Just a regular schlub… a bit of a dichotomy. I don’t make the rules, yet I do make a living telling machines what to do… but am anti-AI (especially art). 🤷‍♂️ Please: No DMs, No $ begging, No Illuminati, NO MAGA, No Crypto #INFJ 🫘💙💪🌊🌊🌊🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦✊

I’m basically an optimist.

I want to believe in fundamental good.

I want to believe in resilience in the face of adversity.

I want to believe in the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique.

US Solicitor General John Sauer is just not credible.

Politically/metaphorically speaking, of course!

The progress we made 100 or even 50 years ago defies belief in today’s political climate. 😞

He’s been over-promising and under-delivering all his used-car-salesman life. It seems it just takes everyone a bit to catch on.

Crisis, what crisis…?

On the plus side for Andy, those Winter temps in a Norfolk exile will approach room temperatures back in London.

I agree with Obama.

But now comes the same old dirty tricks playbook… bomb threats to polling stations, lawsuits about mail-in ballots etc etc.

It just doesn’t stop. 😣

AI is just so terrible. And not just in art either.

The ravenous hunger for electricity is such that regional data centers when/where springing up are causing utility bills for EVERYONE to go way up. 🤕

Typical. So Trump’s DoJ tries her in Nashville federal court, and likely the orange buffoon releases her. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Partial. I’m sure that translates to: bare minimum. Like maybe $5 to not be held in contempt.

George Mellie @mellieman.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly right. Was saying the exact same thing to my spouse this morning.

Turn the other cheek. Completely.

The simplicity and minimalism of the pre-WW2 era, never mind the time of Lincoln, is exactly the point… only a grandiloquent Trump would stomp his vulgarity on absolutely everything.

Trump went from Federal to Feral.

Probably by the weekend the states will be begging for the National Guard to help quell the unrest. 😞

Thank you kindly, Ray!

I’m not the first to say that Trump is essentially driven by four appetites: attention, money, sex, humiliation.

Everything we see and hear is a weapon of mass distraction to these ends.

Fictional claims by Trump regarding prohibited US banking, rhetoric around annexation of Canadian territory.
