My sister has a new boss who uses AI for everything, and as a consequence she is finding her own actual competence is highlighted in meetings with execs. AI may have gotten him this far, but inability to back it up live in person is career damaging.

Brain, but my favorite of the genre was the guy smoking pot (?) at a party turning into a braying donkey that everybody else was repulsed by.

They probably billed the govt for 18k gold, put up spraypainted plaster, and pocketed the difference.

Every time I see that footage of Obama skipping down the Air Force One steps without holding on I cringe even though it's been 15 yrs...

Try using just the heel of your hand. It will stabilize you and you'll be in place to clutch if you lose balance, but keep your fingers less contaminated.

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

My father got root canals without novocaine. Not because he thought it made him a badass, but because he thought the novocaine feeling was so creepy he preferred pain. (No sweating was involved, as far as I recall.)

Contractors should be on notice that all of these illegal demolitions will be prosecuted, licenses will be lost, and current and future government contracts canceled. He's not going to pardon them all.

You know these guys weren't pulling permits or using the top grade materials they were no doubt billing for. A corruption task force needs to investigate each "project" and prosecute all participants.

That was my great grandmother's timeline. But even her daughter went from petting the horses that pulled her Dad's fire truck to watching her grandson pilot Blackhawk helicopters.

How exactly are we supposed to know if they're different flocks if they're in the same general vicinity? Are a group on a lawn one flock and three walking down the street 3 blocks away a different flock?

I remember seeing the previews for Die Hard in a movie theatre and the audience laughing and groaning at how bad it looked. I've wondered since if the trailer was that bad or we just didnt realize the guy from Moonlighting had action swagger.

Property taxes are higher in NH than MA, and if you live in NH and work in MA you still pay MA income tax anyway, so it's not attractive to wealthy MAGA for *financial* reasons.

As inept as Pa was in a zillion ways, you could check depth in one place only to run into a sudden change of depth/rut that would upend the whole works in an instant. The real error was not crossing where locals cross, which i guess is harder when you're avoiding them because you're invading them.

The only way to ensure that police and feds wear bodycams (and keep them turned on at critical moments) is to remove immunity from the equation when footage doesn't exist.

What we really need is a no holds barred version of The Long Winter, including all the dark stuff she left out of the book. At least this series is acknowledging that Pa knew their claim wasn't legal from the start.

Ever wander into a small store, realize nobody else is shopping there, then awkwardly admire the merchandise and look for the first opportunity to flee? That's my visceral reaction to these scenes.

I grew up with somewhat modernized Nancy Drew and Bobbsey Twins books. Meaning I still got to wonder what a "roadster" was, but the Black characters' dialogue wasn't so overtly racist. Inherited some older versions from my aunt and was horrified.

Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

My first job tasked me with evaluating/authorizing transfer credits and it was so heartbreaking to tell those guys all that money they'd spent didn't buy them any actual college credit.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)
