Undoubtedly, a mountain of fraud, money laundering, and mafia ties, as is the entirety of the Trump empire. It’s astonishing what he’s gotten away with his entire adult life. One for the history books. 🥷🏻🚔🚨

Most definitely 5A, so I can get the lowdown on how Trump was able to bankrupt so many casinos, one after the other. Seems like an impossible task, given you’re playing with house money. 🎰💰😵💫

Above all else, snotty tech bros need to be reined in. Who cares if they stomp their feet in protest. Like taking matches away from a kid playing near a gas tank. No sane person thinks AI should be unleashed onto the world. ⛽️🔥🧯

AI must be broken in like a wild mule, then used wisely, with plenitude of guardrails. It can become a useful tool and instrument; like measuring tape, a compass, a scale, a microscope. Alternatively, left to its own devices, it could be a lethal blow to human culture and ingenuity. 🔬

Nice work, ndweiss. Give me a month or two, there’s a *slight* chance I could figure out how to bake a cake like this. 😳🤔🥮

My pleasure, Cathy. It's rare I stray from my favorites, the great classical symphonies and concertos from the late 19th century, but this was too good to pass up. 💝
