My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

“Canada has the right, under domestic and international law, to suspend patent rights held by U.S.-controlled companies in key sectors, such as pharmaceuticals and artificial intelligence. This would put tremendous pressure on the Trump administration.” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Opinion: Canada must hit the U.S. where it hurts most: its lucrative patents
If the United States declares economic warfare on Canada, we need policies that not only cost U.S. firms but create opportunities for Canadian ones

Very little of what Trump does these days amazes me.
Any one of the last three of Trump’s Cabinet-level picks (Gabbard as DNI, Gaetz as AG, RFK for HHS), standing alone, would arguably have been the worst in American history.

Insanity
President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly invoked a religious anointing since he survived an assassination attempt in July. Now many Christian conservatives believe his return to power is more than an electoral mandate: they believe it is a divine one. nyti.ms/3YWzBI6
