It's funny and good that many people in public office couldn't pass a high school history class.

I think they know what they're doing here. No quote scrubbing, no sane washing, allowing him to demonstrate how briefly he can focus on any one thought. Example after example of how little his team is telling him about anything.

When are people in the sports world going to stand up and say “we would prefer the openly evil 28% approval rating president not attend our game in-person because it is a massive inconvenience for our in-person fans, a strain on local law enforcement, and harms the television product”

I just think presidents shouldn't go to football games. Maybe they could do presidential stuff instead. Or watch on the tv at the white house in between meetings.

More than a skynet sort of situation, we should be worried at how much of their humanity people are letting atrophy as they outsource all thought and emotion and compassion and empathy to these prediction robots.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

It’s pretty telling that the one person who unites all of us isn’t being lauded for the number of records they sold or how good they were at business, but for their acceptance of all, generosity of heart, and joy of spirit.

Texas Was Once a Leader in Government Transparency. No More.
Our state once wanted residents to know what politicians were saying and doing behind closed doors. Now leaders are redacting most everything.

This is 100% the reader's version of the classic "I want to be able to say I have written, without doing the writing" use case for AI. Nobody is forcing you to "plow through" a book list! If you hate books and reading this much, you can just opt out. But they want to be able to say they've "read."

Trump’s Border-Wall Construction Is Set to Bulldoze the Porvenir Massacre Site
It is considered sacred ground for the descendants of those killed in a mass execution. The border wall threatens to erase it from history.

On Wednesday night, Houston’s White Oak Music Hall hosted an unusual lineup. 👀 On the main stage: Attorney General Ken Paxton. On the smaller upstairs stage: Meet Me @ the Altar, an all-female punk band, and Leisure Hour, an emo rock act known for its following of “DIY emo baddies.”

In Houston, It Was Ken Paxton Versus the Emo Baddies
The U.S. Senate candidate shared a concert venue with an emo band. Their tones were remarkably similar.

Nope, just an incorrect AI summary on an attachment with less than 20 lines of data. I'm sure the AI summaries folks are using to write and research do better though. And anyway, everyone is checking their work at every step, right? Right?

T. Scott Ray @tscottray.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
I read the summary quickly, not at first aware it was an AI summary--they put it right at the top in what looks like the body of the text--and was instantly angry because it seemed like a billing error.

My most recent AI experience was, as all of them have been, not one I signed up for. Gmail summarized an attachment where Gemini confused how much money I was owed with how much was deducted from a deposit.

I think the boldest Odyssey adaptation choice Nolan made was using Adele's "Someone Like You" as the siren's song. It worked for me.
