The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Look, I'm one of Braun's biggest defenders and even I cannot imagine any universe in which he's more qualified for the Hall than Bobby Abreu, Mark Buehrle, Torii Hunter, Andy Pettitte, Jimmy Rollins or David Wright...
Ballot #27 is from Chris Assenheimer. Three players join seven holdovers. K-Rod is now net +2, while Chase Utley (+3) gets the third add of his third year of eligibility, this one on his 47th birthday. Braun picks up his 4th vote and is at 14.8%.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Tammy Baldwin fucking sucks. Just another old fossil unfit for any other line of work.

hey look, Ryan Braun is getting more votes than Matt Kemp again...
Ballot #20 is from Joe Reedy. Braun, Hamels, and Pettitte (now +2) join 7 holdovers.
Thru 20 ballots, Beltrán and Jones clear 75%, with 4 others 55%+, including Félix, for whom Reedy is his 1st ‘25 Yes to reveal. Hamels (30%) & Braun (15%) sit above 5% for a 2nd year.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

When this era of fascist grifters is over, maybe then we can consider what might be valuable about what’s now called AI (though it isn’t) and proceed with eyes open. Until then, make your own slop! BETTER slop.

Damn, it’s like a CEO’s job is mostly bullshit or something.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Just imagining the moment on Thanksgiving when Trump, emotional, looked around the table and told each one of his children and his beloved wife how he was overcome with love and gratitude as he told each how they have enriched his life, for which he was thankful.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
