Tom Wolfe wrote a brilliant essay about how tech tools meant to make work easier actually just increase the amount of work you end up doing... in the 1970s, about pocket calculators.
HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.
We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

When American Idiot originally came out during the Bush years, I never imagined that the collective ignorance on the Right could have possibly gotten worse. Flash forward almost 22 years as we knock on the door of real-life Idiocracy and Green Day’s iconic middle-finger anthem is even more relevant.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

Didn’t all the second amendment people who voted for Trump tell us that it was Hillary who was going to take their guns
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"
