I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Garry Trudeau was mocking Trump's deeply pathetic & narcissistic need to name things after himself 38 yrs ago.
11.2088 - Trump renames himself after himself.
And the Kennedy Center will retain its rightful, legal name long after the GOP pretends they never really supported him all that much.

The lesson: if a guy is willing to have his best friend permanently silenced by his DOJ to keep the truth from coming out, he definitely wouldn't have a problem defying a law created by a 421-1 House vote to keep the truth from coming out

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Seems about white
The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

This suggests that the executive's role is the least important and the most expendable.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way.
