No idea who Kershaw is or why many of you are cackling at him, but I looked him up, and after blipping through all the baseball stuff I couldn't care less about, I learned he's the great-nephew of astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto. At least he'll always have that.

My daughter follows a certain Vlogger (I think that's the word), and while I agree with most of this person's options, I want to puncture my eardrums after hearing their unfiltered thoughts delivered in the same fucking cadence.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

People ready to hand themselves over to the machines and their creators make me want to vomit. It’s bad enough so few of them create anything.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

They don’t seem to understand that the agony and ecstasy of creation is figuring this stuff. It’s not just input/output but slowly, methodically, joyfully assessing and reassessing. Some things can’t be offloaded to a machine.

@dicknixon.bsky.social This is a very sophisticated message. The camera moves to avoid looking like AI. She wanted people to be certain.

Believe me. There was a collective "WTF!?!" here in Illinois when that happened. Blago is not well-liked here.

I honestly want to know how many folks think their Dem governors, senators, representatives, etc. are insane or stupid enough to say, "I will personally lead a National Guard strike team on the White House at 4 a.m. this Tuesday." Because that's what it feels like.

Anyone who thinks Pritzker is full of shit, I'm eager to hear about all the other governors of Illinois that you think are available. For that matter, other governors who are telling Trump to fuck off.

Really sick of "These other countries without a long history of democracy/originally run by kings and czars/run by revolutionaries who overthrew despots then became despots themselves didn't realize they were authoritarian until it was too late" articles.

One thing I'll give Mitch McConnell, he never looked so stupidly smug as he lied his ass off.

Johnson is a guy holding a bloodied knife, up to the elbows in gore, standing over a body and telling the cops, "Look, are you going to trust your eyes or are you going to trust ME, the guy telling you everything is FINE?"

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

I hope to hold hands with a lady before I die. In the meantime I've been forced to hire a series of hand-doxies to assuage my loneliness.
