In my last surgery recovery I had good results reframing myself as my own 90 year old grandmother. Gotta be gentle on grandma. Grandma can't be on her feet too long, she gets tired easily.

I am not a virologist but "we used AI to design a virus" feels similar to "I used AI to design a fruit tree"

AltNPS's return to the world of code words and resistance LARPing was inevitable, because this is who they are. This is what got them their fervent audience, and it's what their true believers are here for.

This account owes everything to this LARP. Without it, they're nothing. But they have it.

It's been a while. But somehow, I always knew AltNPS would get back to their roots. They could only resist the LARP for so long.

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
