I have a friend who was downgraded on her performance review because she didn't have enough bandwidth to take AI training. They wanted FIFTEEN HOURS of AI training a week. Just stupid.

How is this not the unlawful invasion of a state by another state's military? Oh, wait. IOKIYAMAGA. I forgot. My bad.

And without a doubt, Mikey's cure for what ails us is lots and lots of his deity. I find it ironic that he cites "the human heart". People lacking hearts shouldn't be pontificating about them.

Any American ex-pats who live in the GDL area? I'd love to chat. Interesting conversations happening at home. I'm almost fluent, so it's just logistics.

We ARE being pushed to find uses for AI in the workplace. And guilt tripped on the regular when we don’t care.

Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.

In my mini town in Vermont, Orange Foolius won the last 3 presidential elections...bigly. I once went in person to vote & found that I had to verbally state my political party in the town hall in order to get a ballot. It's a tactic that could be used elsewhere to intimidate. Now I vote absentee.

I know it's goofy, but I think TayTay & Travis should have a pay-per-view wedding reception. But low-cost...like $5. Then everyone can have house parties & wear formal attire & drink & party alongside America's sweethearts. We're in some shit right now. A moment of joy would be nice.

Wouldn't it be funny if Trump fell asleep during the public ass-kissing? I mean, I know. But I'm trying to find SOME humor in this.

That's my argument when people tell me that this regime won't do a thing because it's illegal. They don't care, and no one is stopping them. Legality is moot at this point.

And yet, the electorate sits back and watches. There should be MILLIONS of us in the streets right now. Pritzker is right, and at the moment the only bulwark against MAGA fascism is the blue state governors. Congress has abdicated. The judiciary is corrupt. We are up shit creek, sans paddle.

Rachel Campos-Duffy asserts that the deployment of Federal troops to Chicago is a form of "customer service". The thing is, though, Rachel....that Chicago really doesn't like or want that type of "service". Trump's Gestapo are just terrorists. They're not helping ANYONE.

Ghislaine says she never saw Trump and Epstein in an "inappropriate situation". Given that she thought sex trafficking and sexual assault of minors was fine, I'd say that's a pretty dubious assertion.

Gunning for that pardon, huh, Ghislaine? "And I just want to say that I find — I — I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I’ve always liked him. So that is the sum and substance of my entire relationship with him," she said.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.
