There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Here are a few reasons off the top of my head why creators don’t LOVE AI:
1. It has been used to create videos of them saying inappropriate things
2. It has been used to sexually harass them
3. It has been used to scam their fans
4. It directly competes with their business and devalues their work

This is a nakedly thuggish and corrupt administration. People who support it should be treated as corrupt thugs.
A media mogel with important merger business before the FCC says he has "great conversations" about it with Trump, while Trump for his part speaks openly about the kind of ownership he wants to see at CNN, a news network he detests.

I like that the "woo yay chaos, Duke destroy the ACC and get JMU in while #10.1 Miami misses again" thing requires simply placing faith in that most stable of elements: Duke football

Tbh I didn't think the committee would paint itself into this corner by ranking JMU tonight. We're really doing this

Available tonight at our show. Batch 2 should be getting here this afternoon that I plan to give to local biz owners I know to hand out. Super cheap online, and according to boots on the ground, very effective in alerting folks ICE is in the area. If you’re in NC please consider doing the same.

Racism is not just morally evil and corrupting to a functional society, it’s also just the dumbest, most simplistic worldview possible, the type of stuff that’s hard to say out loud without sounding like you’ve suffered a serious untreated brain injury

Tens of millions of people are set to lose food stamps in weeks and conservatives are celebrating it right in the open on social media. They’re gleeful about starving children, literally saying “fuck them kids.” Yet another reason that “pro-life” is a misnomer. They’re loudly pro-death
