Reminder:

Noem gave $220 million of your tax dollars to a political consultancy group - that is closely tied to her own pockets - to create an ad campaign of her on horseback.

She refuses to answer questions about the expense b/c she insists she is entitled to spend DHS funds as she sees fit.

If LLM data centres that serve generative AI platforms were erased from the Earth…

…we’d be fine.

They prop up nothing of essential value we can’t do ourselves.

If we let them proliferate for a generation, we may lose institutional expertise.

We seem to be getting stupider when we could really use our wits. The antidote? Reading more. Also a good antidote against the evils of social media, from distraction to misinformation. And did I mention the pleasure of it? Don't miss out on the pleasure... #books

Frost: So, what in a sense you’re saying is ... the president can decide that it’s in the best
interest of the nation or something and do something illegal.

Nixon: When the president does it … that means that it is not illegal

While I do not think Fani Willis committed a crime nor should she be prosecuted... she should never be able to eat comfortably in a restaurant ever again.
Judge Dismisses Georgia Election Interference Case Against Trump

The extremely poor judgment exercised by Fulton County DA Fani Willis in hiring a man she was dating as a Special Prosecutor to lead the case against Trump doomed the case.

Do you ever have that dream in which you are incredibly late for work/class and the world seems to be going very slowly as the panic and anxiety rises within you because you know that the consequences for your lateness rise exponentially with each passing minute?

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).
