Just sitting here thinking about how the embrace of Gen AI is a full-throated rejection of craft and skill in workers by the managerial and ownership class—and proof in their short-sighted and selfish thinking: a bunch of talentless hacks plugged into the slot-machine of capitalist “success.”

“In Da Club” is #1 today in 2003 — the breakout debut single that Eminem and Dre produced for 50 Cent after he was dropped by his former label.
Asked once about the track’s staying power, he said, “Every day it's someone's birthday, so it never loses its relevance.” 🎂

“If vaccines were truly dangerous, life insurers would be the first to warn you. Instead, they worry about smoking, heart disease, and reckless driving. Funny how the ‘truth’ never seems to align with the conspiracy playbook.”

When I titled my book "Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone" I really did not anticipate how hard that phrase would eventually hit.

I read Jonathan Alter’s biography of Jimmy Carter a few years ago. It was simply amazing how he never stopped going 100% in all that life offered: learning to downhill skill at 62, climbing Kilimanjaro at 64, picking up snorkeling at 90.
RIP.
RIP.
