Ronald Reagan is where this bullshit started, probably early but him and throat goat ruined it for all of us.
the fact that Stephen A. Smith is even a semi-serious candidate for the presidency of the United States lets me know we're in the wrong timeline. SOMETHING went awry and now we're all paying dearly for it.

FYI, I love that @phillewis.bsky.social is our own Black CNN. If Phil hasn't said it yet, not sure I believe it.

This deeply concerned/realizing-the-futility-of-stuff-faced candid from a seminar class I guess hosted captures my general feelings on self-promotion. On the other hand, I have no publicist so needs must!

I made a page with all the info you could want about my book!

You have living, suffering victims and people that are unprotected today. But yes, rifling through files for fodder and headlines is important. The plot is lost.

Janet Jackson is the blueprint. She’ll be 60 this year and still dancing smoother than silk. Love her.
Happy 40th Anniversary to Janet Jackson’s third studio album ‘Control’ originally released February 4, 1986 | Listen to the album + read our tribute here: album.ink/JJcontrol

Corporate America is like this: “I’m drowning” “Cool, while you’re down there can you please get me a few extra fish? I need them for my sushi arrangement.”

So the Grammy pre-show they're just making all the winners do calisthenics? Everyone is running bc they seated them in the parking lot. It's rude.

Think about the shit quality of the roads. Now how many roads and bridges are under federal control. And you want AI to write rules that say how laws related to funding, quality, safety, and standards are to operate? Oh, okay.
February 1, 2026 at 12:35 AM
Said another way you want people to write rules you can figure out how to follow, that work in real life with other rules and are practical and lawful.
February 1, 2026 at 12:32 AM
Regulations impact almost every part of your daily life and you want smart people to write them. Why? Because they will consider interdependencies and practical real world things like administrability.
February 1, 2026 at 12:31 AM
For example, the rule that says intercompany transactions have to charge an arm’s length price is a short code section. The rules on how you actually calculate those prices and what standards are used are in a couple hundred pages of regs.
February 1, 2026 at 12:29 AM
So Congress is responsible for statutes, the laws that govern us. Administrative Agencies write regulations that tell you how to carry out the law.
February 1, 2026 at 12:27 AM
Okay so the regs will be trash and then everyone will be in court suing over the enforcement of the Administrative Procedures Act. Watch the notice and comment period disappear.

Listen, one of the good things about this app is when Black people post their personal and professional achievements. It really does make the day better.

'Taxi' and 'cab' essentially mean the same thing, but 'cab' doesn't come from 'taxicab.'

It comes from ‘cabriolet,’ which was a type of light carriage.

‘Taxi’ comes from ‘taximeter,’ which is the device that calculates the amount of a fare based on the distance traveled.
