How.... how does he think AI will build houses, get crops from the field, process them safely and get them to people to eat? I don't see AI out here breeding cattle, or pulling calves, or cutting hogs

Sadly, my voice is someplace between Mick Jagger and off key high and lonesome bluegrass. It is generally only good for mimicking the mating sounds of housecats. I can get by on Sympathy for the Devil if I keep my vocal chords tight enough.

I can second that. I do hope that the words 'comeuppance' and the phrase 'hoist upon his own petard' become suddenly *very* relevant. Sucks that half our strategy is relying on the villains own incompetence, Death Star Construction style.

He is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is. I think he views himself as one of history's 'great men' when the reality is that he's a bitter, hateful little soul who got rejected by some pretty women who weren't white as a teenager and never got the fuck over himself, so we all suffer for it.

He went on Bill Maher and said the public outrage over Gaza was the result of a disinformation campaign, I think? There may be more, but that is the TL:DR I know of.

To counter the tactical gators that are being armed by terrorist rogue swamp witches and rural area people with vague and indecipherable French accents?

The Purge continues, unabated by reason.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 14h

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Post Traumatic Disorder

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Guy I used to hang with years ago was airborne. His hip and spine were completely screwed from low altitude stuff.
