It’s wild to think that dial up internet was literally your computer “talking” over the exact same phone line that you used. We thought we were slick when we could call someone across the country, but then a computer used that same phone line to tell another computer on the other how to make a file.

Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance.
AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving.
That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

I find it funny that Ford thinks BlueCruise is worth $500 a year. Absolutely not. That isn’t even a consideration. You can’t use BlueCruise for more than a couple miles without having to grab the wheel and it is only enabled on certain roadways.

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

People should recognize why Elon is using fresh college grads armed with AI in DOGE. He wants to replace skilled workers who have earned their high salary through years of experience with cheaper workers. And he’s not the only one. Don’t believe me? Read this completely unrelated article.
The California State University system is introducing OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu — a version of ChatGPT customized for educational institutions — to more than 460,000 students and over 63,000 staff and faculty across its 23 campuses.
Cal State students and staff will all have access to ChatGPT Edu
CSU is now the first and largest university system in the U.S. to embrace AI in education.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
