I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

my first thought was "unmitigated bullshit" but then I realize that part of the problem is all the opportunists that are making tons of money on just telling this dummy anything he wants to hear.
Trump: "I was with the 2 best pollsters - McLaughlin & Fabrizio - & they said, 'Sir, George Washington & Abraham Lincoln, if they came back and ran as president and VP, they couldn't beat you.' Then the following day I was told to stay tuned because there's something really bad happening in China."

the thing is that AI is very good at confident bullshit, which becomes more a part of your job toward the top of the ladder
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

I genuinely think one thing that trips up folks on the left is that they can't imagine not sharing certain core values. Lemme explain. Here's an intuition pump:

Greg Bovino was seen earlier today at the Minneapolis ICE facility dressed in a very nazi-inspired outfit. They don’t even hide anymore.

Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

This whole interview treats the documentary director like a hostile witness. It's pretty gross. All they seem to want is some sort of confirmation that the writers messed up stuff...obviously the interviewer was big mad about the finale so it's pretty unprofessional to me.
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, the high water mark is without a doubt Andor, and Kennedy made it happen against all odds. Filoni wouldn’t have done that (*I adore Rebels*). We are in for years of goofy callbacks and nonsensical connections in a tiny little galaxy dominated by Skywalkers.
Regarding Kathleen Kennedy, I don't think much of most of the work she did on Disney Star Wars. I'm also capable of looking at the past several years of Marvel and Pixar and Disney "live action" and figuring out that the common denominator of suck is not Kathleen Kennedy.
