And where do all of those lost wages go from the personnel reductions this will make possible? You can guess.
I thought the Indeed AI Work Report was pretty fascinating. In particular this chart that goes skill by skill and breaks down how much each will be transformed by AI. It reinforces that few jobs will go away completely due to AI, but the vast majority will be transformed by it to some degree.

Remember when MSNBC devoted months of their entire primetime lineup to the Mueller Report, hyping it as the bombshell that would bring down Trump? That's why I'm skeptical about Epstein being Trump's doom. We've been burned too many times already.

"The authoritarian doesn’t need to win arguments or offer genuine compromise. They need only inflict enough pain that resistance becomes morally unbearable... It’s a nasty tactic but an effective one. Create unbearable suffering...Then offer relief in exchange for political surrender."
What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.

For #caturday, here's a picture of Pazuzu, glowering with disdain at the idiots in charge of our country as they gleefully destroy it. Or maybe he doesn't care at all - as long as I keep giving him cat food, and the occasional blood sacrifice. He's a dick like that. #catsofbluesky

If you're democratic candidate for anything and you're not all-in, and I mean all-the-fuck-in for trans rights, go ahead and take a walk over to the republican party where you belong.
Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.
