In a country of 340 million people we could absolutely find a dozen bleached blonde ladies named Pam who killed someone, which proves that all bleached blonde Pams are vicious killers and should be expelled from the country. Someone should get on that.

Who would've imagined? The man who gets his internet viewing habits monitored by his son to make sure he doesn't look at anything "dirty", is a crass misogynist who has alienated many female Republicans in Congress.

![Roughly speaking those who work in connection with the [automatic computing engine] will be divided into its masters and its servants. Its masters will plan out instruction tables for it, thinking up deeper and deeper ways of using it...The masters are liable to get replaced because as soon as any technique becomes at all stereotyped it becomes possible to devise a system of instruction tables which will enable the electronic computer to do it for itself. It may happen however that the masters will refuse to do this. They may be unwilling to let their jobs be stolen from them in this way. In that case they would surround the whole of their work with mystery and make excuses, couched in well chosen gibberish, whenever any dangerous suggestions were made.

Besides being tacky as hell and disrespectful of an historic building that ain't his, it shows how afraid he is of empty space. Empty space is the abyss staring back at him, telling him his existence is meaningless.
Fam, not to worry…

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
