I’m not saying AI can wholesale replace individuals, but it can allow 3 people to do the work of 10.
Rather than shit on AI and automation, we need to rush ahead to meet it with things like universal basic income and universal healthcare.
We can be more than pack mules and digital hamsters.

This market is a soap bubble and we all know it. Claims of the capacity to obviate or automate human labor are absurd. We know this. But that won’t stop them from disrupting labor markets and, with them, human lives. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

The only thing even moderately surprising is the openness with which TFG communicates.
And, at the end of the day, he’s being completely factual here- he’s been shitting on us since Day 1.

Kind of a heavy edit, but one of my favorite family portraits I’ve taken. A too-hot fall day at Bauman Orchard.

I don’t know if this is a MAGA-leaning writer, but he definitely misses the points like one.
There wasn’t anything much controversial about GF, and the protests didn’t happen because he was murdered.
The killer’s job was to protect and serve- a person who held, and violated, the public trust.

I’ve had a few dogs over my 45 years on the planet, but Abbie might be my biggest challenge. Good thing she’s so pretty :) First picture on an iPhone 17 Pro.

Do you want to be friends with the person who is mostly aligned with your beliefs because they’re also your beliefs, or the person who says they’re exactly aligned with your beliefs BECAUSE they want to be friends with you?

Problem with #BlueSky is that there are many creative people. I try to share posts & explore those who may not be as prominent with their work whom I think should be seen. I plan to do more of that. Embrace who you know and don't know! Have a good day x

Being at a dirt track watching sprint cars roar around a track takes me back to one of the few memories I have of early childhood- a rare joy of youth that I can share with my kids.

I’m sure the WNBA & AT&T came up with the four-point shot gimmick before Clark went down, but it really hurt the game to me.
I’d love to see them change it up next year and have a bunch of zones on the court partners can bid on for charity donations, and have a running score per partner onscreen.

In case anyone wanted to ruin their day, here's something to think about:
The Marshal Plan, which helped rebuild Europe after World War 2, cost about $150B in today's dollars.
The CHIPS Act will direct ~ $50B toward the United States tech industry.
Apple spends ~$55B annually in tooling,

It's the same plan over and over: Find the most palatable sub-sub-group to attack [MS-13 < Immigrants, Trans Female Athletes < Trans People], use that as an excuse to attack the group at large.
They don't even care about collateral damage unless it has already affected power retention.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
