Showed this to my older child. The response:

“This works for art and music too. AI can’t produce anything great because it will never have imposter syndrome.”
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Linda isn't wrong.
If you whine you didn’t get a prize, have a corrupt organization invent one, award it to you being the only one nominated, and you actually get excited and do the jerk off dance to YMCA, I’d say that’s the reason for all the MRIs.

📌"The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself. As the Ukraine "peace plan" demonstrated.
Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement."

Sen. Kelly: “This is about a president who doesn't want anybody to say anything that he does not like. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I think he is ignorant to the Constitution and the rule of law…This isn't about me. This is about what he will do next.”

They preach “life” and “Christian values,” then turn their backs on actual people.

This administration has made cruelty the norm, from children to trans folks to immigrants.

We deserve better than this.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

The people have spoken and the Democratic party should listen to them.

With our rights and freedoms under attack, we need visionary leaders who serve the people—not special interests or billionaires—and who are committed to building an America where everyone has their basic needs met.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This is how out of touch Republicans are. Higgins apparently thinks $4200 worth of groceries for a family per year is a lot. That works out to less than $81 a week for groceries. I'd like to see him live on that each week.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.

The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.

And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.

No one is coming to save us.

It's entirely up to us.
