We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Huh, that post got deleted. I screenshoted it to share on a 'dad chat' as it wasn't visible to non-bsky. Maybe the bird didn't get canned. (Now I have to go find that Sarah Palin interview. )

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

This is why the gaggles are pointless and all self-respecting news outlets should boycott them. Questioners can never pin him down on anything. His all-purpose response when he has no rebuttal is "You are fake news." If that doesn't end the discussion, he just insults the questioner

This is very true. A huge theme in a lot of recent coverage that AI is a bit like Saving Private Ryan. Everybody's gotta step up and adopt AI to get it across the goal line.

The facts are shocking enough, but the bigger reason that the Cornell gang-rape case has broken through is that everyday Americans are sick of the rich and powerful and their sons getting away with it And everyone knows this fish stinks from the head My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/corn...

For a fed-up America, the elite impunity of the Cornell rape case is the last straw | Will Bunch

A nation’s frustration with rich and powerful men boils over after a stunning rape allegation at an Ivy League college.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

This privately funded and constructed “ballroom” is going to be so full of foreign surveillance devices, it’s going to have to be torn down by the next president as a matter of national security — which, happily enough, constitute magic words that make anything a president wants to do legal.
