Why would Chris Christie launch a presidential campaign that will never succeed? It's a gravy train compared to one-off side gigs as a lobbyist. Seems kind of Occam's Razorish to me. See also, "Buchanan, Pat: 1992, 1996, 2000."

On the "silver lining" side of this is the fact that every time the Fed raises the interest rate, there's a non-zero chance a certain someone might have an aneurysm.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Every. Single. Time. regulations are relaxed and there's a cheaper way to do anything, a company will do that. Fines are small. There's no jail time for execs who say sure, store fresh product next to rotting offal or workers must use plowed fields as latrines and then it *foreseeably* kills people.

Remember, there's no money for health care or disaster relief or adequate food inspection and weather prediction, but plenty of money to support something that already has billions and billions in investment helping it along. (And plenty of money for war and spoiling the people's landmarks.)

I smell a patsy. Who's likely guilty, but was also likely doing what Everyone Else in the Room was doing, including TFG. Cause this guy might hang for it and then all investigations will stop. The hundreds of millions made in seconds, time and time again, was all by him. Sure.

Book lovers! Take the time to read this. Small presses, this is about your submissions now. Authors, this is what we're competing with. Readers, this is the future "meh" of stories if AI is doing the writing.

I simply can't IMAGINE what it must feel like to have a powerful entity STEAL YOUR UNIQUE STUFF and use it to make things that both divert your income to their pocket and help even more people steal from you. That really must just suck so much. #thoughtsandprayers (image from NYT summary)

New York Times summary: American A.I. makers complain about Chinese copycats
One of the most prominent American A.I. companies, Anthropic, sent a letter to Congress last month accusing its Chinese competitors of unfairly copying its technology. Other U.S. labs have argued that China’s A.I. tools would be much further behind theirs if not for a technique called distillation.

That a novel written for lesbians by a lesbian marketed as lesbian romance and about lesbian community, lesbian love, lesbian hopes and dreams, lesbian families, and lesbian spicy activity was TOO lesbian.

Yup. Same in gaming and using mods. It's "he decides to" and "she has to".

The architect of breaking the judiciary as well. He was so intent on winning the courts by any means that he didn't care who received the resulting power, including a madman intent on breaking the country itself. May fire ants be the last thing he sees. ALL of this is on him.

Yes, and TFG wanted to GIVE the entire taxpayer funded apparatus to a corporation who would then sell us what we already paid for. Because it's not a good government program if one of them isn't getting a cut off the top.

I remember when the world sent tall ships to sail into New York Harbor to celebrate the USA's 200th birthday in 1976. When everywhere I looked bicentennial celebrations were happening - big cities, small towns, it was one big celebration. This is grotesque.

Expose your kids to every kind of food possible. Make it a deal that if they will try at least one bite, they don't have to finish it. My kids, as adults, came back to stuff they thought was gross as kids (like peas!), and are truly adventurous about food and its gateway into other cultures.
