If Trump gets that money for his crew, we might as well just turn the Senate and House chambers into ballrooms too. At least they could serve some function then.

And the public may never know who their money was spent on.

Men would rather put the robots in charge than go to therapy

This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

Lovely brisk spring day.

So I'm scrolling on LinkedIn - yes, it's come to that - and I see an ad for AI-generated headshots and I think mine came out pretty damn good, don't you?

Want to read 73 (unless I'm miscounting) of my @crimereads.bsky.social pop culture pieces about crime movies, TV and books? Obscure and delightful stuff? (The more obscure the topic, the better for me.) Here's a link: crimereads.com/author/keith...

Here's how things are going over at The Federalist

Interesting how all of the AI hype puked out by these tech turds uses the language of a sex criminal laughing at the idea of consent. (Ex-Google CEO is alleged to have abused his much younger ex-girlfriend, BTW.)

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

This is insane, similarly to the Manhattan-size data center planned in Utah. We don’t need these resource gobblers. We don’t need AI.

I couldn’t love this more.

I've encountered this in job interviews (journo trying to transition to something else). People genuinely have no idea what journalism entails (research, interviewing, etc), and think it's just people writing whatever they want. 5 seconds, done. No real skills required.

These companies and their execs have so much of their fortunes invested in injecting unwanted AI into our lives they can’t afford to slow the intrusion. As someone else noted, people embrace most advances (cars in the 20th century, computers, etc). Nobody had to force it on most people.

Two of the most common reasons survivors hesitate to report the crime is they don't know if they will be believed and they don't know if their assault is "serious" enough to warrant authorities attention.

Suppose this is true. What, exactly or even approximately, do you do with all the millions of people suddenly without a way to make a living? Because they'll have plenty of torches and pitchforks to do things to you.

Stupider or stupidest?

Before cordless phones, too. And phones with buttons.

Hey voters who casually voted for an lawless, incompetent, moronic, grifting pedophile because you thought he’d be good for the economy & those who just couldn’t be bothered to get your ass off the couch and vote for the intelligent, joyful black lady… 🤬🖕🏾 #ProudBlue

"Make Heaven Crowded" sounds like the mantra of an aspiring school shooter.

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond.

“The Stratos artificial intelligence datacenter will occupy more than 40,000 acres (62 sq miles) in north-western Utah and consume 9GW of power.”

A lot of y’all need diaries.

This is "among the most corrupt acts in American political history...a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers,” says Sen. Ron @wyden.senate.gov. "Trump is a parasite on the American republic.” Why is Wyden this outraged? Click below. I will explain everything.

“…reinforcing previous studies, the researchers found that a patchwork of state, federal and local policies allow data center operators to avoid publicly disclosing their actual water use.”

“I’m a hard-to-fit size.”

It’s a classic for a reason.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

Tell me again how SCOTUS is nonpartisan! I need a good laugh. #USDemocracy www.binnews.com/content/2026...

A lot of libraries are part of interlibrary loan programs so you can reserve virtually any book from almost any library. I love libraries.

I know we keep seeing these stories about Republican officials who are arrested for sex crimes against children, but it's just a string of hundreds of coincidences.

This is flying under the radar, but Trump's cronies have started their own organization to plan 250th anniversary events. Not only is their "Freedom 250" receiving taxpayer funds, it's also soliciting big donations from corporations in exchange for face time with Trump. Everything is for sale.

Tickled to find the STAR TREK LOG series today at the Book Eddy. I used to have them and I let them get away, as I did with the James Blish adaptations of Star Trek TOS episodes.

Why do all my down-time scenes involve food? 🤔 Here's one from 'Darkest Hour', book 3 of the #BattleGroundBookSeries (shortly after a scene where two characters have a fairly heavy conversation while they watch the sun come up). 📚💙 #WritersLife #WritingPrompt #UKYA

Amen!! #ImpatientWordGoblin

Call your congressperson. Even if they’re maga gutter trash like mine. Let them know there will be repercussions.

Lenin died a free man. Stalin died a free man. Both were responsible for the deaths of millions. We have this once chance to get this right.

Wise words from @allyfromnola.bsky.social about the historical and cinematic perspective of racist slurs uttered by a racist billionaire.

trump’s war is to blame.

But guys the Data Centers are the same as <insert thing they are not the same as> so stop worrying about it.

Pearl and Penny were dozing, but their ears were wide awake and listening. #catsofInstagram #catturday

The first time he said this, Trump accidentally stepped on a rake. This time he purposely jumped on it.

It would be hard to find a President more stupid and blatantly racist.
