FYI: New Year resolutions don't begin until Monday Jan 5. You're allowed to maintain your bad habits for the rest of the weekend. I don't make the rules (actually, I did make this one, but my vow to stop making arbitrary rules doesn't kick in till Monday).

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

i subscribed to the red zone channel in order to hear the latest about draftkings, but i'd conservatively estimate that 75% of the broadcast has nothing to do with draftkings. they keep trying to shoehorn in all these football games. i don't like football. i don't watch football. what is this shit

Here is a very good example of why you cannot trust headlines or summaries written by AI. This is not the headline of the article found at this link, nor is it, y'know, *true*.

This article in the Guardian claims Mamdani is driving billionaires from NYC to FLA. A "166% increase" likely means that last year 3 people were interested in these apartments and this year it's 8. (It could also be 5, if it's not an "increase" but just year over year numbers.)

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?
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.

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.
