I just want to remind everyone that Peter Yarrow, who was a member of the trio Peter, Paul, & Mary, and who just died today, was a convicted pedophile.
I'm sorry to say he was pardoned by Jimmy Carter, but that doesn't change the fact that Peter Yarrow raped little girls.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

I was just listening to the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata, and Lily was mesmerized. So now I know that in addition to loving flowers, my dog loves Beethoven.

WaPo's editorial board lectured us on decorum yesterday, and then actually had the nerve to say that now wasn't the time to discuss the abuses of the health insurance industry.
Katherine Graham and Ben Bradlee must be spinning in their graves.

If you're a "crypto investment advisor" or some other variety of grifter or corporate shill, don't bother following me because I'll block you instantly. Go hang with your buddy at Xitter.

This take on what happened is vastly underrepresented out there compared to its likely proximity to the ground truth.
I wrote about the things I think are missing from the Dem discourse:
1) scope of the losses (you'd think this was 1984)
2) how media struggles to explain a second Trump win; easier to yell at Dems
3) there might not be a grand theory. it might be uninformed voters' vibes.

Decisive margin probably came from whims of low-information voters
Many swing voters only pay attention to politics long enough to cast their ballots.

Lyndon Johnson was right.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Lily and I were snuggled up on the couch, like we do every morning. I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, she was drinking my coffee. 😑
