I actually am starting to think this is smart messaging because the voting public clearly doesn't care much about what happens to others.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

@hollyanderson.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @celebrityhottub.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social listening to the pod this morning & realized we got the Lawrence Double Fall TD & the Kerkering Error Game Loser in the same week. 2 moments of such panic polar opposites they could flip Earth's magnetic field.

Arguing AI generated stuff is going to kill the human fascination with talent is such a misunderstanding of the human condition that I have to wonder if AI came up with that idea. It's like arguing I'll ever be impressed with AI generated sports. Ooh! Those bits really fake windmill jammed!

Ok, I saw the "RIP Theater Kids" thing and it's just... so stupid. I think of that yoyo tik that @jacketdan.bsky.social posted this week. If that were AI I wouldn't give half a shit about it. But the fact that someone figured out how to do what that dude can do? Holy fuck. Amazing. That's talent.

Ok. Well, accepted the job offer. Sharp bunch of people and a good salary. About all you can ask.

Ironically gave the "verbal" yes via text during a marathon meeting discussing start up ideas with a group over coffee. Sigh. Someday.
