It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.
Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

Sci-fi author Gene Wolfe is the model for the Pringles guy because he helped develop the container for them (he was an engineer).
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
