This is what being a human is about!!!! Showing up for each other!!!!!
My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

People want stories.
We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai.
Go be that storyteller.
Go be human and create.

How on EARTH can you be in the political space and not know about FDR??
a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

A big reason the tech billionaires are so interested in government now is they’re not innovating or building anything of value so they need protectionism & monopolistic leverage

the 'they're all corrupt, nothing matters' attitude is one of the reasons Russia is a godawful place and it's very worrying how much it's spreading in the United States
Since the “at their core, do they really *believe* in anything?” question is also leveled at the Democrats our core problem may be that a broad enough swath of the public believes that politics is all Kayfabe so why not vote for the most cynical bastard who promises to hurt your perceived enemies.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.
