Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

We have a frontrunner for the 2028 nomination, ladies & gentllemen....
Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Prediction: this will be a total sh!tshow.
Trump is planning to unveil a new proposal for addressing health care costs as soon as today, as his admin tries to avert a spike in premiums driven by the expiration of key Affordable Care Act subsidies, three people familiar with the matter told CNN.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.

At his confirmation hearings, Scalia was asked if it would have been OK for Reagan to pick him among other qualified candidates *because* of his Italian heritage, in order to make the Court more diverse. "No, I think that is a good thing," Scalia said. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/antonin-sc...

"Laugh??? I thought I'd die!!!" 🤣🤣 (from an old George Carlin bit.)
Vance: "We had a meeting with Jeffries and Schumer in the Oval Office. The president whispers to one of his personal assistants and she comes back with two Trump 2028 hats. Then he has the photographer come in and he points at Jeffries as he's holding the Trump 2028 hat! It was a hysterical moment."

This is incredibly, incredibly sad. It was one of the world’s leading public health institutions, but the kooks who Trump hired into federal health leadership positions have done all they can to dismantle it.
Handed a patient a printout of a CDC summary.
They were suspicious.
I pointed out the publication date.
It was from 2024.
“Oh, ok, so this is from when we could trust them.”

You’ve got the goods! Honest question here because I’m sure turkey is driving a big part of the change, how much of that includes promotional prices because there are some stores running turkey promos? Lidl for example is at $0.99/lb with their app.

This post is going to make people INCANDESCENTLY mad but here we go: the annual Farm Bureau survey of a Thanksgiving meal (using the same basket of goods over time) priced out at $55.18 for 10 people this year, -5% YoY. In real terms (delf w/ CPI) it's the cheapest Thanksgiving meal ever.

Any public official who does not denounce the disgusting behavior of this POTUS, and who does not sharply rebuke him for his conduct is unworthy of holding office, un-deserving of public trust, and engaged in an active, on-going violation of their public oath.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
