He has been his own press spokesperson for decades. This position has become a distraction for the masses.

I don't know if there's an official source for starter packs. I found this site and searched for the term "funny people." It might be worth sorting by size to see the largest packs first.

The greatest Danger to a Republic is not that its Rulers should commit extraordinary Offenses, but that the People should grow so accustomed to them that they cease to appear extraordinary. What once would have shaken the Nation now scarcely interrupts its Breakfast.

I'm happy that the CVS locations near me haven't succumbed to locking half of their products in cases that require staff to access.

The Republican Party was a pile of crap before Trump showed up. He simply serves as a tool to make them even crappier. He’s the AI of politics: He makes shit up, exploits every weakness in the system, is soulless and unregulated, and could end up killing us all.

I'm training myself to say "It's okay" when someone steps in front of me and mutters a barely audible apology. That's mostly a reminder to improve my mood.

Remarkable how consistently the Trump administration has adopted the aesthetics of mass shooters, from their schizophrenic social media aesthetic to livestreamed executions to masked men with long guns roaming our streets with impunity. Nihilist violent extremism as statecraft

This morning I heard a news story in which a police spokesman acknowledged the downsides of creating an AI-driven surveillance network that can be used to illegally monitor people but "The good outweighs the bad." I shouted in my car, "No! There is no amount of good that can outweigh the bad!"

"People are asking chatbots how to vote" is the chyron on CNN right now. I can't hear the audio. As flawed as Gen AI can be, I'd actually welcome this. Anything that introduces logic into the process is probably better than the naive way most credulous people make their voting decisions.

The 1948 Looney Tunes short "Scaredy Cat" activated a primal fear of the unknown in little me.

My favorite part of October is when someone in my town starts moving lil ghosts into the little free libraries

A ghost with smaller ghosts on a bookshelf. The bigger ghost holds a sign saying “oh no this library is haunted!!!”

Eventually a new generation of young people will decide it's not worth the trouble to determine if videos are fake or authentic and they'll dismiss the medium itself.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.
