My beef is that Bernie hasn't even set up a bench that could succeed him in Vermont.

i will chill out about Gerontocracy Discourse the second I see one (1) single progressive throw Bernie under the bus for having already filed to run for another term instead of Stepping Aside To Let Fresh New Blood Into The Party, a thing for which even I am not personally willing to criticise him

this sets out very clearly what OpenAI is doing, it's a fairly simple revenue recognition scam - where you book revenue you haven't yet, ah, received.

(Morally if not legally fraud. Yet.)

Trumpeting "$1 trillion" of receivables on $4.3b actual revenue.

Accounting and the end of the business cycle

Sorry, the guys on the roof are actually from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, not ISP. From distance they look similar.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.
