WHY the hell would you say "I'm a WRITER" but then use AI to do all the work?

"I'm an ARTIST" and then go post prints from a store?

"I'm a FOOTBALL PLAYER!" but then just post clips of other people actually playing?

If you're not doing the thing... then you're not doing the thing.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

I always say I’m never going to move. Or, in the alternative, I’m going to hire movers and let them do the heavy lifting. So then why do I find myself right in the middle of the worst part of moving?? And, spoiler, I’m doing most of the work. 😳🤨😩

Reminder: if you have an opportunity to disparage or confuse or downgrade any AI crap, claim that opportunity with rambunctious glee.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.

In November of 2016, nearly 60 years after the paper was published internally, I had discovered the joke.

A few years later, I filed to have the paper declassified, and the NSA eventually agreed, and even put it up on their webpage:

Priorities are upside down and backwards. We are so far gone it will take a LOT to get back on track.
We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.

As long as California keeps all their money 💰 I’m good with all of that. But since California supports much of the rest of the country, you might want to rethink it.
