How about letting individual schools decide whether a transgender female can participate in female-oriented sports. It’s not really a federal, state or county issue. And why are transgender males never an issue in male-oriented sports?

Interesting that police departments switched from red lights to blue lights about the same time law enforcement politics switched from blue to red.

I think we need a 10 million person “May Day” March on DC and similar marches at every state capital in the US and every European capital on May 1st against fascism and oligarchs.

I’ve been asking various LLMs to suggest a time and place with historical significance, and with high potential for appeal and impact, to organize a national protest march against fascism in the US (and worldwide), and the consensus seems to be May 1st in Philadelphia. Thoughts?

Trump is demanding that Elon deliver him a new Air Force One, but what he really needs is a bus to throw 340 million people under.

For a country that seems obsessed with the rugged individualistic cowboy image now berating the modern icon of that very image baffles me. Maybe it’s the money after all.

I think NotebookLM should add an option to generate a 2-person comedy routine instead of a podcast as an audio overview. Think Laurel & Hardy, Abbot & Costello, Smothers Brothers, Martin & Lewis, Cheech & Chong, Hope & Crosby, Burns & Allen, and showing my age. Image your resume as a comedy routine.

I have unfollowed almost everyone on X except for a handful of AI/ML people who have not yet migrated or cross-posted to BlueSky. I know I have left some important people behind, but I just can’t stand reading the ‘For You’ feeds or comments on X anymore. Not to mention no blocking or sharing links.

How can Fox News watchers claim that Bluesky is now an echo chamber for liberals? Oh, they heard it on Fox News. Of course.

Why don’t normal people run for office anymore? Clearly, having skeletons in your closet is no longer an issue. In fact, they seem to be an advantage these days. Criminality, infidelity, fraud, misogyny, racism, lying, and the like, are now virtuous. So just lie about having those “virtues” and run.

Would love to see more of the AI/ML community on X come over to BlueSky. They don’t have to leave X, just join, cross-post and help grow the Starter Packs and Feeds on BlueSky. Expanding your reach on a hostile environment to include a friendly one should be a no-brainer.

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.
I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.
Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
