Please stop spreading misinformation, please do not post that they had to close the air space over El Paso because the president was sundowning and took Air Force One out for a joyride and now he is doing barrel rolls over West Texas while JD Vance clings to the wing like that Twilight Zone gremlin

Maybe it should be a bigger story that Republicans apparently never know what's happening
CNBC: How unusual is it for a senator to not know what's happening when the FAA shuts down airspace for a major airport for 10 days?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: It's not really my lane right now. It's just not something I'm dealing with. We got so many things we're working on around the world, like Iran

Finally got to see Brandi Carlile live tonight! Her voice was transporting. It was fantastic to hear that gorgeous sound fill up the arena. At the end she stuck around on stage, drinking the experience in (it was her first arena concert)

Interesting thread if you, like me, were equal parts irritated and scared at how much gen AI was being pushed in the commercials last night
Any history of technology people know if there are other technologies that were touted as "here to stay" in the manner of generative AI that...didn't stay?
i guess worth looking into whether people were similarly convinced about other technologies in the past
