When I was a young Navy officer, my uncle was the GAO'S manager of the Pentagon during Rumsfeld's tenure. They were planning a large press conference outside in the parking lot just outside his office. The Pentagon's vendor for toilets at the time was called Don's Johns. He saw them and freaked out.

When I was still in college at UW-Madison, my wife and I got an all-black kitten. I named her Reagin, after one of King Lear's "ungrateful daughters".

Bless you! AI is a fucked up experiment that has already cost lives. It should be heavily regulated until someone can prove its accuracy. The tech bros will fight like hell, but it won't make a dent in their yacht operating costs.

Mark, I genuinely respect you and don't want to see you change directions and embrace the GOP. Having said that, I think you should block more haters immediately and present your ideas as well as you can. If you expect everyone to agree with you, you should just go home.

Do you understand how much this bullshit is costing us? Much less the embarrassing misuse of our dedicated Nation Guard and Active Duty troops. Who in their right mind would enlist for this kind of stupid shit?

Let them fail. They obviously don't know what they're doing.
Dale (@daleesmith.bsky.social) reply parent
Disgusting! Shut AI down and regulate the shit of it. AI is not ready for public usage. Remember, the A in AI stands for artificial, although I think it's worse than that. It's bullshit being foisted on the public that is obviously dangerous as hell.

Unreal. Though, six or seven years ago, my grandson (Army) was in the Old Guard at Arlington. My wife and I drove up to see him right before Christmas. I was doing U-turns on K St., it was so dead. Your photos remind me of that visit.

Every Spring in Knoxville, our local Greek Orthodox Church hosts the wildly popular GreekFest. Great dancing, food and festivities. I was surprised it existed in such a red-neck area of our state.
