Small talk with strangers does not solve loneliness.
“Whatever could be causing a loneliness epidemic?” you ask the internet, sitting in a driverless car wearing headphones that you never take off in public, as an anonymous shopper makes contactless delivery of your meal kits using the keypad entry of your condo atop empty ground floor retail space

This is mostly just trash, but I would find a one-way notes tool like this fairly useful. small tasks, needed groceries, ideas that I think of when I am not going to take 30 seconds to open my phone apps (and get distracted). In the shower, driving, etc.

This has been happening for....a decade? But now it's existence fits into a predefined narrative so ..
Google is adding commentary to its soccer game scores with AI. The LLM is literally just reading the stat sheet and trying to narrate the flow of the game as if it has any idea what's happening.

And we should continue to mock and shame their minority support of a criminal. They don't actually care, just shame them into not joining the cult
If you’re shocked and/or appalled by a white MLB player’s social media follows, you probably should stop following baseball altogether, because boy do I have news for you…

Wikipedia is arguably the greatest thing to come from the Internet/connectivity. Most of us knew this in 2004, though of course there are always people that rail against change. Even, sometimes especially, smart ones.
Something to think about.

The industry maybe, not legalization. Prohibition, abstinence, et al doesn't work
the legalized gambling industry is a net negative for society & deserves heavy scrutiny...
but it seems like this case is about:
1. mafia-organized rigged poker games
2. the regulatory structure of legalized gambling detecting match-fixing which would have gone unnoticed with underground bookies

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.
