Democrats who fret about “unifying the country” and “finding common ground” ignore the fact that hating Trump and his lackeys is, right now, as united as the United States can be about almost anything. bsky.app/profile/rude...

All I thought was: If a device manufacturer can replace expensive salespeople with a chatbot explaining the features and functions of their products and then offer doctors a discount to work with the bot, those doctors will immediately forget every lunch you ever bought them. You absolute fool.

A medical device sales guy was asking me about AI and Hollywood: “Looks like that might be it for you writers.” I explained the WGA strike, how AI generates work from the theft of writers’ work, etc. He shrugged. “Well *my* job can’t be replaced by AI bc a doctor always wants to talk to a person.”

Institutional goodwill earned by other administrations has been a huge weapon in Trump’s destruction of institutions. What version of the Trump DoJ has earned months of the benefit of the doubt? And yet.

A Democrat-run government will be stuck with Musk as a crucial space/defense/satellite communications contractor. That’s partly the fault of Biden, who did nothing to try to unwind US reliance on Musk. So I think that limits how aggressively Democrats as a party go after him.

She pulled her kids out of their NYC private schools, which she thought were too “left wing woke.” I think uprooting one’s family is more than just saying stupid, racist stuff for clicks; she believes it (also, as a Collegiate alum, lol) nypost.com/2020/11/18/m...

The president of the United States calls political opponents, journalists, and non-white immigrants, “vermin,” “scum,” and “enemies of the American people.” That is, apparently, “what we do here in America.” I prefer the tradition of calling literal Nazis what they are.

I think Ossoff, Al Sayed, and other effective Democrats are *finally* running on not just what they’re for but who they’re against. People don’t all follow policy, and it’s too easy for Republicans to make centrist noises and blur lines. Strong, targeted, personal stuff is stickier, harder to duck.

NEW EPISODE: we go through the rarely seen minutes of the USFA Annual Meeting from June 1928. It’s a snapshot of a time when U.S. soccer was on the rise as a world power, with issues and conflicts that mirror our game today. And it’s an absolute playground for terrible regional accents.

Walked past an art installation at the Lucas Museum, and a woman was whispering very proudly to her friends, “It must be about Trump” and it’s like, yeah, it’s not a fucking puzzle.

Oh he revels in violence fantasies. He loves a long rally description of immigrants kidnapping and assaulting white women, etc. I’m surprised he didn’t put more color on what a bombed-out US city would look like.  He’s an abusive piece of shit.
