In a previous era, the U.S. president calling for the deaths of his political opponents probably would've warranted interrupting everything else on TV for the day.
CNN and MSNBC are running a livestream of Dick Cheney's funeral. Fox News is focusing on the Dem who allegedly misused FEMA funds.

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

It doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how many veggies you eat when it comes to a pandemic.
These things will not stop it, and the shitbirds that Trump has installed in leading public health positions should be fired for even suggesting it would.

I can't speak to this more practically, but you should not use TurboTax for a myriad of reasons (including they lobby to make it so you can't do taxes easily without them). Not everyone can afford to use an accountant (or needs one) but TaxSlayer is fine.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
