I resent, but am not surprised, that my education in the South for K-12 and college did not include Baldwin. His writing was certainly more thought provoking than much of the required reading. Right up there with arguments over why there was a Civil War w/o reading the Confederate Constitutions.

I installed metal roofs and worked in a sheet metal shop from 19 to 23. That is why I jumped at the opportunity to work with computer and made that my career. Will thank the older guys in construction who all but physically abused me to make damn sure I was lifting things properly though.

Read an article in July where unnamed GOP Congregation sources were lamenting the exclusive focus on ideology for new interns, which had essentially purged intelligence and competency from the recruits. It neglected to mention this purging has been true across all levels for a decade.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

For as much as he claims to loathe government, Musk is massively tied to it. If countries started looking at Musk as the National Security Risk that truthfully any one person with the access he has is and cancels or downward negotiates contracts, he is at risk. Zuckerberg will last longer.

(When installing metal roofs, you pull triangles, ideally a bigger one, to make sure you're square to keep the panels straight. He only knew 6-8-10 and there wasn't enough space. There is a reason as the part time college guy I laid out the roofs and not him from measurements.)

I worked with one guy who almost started a fist fight with me over a 3-4-5 triangle being the same as a 6-8-10 (high school dropout) who had a work ethic better than entire frat houses, treated women with respect, and was more trustworthy than any frat I met.

Growing up in a college town and working construction for the few years I ran into frat boys. Seemed equal or less academic than the average construction worker, more misogynistic, worse ratio of functional alcoholics, and work ethics that were pathetic. Perfect candidates for Good Old Boys Club

Given Trump fired the people accurately reporting the numbers we have to assume it is worse. Especially since they have repeatedly massively downgraded numbers months later, opposed to minor corrections previously. What truly sucks is we know it is going to get worse.
