You could totally write a play (or at least a Seinfeld episode) about folks waiting in line for Salt Hank’s.

Genuinely couldn’t tell if a video of an explosion in a fireworks factory in Yolo County, CA was AI-generated fake news or not. Right down to the “LiveCopter” chyron.

(It appears to be real.)

Every single Democratic elected who represents NYC should be proudly endorsing Zohran Mamdami, who won the primary fair & square. They should be helping him however he & his team ask.

If they mealy-mouth it or, worse, stand with Cuomo, *they* will be why people hate the party.

NEW from me: Cuomo will NOT drop out tomorrow by the deadline to pull out of the general election.

Still deciding on keeping going on his own line, but he sees a path through a wider general electorate and more scrutiny on Mamdani.

Trump is worse at economics than Liz Truss.

Calamitous ORTBO would be a good name for a Docker container.

Fitting, as they never ask “Why?”

Why you always lying?

This is in fact precisely the wrong way to use AI. A better approach:

Mark Cuban @mcuban.bsky.social · Feb 17

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

The sign says little and achieves nothing.

It is useless, like the party that congratulates itself for such a shallow gesture.

This is not fighting.

Democrats @democrats.org · Feb 13

The sign says it all.

Democrats are standing up for the middle class by fighting the Trump administration’s disastrous policies.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries stands at a podium pointing towards a black sign that reads "REPUBLICANS BETRAY THE MIDDLE CLASS"

They kind of look like an owl’s eyes.

All these Senate confirmations of truly terrible and unqualified humans really brings into perspective just how fucking awful the Matt Gaetz stuff must have been.

Jamie Talbot @majelbsto.at · Feb 5

Really spit on that thang.

Jamie Talbot @majelbsto.at · Feb 5

It’s less about this more recent horrifying trend of regression and exclusion, though I guess it does describe the preconditions of world-beating arrogance and self-deception.

Jamie Talbot @majelbsto.at · Feb 5

Uncanny Valley is a great book about the weirdly hollow and shallow experience of living in the Bay Area during the 2010s techno-optimism boom. Really captures the vibe of that time well.
