I never understood why centrists are so afraid of being called centrist. If it’s such a slur maybe the problem is the policies and not the language.

I posted last week on my LinkedIn business page about some of the failures of AI, especially in terms of B2B services.

Not that surprisingly, the result has been a flood of inbound messages promising all sorts of new AI tools for my business.

I realize basically nobody will care about a ten-year-old show but this b-roll from Younger has the Bank of America building under construction which is amazing since they also work in the BoA tower.

Hey @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social can you do something about these cars that keeping parking on the sidewalk at 182 Montrose Avenue? Ever since this bus company moved in, they've turned the sidewalk into their private parking lot.
