A pro tip for those with executive function challenges, is that deciding how much you give a damn is key to the planning of tasks. Sometimes you just say, fuck it, I'm neurodivergent & I do what I want, so this is about to be a half ass, sloppy job.

Our own propaganda was so powerful it has echoed through generations and seeded discontent into the population 75 years later as we compare ourselves to a world that never existed
The 50s were a victory lap for WW2 US propagandists turned advertisers, shilling a utopian view of tomorrow so hard we compare ourselves to something that didn’t exist

I think Zohran (correctly imho) assessed that his chance of protecting NYC was higher by charming two people: the guy with the most real world power and the guy with the least firm ideological commitment to Fascism with a capital F. Except somehow in our fucked up timeline, that's the same guy.

Looking the financial indices out of the UK and apologies if this has ever come up before, but have they considered reviving the economy by joining a large economic and political consortium of countries nearby, say in Europe?

Others have said it before, but if 'AI' was any good, they'd be charging us for it and we'd be happy to pay. Shoehorning it into every single aspect of people's lives just reeks of desperation.

I’m gonna disagree with this one.
What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why.
We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.

“'She did not just approve a fossil fuel project. She made a moral choice,' Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado (D), who is primarying Hochul, said on Monday. 'New Yorkers deserve a governor who does not treat the climate crisis as a PR problem, but as a test of moral leadership.'”
