Our tech overloads have pinned their businesses and their identities around "artificial intelligence." Yet when POTUS said he's ordering the US to BAN the term not one spoke out against this insane idea. www.wired.com/story/trumps...

Trump’s Crazy AI Rebrand Was a Loyalty Test for Tech Execs—and It Worked
For years these billionaires gushed obsessively about AI. But they meekly went along when Trump cancelled the term.

Some sources list September 1, 1985, as the release day for Hüsker Dü’s “Flip Your Wig” LP. Bob Mould has called it his favorite album by the band. SST Records publicity photo from that time, from Hüsker Dü Database:

So here's the takeaway: 1- @marymoriarty.bsky.social is good at her job 2- We do NOT need more Cops with bigger budgets & more fancy war machines.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)
