I've yet to encounter a single AI integration that has made an experience, product and/or service better.
For the love of god, stop forcing this shit on us. Current rant is about LinkedIn nuking their job postings with shitty AI features that you can't manually edit.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

I mean the Constitution is a dead letter at this point. Trump does whatever he wants and Republicans either scoff at the idea he has to follow any rules or retroactively change the rules so he has to follow them.

Part of the reason people don’t believe republicans are as evil as advertised is that democrats won’t stop telling the public how much they love republicans. Biden kept talking about how they were such good guys, even Mitch McConnell, and he’s not alone. Democrats have been some of the best GOP pr.
If you sat down a random panel of Americans and told them what Republicans are currently doing, my guess is that the vast majority simply wouldn't believe you. It comes off like you're describing a Bond villain. The reality sounds wildly different & more extreme than what they hear organically.

New York City Is About to Make a Huge Mistake
Andrew Cuomo, who leads in the mayoral polls, has a Trumpian belief in his own spurious talents and triumphs. His election would likewise be a disaster for everyone subject to his rule.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

One heartening thing I've seen lately is multiple really smart, community-driven friends across the country seriously considering a run for office in upcoming cycles.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
