Hey, television networks, you didn't cower in fear, so now they want to punish you. Are you getting it yet? You need to cover this like the violation of democratic norms that it is.

If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.

Q: Did you personally authorize or approve the livestreamed execution? TRUMP: Did I approve? Absolutely I did

Charlie Kirk gets his wish. He said, in earnest, that executions should be televised and mandatory for children as educational.

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines

The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Except there are a lot of Democrats who practice their religions in ways that are consistent with the Constitution. Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. It's hard to argue that Judeo Christian beliefs didn't inform many of the primary tenets of the Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights.

If you don't agree that Trump could remove illegal immigrants with criminal records without the brutality, killings and denial of due process, you don't respect the rule of law, you enjoy gratuitous violence against other human beings.

I don't understand how it's legal to imprison someone in a country in which they committed no crime. The next Democratic president must cut off all aid to, and diplomatic relations with all countries that participated in this.

Yes, post election. Of course, the Trump administration will likely send ICE agents to polling locations in Democratic led cities on election day as well. They will use multiple tactics. Definitely vote early, in-person this year.

They are going to challenge mail-in ballots. They are going to challenge ballots in Democratic dominated areas. They will work it on multiple levels to sow confusion and to justify sending federal forces into cities.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

And I ——

I don’t really believe that to be true.

It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded ——

Yeah.

I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books.

You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans.
Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers.

Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker.

What do you mean by systems thinker?

They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things.

So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.

Most of them committed no crime in THIS country. Many were here legally but stuck in the morass of our immigration system. Still, being here without permission is not a criminal offense but a civil one, punishable by a fine and deportation to their HOME country. All with DUE PROCESS intact.

Lori O. @loriao.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This is one of the most outrageous things about the immigration debacle. The fact that we're paying third world countries to imprison people who have committed no crimes in those countries. When a Democratic administration takes over, we should cease relations w/ those countries. Cut them off.
