I’ve been wondering why I’m so skeptical of and unimpressed with AI. I realize it’s because no AI is as compelling as Data. What AI worth its salt learns about humanity and doesn’t then want to act out Sherlock stories, play violin, waltz, and learn about the magic of friendship?

“people like health care” no shit sherlock. health insurance, which is the actual topic at hand here, is usually a barrier to health care. the circles you’re seeing is from all the centrist spin and left punching you’re doing.
No matter how much you guys twist yourselves in circles, there isn't strong evidence most Americans are unhappy with their health care. That's the problem! The system is broken and people mostly don't want to change it.

The Vice President of the Steel Workers Union who endorsed Trump now says he is “very frustrated” Trump says he’ll cancel the U.S. Steel - Nippon deal.
“He lied to us. It's like a gut punch."
Does he deserve losing thousands of dollars and jobs?

I have noticed a lot of recent Sherlock Holmes pastiches are using genAI to create their covers. For legal, ethical, and artistic reasons, I will not buy such a book.

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government.
A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

This is a lie Republicans created and perpetuate to condition you into accepting the loss of an earned benefit you paid for in every check you ever earned.

The Hayes Code is one of those absolutely insane bits of cultural history that should be talked about way more. Like it's directly responsible for a lot of the modern american conservative's glorification of the past; a fake world where nobody swears and every hero is a good Christian
