A few yards away from Schiffman, Finn Cervino of Queens was defacing a poster with a Sharpie. He included a web address for a website predicting the future of AI and wrote “This is not science fiction. This is reality.”

“We’re living in a world where you got friends that are computers — that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Cervino said. “They’re destroying the world for the dumbest invention I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Q: How should I carry my firearm while I run?

A: Carrying your gun in your hand at all times is optimal, because what if you need to shoot something immediately? Do you really want to have to reach all the way down to a holster or waistband?

True story: Ages ago, when I worked in magazines, a fellow editor at one title used to say, at the end of editorial meetings, "Let's make a magazine." The difference being that he was a chronically sarcastic wise-ass and was being funny.
