@wyden.senate.gov There's value in calling out Trump's BS about Portland, but I'd also like for Dems to start making plans for how to not only mend the fences and guardrails, but make them idiot-proof.

The raptors are out and nobody is talking about putting them back and ensuring they stay there.

A few of them have invented AI that can mimic your voice to steal money from your mom.

Trump had about as much chance winning the Nobel Peace Prize as Kristi Noem has of winning an award from PETA for kindness to animals.

I too have a tremor. My nails also grow too quickly.

No contacts for me...

Seeing "Comey" and "James" in the same sentence talking about two distinct people is a little weird.

I second guess Excel formulas that AI gives me. Ain't no way GitLaw gets even a glance.

Random things about me:

1. I once set myself on fire on purpose
2. I've driven 3,500 miles without a clutch
3. I once climbed 4 stories down a building, from balcony to balcony
4. I've testified before federal grand jury

I'm just waiting for the AI bubble to pop, because what a stupid product.

$Trillions invested, with all that potential, and it's basically just generating deep fakes and porn.

The people who complain about affirmative action and DEI are generally mediocre people who would be exactly where they are regardless.

Also, let's not talk about meritocracy when Pete Hegseth is Sec Def and Donald Trump is Pres. This entire admin is unqualified and mediocre.

I guess I'm old, but in terms of perception of people online, it feels like we've done a speed run from attention whore, to blogger, to influencer, to attention economy, to Bari Weiss having a job she's not qualified for.

I say this as a '90s forum mod. Attention is the stupidest metric.

Are there real people who sit around complaining about that play, and if so, is it just the name that bothers them?

Old-ass man with heavy face paint says the stupidest shit ever and the media is a-okay with all of it.
