I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

1. Here's what I like about the points Cuban lays out: they break a large problem (switching over to a different healthcare system) into smaller chunks.
What I want to see from Dems/progressives: a series of smaller/more tightly-scoped bills that, collectively, shift us to more sane healthcare.

I believe wholeheartedly that it is achievable. But not by just wishing it will happen.
To get there we need to
1. Make the big insurance companies divest non ins biz.
2. Complete transparency on pricing, and the documentation behind the pricing.

The war on Christmas is real. (Also the war on Christians. Just, you know, the brown-skinned ones.)
Catholic Bishops is Florida want a holiday moratorium on immigration enforcement so people can go to church and celebrate Christmas and New Years.
Florida Catholic Bishops call for moratorium on immigration enforcement during Christmas holidays
"Such a pause would show a decent regard for the humanity of these families," they said. "Now is not the time to be callous toward the suffering caused by immigration enforcement."

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.
I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

Let’s crunch some numbers.

- We budget and track our spending; I’ve got good numbers on our groceries.
