Windows 10 discontinued support this week. Now windows 11 has AI. Of. Course.

Just park *right* next to it and make them spend a half hour trying to get out of a parking spot. It’s not hard to be overly close since it takes up line to line. I’ll slide across my front seat to use the passenger side door if that means this person deals with consequences of their own decisions.

None of them mention the obvious issues. It’s huge and doesn’t fit in standard parking spots. The guy that can’t see the front of the hood can’t see kids either. It’s a 10pt turn to back out of something and heaven forbid you bump something and cause thousands in damage.

There is a self awareness to this that I didn’t expect. Chotiner’s subjects all think they’re smarter than him - these subjects acknowledge they’re not.

It’s October. Kids need school library books. This is insane.

And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

Need a simple menu for the Wednesday night church group (25-30 folks - adults and kids). What’s your favorite large platform main course? Any suggestions?

FoxNews is well aware of the capabilities of the Secretary. I assume their response was simply LOL.

If no jury would hold Camp Mystic accountable for the deaths that happened under their care, why the need for a publicity tour claiming innocence? Why plead your story to the DMN? Thats a pretty loud announcement of “nothing to see here”

A David Roth It’s Christmastime podcast dropped last week so you are on schedule. It’s a nightmare of a day over here so I may put one on with dinner - the vibes need to change at our house.

I have kids in that range and I would appreciate the compliment. A kid’s willingness to try new things is due to work by a parent.

I’m no billionaire intellectual but I teach Sunday school to elementary kids. I’m surprised, in Mr Thiel’s intense studies, that he didn’t run across Jesus teachings in the gospels. Jesus is pretty clear on his views about wealth. But, then again, I didn’t see the directives about AI so that’s on me

So weird that by stripping the uber rich of their extreme wealth, the antichrist is doing the work of Jesus.

New article incoming explaining that the anti-Christ will definitely be super into investigative journalism.

Natural gas prices are relatively low now, but residential gas utility rates are nearing record highs. Customers are paying more for infrastructure, construction, utility costs and taxes than they are for the actual fuel. My @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

I don’t think the fine folks of LSU would stop him from pursing his dreams. He would probably get some gracious offers to help him pack. That’s the sort of hospitality LSU fans offer.
