I worked on some stuff for Sesame Workshop a few years ago. One of few contracts I felt made the world better off with a good cost to benefit ratio as well.

Nowadays teaching kids basic arithmetic and volition is “woke propaganda” 🙄

Disagreement in congress isn’t new, and the solution has always been negotiating. We’re in a shutdown exactly because Mike Johnson is obstructing negotiations.

He called early recess in July. He canceled votes on Monday and Tuesday this week. He refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

CALL HIM OUT!!

You know what? Fuck it, let’s do triannual reporting. That’s every 4 months, which ChatGPT calls a quadrimester. Anyone opposed to this idea is a yellow-bellied desk jockey. ChatGPT didn’t say that part.

Think that’s stupid? Read the room.

Hit the nail on the head.

In terms of practical applications, I’ve found the most success when they’re deriving:
* Translate some spoken audio to text
* Take a photocopied form and extract some structured data.

LoL didn’t allow my prior username, so I abridged it to “moose” and made it more regal sounding (also unique).

It suits me in a variety of ways, so I’ve kept it.

Governor Moore can’t impeach the president and the Maryland attorney general is already suing the Trump administration… Your glib remarks here are pointless.

A few more shots. Notice the exposed elevator and trusses on the bridge. Brutal!

Here’s a building at a college local to me. Visible structural elements? Yep. Bare materials? Yep. I’d personally call it brutalist.

Wikipedia: “Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.”

DC Metro (WMATA) stations are a prime example.
