Die Hard is a Christmas movie because the Jewish screenwriter says it’s a Christmas movie.

Die Hard is very much a Christmas movie. It is thoroughly imbued with the holiday spirit. SGT Powell is even humming Christmas songs in his first scene. But the film is also set in LA, which means no one is bundled up against the cold unless the temp falls below 70.

I can’t get the piece to load, but I’m curious about how much of that 27% is just software engineers, too.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

The system is purposefully vague and ambiguous to protect those calling for censorship. But my understanding is that the card networks are particularly to blame. Mastercard especially
After months of this nonsense and all it has cost everybody involved, has anybody worked out just who exactly is pushing for all the censorship? I've only ever seen vague mentions of 'The payment processors'.

I personally believe Mastercard alone is responsible for 75% of the shit we are dealing with. The other 25% is from Visa following suit, censorious payment processors, etc.

At least half of those kids got the COVID vaccine as of pre DT CDC numbers (approx 36 million kids)
