Saw the video where the President was speaking and had a senior moment, crashed two different ideas together and ended up nuking LA and San Diego. The president clearly didn't mean to support Iran nuking California. What bothered me was his audience cheering. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Obvious to any recovering alcoholic, or anyone who has attended AA or Al-Anon. For the RA, being around people drinking is boring AF. For those drinking, the RA is a downer / buzzkill. Inevitably the two have to split or take time to evolve beyond drinking. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/1...

YouTube should ghetto all AI content. That includes movies, music, videos and voiceovers. There's plenty of human-created (and animal-created, can't forget the cat videos) content to watch and monetize.
