AI does NOT replace cognition. It is a parlor trick being sold to rubes, promising they will be enriched by displacing, for pennies on the dollar, the human capital achieved by actual human cognition.
Great GREAT hat tip!

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

As many are pointing out - the (white) countries he lists have universal health care, strong unions, a real social safety net, etc… why would they come here?

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Jesus, just stop. Democrats are winning now.

And if some voters feel this way about Democrats, a major reason is that THE FUCKING CONSULTANTS KEEP SAYING THE PARTY IS TOO LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH. They incessantly reinforce the stereotype.

Jessica: Trump doesn't have the same issues that Joe Biden did. He doesn't have a supply chain problem. He doesn't have a global health pandemic. He's just setting our economy on fire and not in a good way. Like the dumpster fire way

Guys. Recently, in anticipation of listening to your ep on “Heat”, I watched the movie. Never seen it, was amazed.

Interest piqued on Michael Mann, just watched “The Insider”, which I watched years ago. Amazing again. Thanks for your guidance.

Reading “Final Orbit”. Born 1961, lifelong NASA nerd. I was today years old when I learned NASA stuck with pure oxygen after the Apollo 1 tragedy. (Except for launch phase.) Googled some great info.

Thanks!

Futile pet peeve, I know, but can we all stop calling electronic video recording, “filming”?
“Recording” covers all media.
Even “taping” is more accurate.

Yes I SAID I know.

If Kamala Harris had been a white man, she'd likely be President now.

The END.

Folks need to be honest about this. I'm tired of people ignoring the blatant misogynoir that laces every conversation.
If Kamala Harris had picked Josh Shapiro as a running mate, she’d likely be President now.

Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin almost always vote the same way in any given election. And she only barely lost these three states.

In Massachusetts and across the country, the Trump admin is turning the pursuit of the American Dream into an American Nightmare. This is wrong, this is immoral, and this is exactly why we must continue to fight back against Trump’s racist anti-immigrant agenda.

Mark Kelly: “Jobs are down. Wages are flat. Costs are up & this President is asleep — Like literally, he’s falling asleep on the job. It’s hurting the American people — He’s doing nothing to try to help people with the cost of groceries, rent, & healthcare”

This pathetic creature is consumed by hate because the world sees him for what he is.

A wretched loser who could never measure up to the accomplishments and legacies of the people he is obsessed with destroying.

Republicans are beyond spineless for their allegiance to this toxic trash heap.
