Kushner is the best conduit to ensure bribes reach Trump. Witkoff can't be trusted.

This is true.
But this is also the current MAGA mindset in the face of all the things they find, at minimum, distasteful - if not just plain wrong - "It's for a good reason, it'll get better soon"

Hillary R. Clinton wrote a book with that title - so of course, it was slammed as elitist by the left (but what about the subgroups you don't mention!) and the right (don't tell me how to raise my kid).

I too am not against wealth, necessarily. I am very much against HORDING wealth. You make and/or have a LOT of money, you should pay a LOT of taxes.
(to build and support the floor, not to give that lot of money to ICE/MIC!)

So I thought that previous interview went kinda wrong cause it's not about quality/taste of brand vs generic food, it's about lying about costs.
But good to see them step in their own bullshit (privileged chucklenut buying TWO turkeys)
Overall, Dems gotta stop letting Rs re-frame the criticisms tho.

There are good and valuable reasons for some aspects of "AI" ; the tech will have juice longer than dead NFTs..
But there are *plenty" AI parts that hopefully have a short half life.

Fascinating. Very cool to read. Hoping these sorts of things progress! Thanks for sharing

Our house has well-water, which is fine, but apparently the water is acidic enough to eat through copper and I wasn't keeping up with the softener salt. Discovered after multiple, randomly timed, pinhole leaks and two water heaters in about 5 years.
All waterlines now PVC - an expensive lesson!

My box of unused or can-be-reused plumbing parts is second only to my pile of used/likely-never-reused computer parts.

When implementing major new governmental efforts is *largely* software costs, we're erecting profoundly stupid obstacles to improving society.

I remember my parents last landline but they finally got mobiles a coupleFew years ago and no recall on those. I remember my daughters only cause it's the one registered for Chik-fila mobile orders and they confirm the last 4 digits everytime we pick up, which is not infrequent :)

As a base, just remembering phone numbers. I stored multiple phone #'s in my head for years, and still remember my home phone as a child. But these days, don't remember any beyond my own, and even that's a difficult recall sometimes (fairly, also part of the aging process, as my kids suggest ;)

Would seem to me the better SCOTUS counter action is repeatedly passing variations of law found "unconstitutional" until its in front of judges who/finally agree. Stare decisis apparently doesn't matter anymore. Just keep the loop going till someone breaks

OK sure having Trump explain the etymology of our numeric system would be a bonus

Ok good stop, redeemed

Bagram base and China? What?
Yes the first 80% is Trump being an addled bigot

But what's that last part?
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan
