NBC-TV sold us on Donald Trump.

That's power.

Are my DM's open? I have no idea.

But contact me if you want the pitch.

I basically agree with this.
On the other hand, WAR for a +13 Dem seat is supposed to be used to not run up the score but to shave the margin and elect someone more to the left, not the center!

But this just keeps going to show those guys don't understand what politics actually is and why it exists.

Politics exits to determine what we do and how we do it. It doesn't have a mind of its own and doesn't have a neutral state as such.

This means 'Do what is popular' is never a viable political strategy in and of itself because what's popular could be wrong and people can hate you for it!

New temperature standard proposed
0° as freezing, 180° as boiling, simple as. 66.6° is the normal temperature of the human body, naturally

I hate AI slop videos where they use the voice and face of a person I respect.

Anyway, here are some tells:
- weird audio changes: speeding up, slowing down, changes in the sound as if the microphone changed
- odd clipping
- weird repetition

Then I check the channel and the description
Omg I think I fell for AI slop

I will say with love that it would be very wise for a whole lot of us to take a breath and think twice about playing Document Dump Deep Diver on social media.

There are folks who actually have experience parsing this stuff and doing Lib QAnon is not a good look.

A lump of coal for retailers removing price tags, adding cost uncertainty and “search costs”.
And another big lump of coal for Amazon-today I learned that Amazon adjusts pricing of any given item according to variables browsing history and jurisdiction.

Why shops are removing price tags, and why this is bad
Removing in-store price tags imports the uncertainty of online shopping into physical retail, creating an algorithmic marketplace without the algorithm

There’s a certain comfort in horror films. The monster is obvious, the lighting is ominous, and someone always whispers, “We should not go in there,” right before going in there. Real life, unfortunately, prefers a quieter approach.

Typical.
On Christmas day the Israelis have;
- Bombed Deir al Balah in Gaza
- Bombed the Bekaa valley in Lebanon
- Raided several Syrian border villages
- Raided several West Bank villages
- Shot a man who was trying to enter Jerusalem
Stay classy, Israel

I gotta give the College of Cardinals credit.

Naming a Midwestern Pope was a genius counterplay against a New York antichrist.
Merry Christmas!

At a city council meeting about an AI data center going up in my community. It's packed and people are furious. Calling the mayor and council members corrupt. Loud applause for open socialists and anarchists. Naked anti-capitalist rhetoric. Most folks here didn't even know about it until weeks ago.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT tiptoe through those tulips into the Elysian Fields, grew tall, strong, and fine.

And many years later, he was press ganged onto a Navy ship, and died at sea.

Britain is still Britain, after all.
Everyone knows Tiny Tim died in the Ghost of Christmas Future's vision. What this book presupposes is...maybe he didn't
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually became a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

A big bummer from the move from discs (which are not largely out of print/crazy expensive) to streaming is that now I can't easily buy a series or movie for my friends for Christmas.

Now I just nag to plz one day watch this movie on a subscription trial, and it's just not the same 😔
