Live your life such that a lack of polar bear rug won in a poker game is your only regret.
Times like this I remember the chat with 93yo Kermit McGranahan, when asked if he had any regrets in his life, said “Should taken the polar bear skin rug in that poker game in my 20s. Never got a chance for another.”

The lesson I have learned over the last 10 years more than any other: Hatred and bigotry and greed are the flames of fascism, but its kindling are people who claim to be well-meaning, yet diagnose our problem as "polarization" without giving thought to the causes over which we are polarized.

one more cab calloway thing: he performed "minnie the moocher" in blues brothers, which was a 1931 song in a 1980 movie, the modern equivalent would be aerosmith performing "back in the saddle" in a movie released this year, you're all welcome

What about the kids actually dying of whooping cough and pertussis due to lack of vaccines
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

…Oh. Oh no. Oh no nonono. …And yet: of course.
"Gen AI" tells you the thing you are statistically most likely to accept so you keep using it— & research shows that most people who like "AI" like it *Because* it sycophantically tells them their ideas are great & should defs be implemented. So… Yeah.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.
