The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

J. D. Vance thinking that VERMONT would be a good place to hide is just one more bit of evidence that he's not at all in touch with reality.

Haha 😂 Trump appointees at USAID sent terminated employees a list of over 100 prohibited weapons they cannot bring when retrieving their belongings. The list includes firearms, axes, martial arts weapons like nunchucks and throwing stars, spearguns, and even dynamite.

I may have undersold this in my thread, but it really is astonishing as a reflection of where our government is right now. People literally don't know who is responsible for major decisions, like with DOJ saying it doesn't know who's in chard of DOGE.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

same idea - donate your clothes to the college LGBTQ+ groups. young trans people applying for jobs who don’t have their parents’ support need professional clothes that they identify with !
Rare serious share:
If you have well kept clothes to donate, instead of giving them to be resold, reach out to a local junior/community college and see if their career center has a clothes closet, they are always looking for job/interview appropriate clothing for their students
