Why does the new Digg have an AI “TL;DR”? So dumb.

AI sucks. Vince Gilligan is right.

Article on Digg with title ““Pluribus" is the former "X-Files" writer's return to science fiction, and it reunites him with his "Better Call Saul" star Rhea Seehorn, who plays a
romantasy author confronting what seems to be a seemingly alien threat.” Below that is the TL;DR that is AI generated which states: Apple TV's 'Pluribus' credits clarify it was made by humans, with creator Vince Gilligan criticizing Al as a 'plagiarism machine'.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason.

It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

Can Davis Mills break his #Texans 3-way tie record today?

Davis Mills, Sage Rosenfels and David Carr are tied for the most intercepted passes by a Texans quarterback in a game, with 4 interceptions.

We adopted this cutie yesterday from the local shelter. Current leading name is Luna (trying to match it in the vein of our cats’ names, Hex and Jinx). #puppy
