Rural doctor, now in New Zealand. Learned the trade in Alaska. Recovering web developer and coder from the dotcom era. More interests than time, usually.

I suppose he could try the "Yeah, my daughter married an asshole; she never did listen to me" approach. But if he really does broadcast from Mike's house, that's not going to go far...

If you're hiring manager cares about what beverage you brought to the interview more than your qualifications, then the hiring manager is fucking idiot. Why does management always suck so much?

"If we lose the midterms it's because John Thune let too many Americans vote" is pretty damned desperate. Pathetic losers all the way down.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

Regime change! OK, no regime change. Unconditional surrender! OK, no surrender. Nuclear deal! OK, no nuclear deal. But we control Hormuz! OK, we don’t control Hormuz. But we’re squeezing them economically into concessions! OK, no concessions. But maybe a future president can get something, IDK.

That's because he's not talking about foodborne illness. He's invented his own category of "food-induced" illness, which as near as I can tell, involves any death from anything he can't understand. Which is a wide and flowing river, unfortunately.

I gave up on him for good when he was on The Bulwark podcast and when asked about what we might do about the Palestine problem, his response was "All I can think of is to wipe them out and start over." If that's your only idea, sir, then I need none further from you.

I think this gets to the heart of liberal-left complaints about the press. Political reporters think we're criticizing them for not being on "our" side. We're not. We're criticizing them for not being on journalism's side. Unplug from the DC celebrity access system and do honest independent work.

That is so long gone that folks have moved to "because that person is an expert, we don't trust them". The US is so hopelessly screwed. At this point we're just hoping to keep it contained there.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

Damned few TV shows that could make you cry, shake on the edge of your seat in near-panic, and laugh until it hurts. Sometimes in the same episode. If "art" is the act of making something that causes someone else to feel emotions, then M*A*S*H was the very truest art.

As an acknowledged expert on this subject, I would like to ask your opinion on the option of butter below the peanut butter. i.e. bread surface -> butter -> PB -> J. Somehow this has always been my learned approach to maximum Dopamine Per Sandwich (DPS). But I've similarly been told it's weird.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
