It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Any article that doesn't mention consolidation on the Strip isn't worth reading, since lack of competition is at the heart of rising prices and the sameness of all the Strip casinos.
Downtown is still fun; the Strip is trash, because Caesar's and MGM bought everything and turned it into the Wynn.

So “America First” is a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, US economic development of Gaza, and NATO-equivalent security guarantees for Qatar. Got it.

Wyden's not just the only Senator who knows literally anything about technology, he's apparently also the only one who cares about the mass rape of children by the ruling class.
What a great interview with my Senator @ronwyden.bsky.social about Epstein investigation!
We also got an off-air exclusive: Tom Homan slunk into #Portland yesterday on the d/l because he’s a coward who “left a note” for Wyden 🙄
All that & more Epstein!

Klobuchar's TAKE IT DOWN act is fine for Big Tech companies, but an easily abused death sentence for small sites (like Mastodon hosters). If you run a small site, I can write a bot in minutes that will force you to take down ALL images. You have no choice but to comply.
