I got sick of wading through ChatGPT’s useless verbiage so I calculated the amount of energy it consumes on filler Works out to 27 billion tokens/day, or the daily consumption of 1000 homes, or an 830-mile drive, or a 4-hr jet flight. Every day, just by ChatGPT Maybe time to focus on optimization?

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

“Wait for an anomaly, then rule against the norm”

I have a rule that has served me well throughout my personal and work life: the Truth makes sense - implying that if it doesn’t make sense, it’s not the truth. It doesn’t make sense that a Christian would support Trump. Most likely explanation? Trump supporters are not Christians.

Excellent interview of a master by a smart interviewer at the top of his game. Likely unpopular because Ken Burns is more honest about the US than its citizens really want to be, but an interesting watch for people who still like using their brains.

“The Oval Office invitation came two days before Walker became the sixth GOP (state) senator to be targeted in a swatting incident since Indiana Senate leaders said they were rejecting Trump’s push for congressional redistricting.” ——

Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..” @adamwren.bsky.social #redistrict dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

"Assaults against ICE up 1,153% in 11 months" news article today Missing, the percentage of Assaults citizens take from ICE, and how much they increased by. When I see reporting like this, all I can think of is This is a damn Hometown Referee calling things.

Jilted John only had one hit but everyone in the audience who witnessed this performance went on to form a band. Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army, Shakatak, Tina Turner and The Jesus and Mary Chain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybp-...

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

I’m not sure if Tesla is keeping this going as part of some legal requirement or investor scam, but it’s pretty clear that Musk’s “camera-only approach” to self-driving won’t work - it will never be good enough. ——

"As ICE officers continue to arrest the most violent criminals nationwide" Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source. They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident. Re-read that last line twice.

I think this experiment of putting unqualified idiots in charge of huge chunks of our government so they’re utterly dependent on Trump for their jobs maybe isn’t playing out the way he thought it would. ——

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.
