Went to see "It's a Wonderful Life" on a local big screen. Always shed a tear. What amazing committment each actor has to their part, no matter how small. Gotta give #Capra a lot of credit. #film #holidayfilm

I have no problem with reasonable political disagreement and wanted outside my silo, so I stayed on #X. But it's become a pig sty of racist and antisemitic dung and violence for its own sake.

Ed Sherman aka George Crater did a #humor column for #Downbeat and recorded an album “Out of My Head” for Riverside. He doesn't always kill, but when he does, he does. #jazz

US President Donald #Trump is awarded the first #FIFA Peace Prize by Gianni Infantino.

Perfect. A more currupt, bribe-taking, money-laundering, kickbak-taking organization than FIFA would be hard to find.

The #AI train continues unrestrained down the track: Sam Altman told employees #ChatGPT is moving into a “code red” surge to improve after Google’s recent upgrades.

But don't worry, "Leading the Future," a pro-AI #PAC with a more than $100 million war chest, is on the public relations case.
