Always. We've been directed at work to start designing ways to incorporate AI into "production workflows" and everything we've come up with is like a parlor trick. It can do this small thing and that's neat, but that thing also takes as much time to do as to task AI w/ it bsky.app/profile/bibl...

I’ve harped on this for years but the reason there’s a seemingly (or at least relatively) “low” amount of corruption in US politics is because we’ve legalized all of it.

Further contribution to the Blues Traveler discourse is I saw them play in a field between Fredericksburg and Richmond for $8. This was in the 2000s. There was no real reason to do so.

The parade wasn't spontaneous, it required a permit? So you called her on the phone & asked her out as opposed to serendipity? You mean you filled out paperwork to live in a house,you're not just squatting? What the hell? Next you're going to say your parents wanted kids. bsky.app/profile/swin...

I posted Chaplain Moberg’s statement and it got 20,000 thumbs up which to put it mildly was unexpected. This terrific piece shows the person and politics beyond the words.

I'm in the camp that hiring Mike McCarthy is like posting a scarecrow. In this scenario Aaron Rodgers is a crow that does not leave the cornfield. Neither is happy. Neither is any closer to what it wants. They just stare and peck at each other.

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed. This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

What kind of depraved, anti-American sentiment is "ICE > MN" anyway? I know it's commonplace now, but that's a whole goddamn state. Who would have ever said "our paramilitary organization is more important to us than an American state" and kept their job before

you’re not going to convince people that someone they knew was a “terrorist.” you’re going to make sure no one believes you anymore when you accuse ANYONE you’ve killed of having been a threat.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

I'm glad Jim Reardon ended up being a very important Pixar person, with an Oscar nomination for writing the script to Wall-E. But it's pretty clear from this 1986 student short film why he ended up on The Simpsons first.
